Whenever, wherever Amal Clooney appears in public, we’re all but guaranteed a capital-F fashion moment. See her latest outing with her husband, George Clooney. The human rights lawyer stepped out in a look that not only exudes timeless elegance but also serves up three current trends in one outfit. If you’ve been feeling uninspired as we transition from late summer to autumn, look no further.
If we had to name a signature shade for summer 2025, it would undoubtedly be butter yellow, the soft, creamy shade that has conquered both runways and street style. Amal picked up on precisely this shade with her look: Her halter-neck dress by Balmain from the 2026 resort collection not only looks wonderfully fresh in the soft yellow but is also right on trend in terms of colour.

But that’s not all: Midi-dresses are currently one of the fashion crowd’s absolute favourites – they’re classy but not overdressed, and make every outfit look just a touch fancier.
To top it all off, Amal’s dress featured a real statement piece: a wide belt with a golden buckle that accentuates her waist. This third trend really adds a right-now feel to her look, as we’ve spotted a lot of wide belts with eye-catching buckles (often worn several on top of each other) in major fashion houses’ upcoming collections.
Amal reached for a white Balmain bag to complete the outfit, as well as a pair of sparkling diamond earrings and a slim gold Cartier watch.

While summer is coming to an end, there’s no need to give up butter yellow. The shade remains super wearable in autumn and brings light into our mostly muted seasonal wardrobes. Plus, now is also the perfect time to score a deal, as many brands are running end-of-summer sales.
For a look à la Amal Clooney, don’t forget the belt! Tip: The belt doesn’t have to go with the dress. If you have a cool piece in your wardrobe, you can easily conjure up new silhouettes with it. And reminder: Midi-dresses + boots = dream team in autumn. Whether chunky, cowboy, or classic, they are perfectly accentuated by the length of the dress and extend the summer glow fashionably into the next season.
