Amal Clooney, 48, shows off toned legs in bold snake-print skirt with jaw-dropping slit

After a busy few days in Venice, Amal Clooney and her husband George Clooney couldn’t keep the smiles off their faces as they prepared to leave the iconic film festival.

Pictured walking arm in arm with George, Amal, 48, was glowing as she rocked a $1,900 snake-print Elie Saab skirt, which she paired with a black vest top and brown belt.

The asymmetric skirt featured a jaw-droppingly high slit that showed off Amal’s , and which were highlighted with brown platform-wedge sandals.

For the festival‘s opening ceremony, Amal turned heads in a dramatic custom black Tom Ford gown by Haider Ackermann, accessorized with spectacular Cartier diamonds reportedly worth $375,000.   

She has also caught attention in a figure-hugging cream Stella McCartney dress decorated with a playful raspberry print, and an archival Prada mini dress adorned with sparkling turquoise fringe.

The pair were at the festival for George, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award during the annual event’s opening ceremony.

“When they tell you that you’re gonna be getting a Lifetime Achievement Award, there are really only two things that come to mind,” quipped the Oscar winner during his speech.

“The first is that, ‘What an incredible honor this is.’ Then the second is, ‘Do they know something that I don’t? You’ve been talking to my doctors, have you?'”

He continued: “I am grateful to the friendships that I’ve made over a course of a lifetime,” adding of Amal: ‘I am at a loss for words to describe how much I love my wife. How proud I am of her.”

The pair met in 2013 when a friend of George’s brought her as a plus one to a dinner he was holding at his home in Lake Como, Italy.

They married a year later, and welcomed nine-year-old twins Ella and Alexander in 2017.

George often speaks highly of Amal and the work she is doing; she has represented victims of the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, as well as worked alongside colleagues on a task force providing legal advice to Ukraine after the invasion by Russia in 2022.

“My wife’s the only person to have ever put ISIS on trial and won,” George told audiences at Venice, declaring: “She’s a badass, and she gets the job done.”

“Amal’s taken some very difficult stands over the years, and we’ve had to face some pretty heavy criticism based on that,” he added

Together, Amal and George launched the Clooney Foundation for Justice, which fights for human rights and justice globally, ensuring accountability and support for victims. They hold the star-studded Albie Awards yearly, celebrating global human rights defenders and brave individuals who risk their lives for justice.
