Amal Clooney was the epitome of a golden goddess on Monday evening as she stepped out with her husband, Hollywood legend George Clooney, at The King’s Trust 50th Anniversary Celebration at the Royal Albert Hall.
The human rights barrister, 48, looked incredible in an embellished gold gown featuring capped sleeves, a V-shaped neckline, and a figure-flattering straight fit that cut off just below the ankle. Her red carpet gown was paired with her signature gold pointed-toe stilettos that were showcased by the split in the back of her dress.

“Magenta is a statement shade that commands attention, and this Balenciaga dress makes a real impact through both tone and silhouette. It’s also a colour that symbolises transformation, creativity and non-conformity – a powerful message when Amal is flanked by men in black tie attire!”
