Not Halter, Not Strapless: Amal Clooney Just Wore the Specific Neckline That Always Looks Elegant in Lake Como
The lawyer and activist donned an off-the-shoulder white Giambattista Valli dress to a Clooney Foundation for Justice event at Passalacqua.
There's pretty much nothing Amal Clooney could wear that wouldn't make her look elegant. She's an elegant person—no outfit's going to change that. Certain pieces she wears do enhance that quality about her, and the white gown she just wore to a Clooney Foundation for Justice event at Passalacqua in Lake Como is one of them.
Clooney, accompanied by her husband George Clooney, wore an off-the-shoulder dress by Giambattista Valli to the formal occasion, proving once and for all that off-the-shoulder silhouettes are, by far, the most glamorous and refined of all neckline options—even halter and strapless. What makes the style so elite is how it effortlessly balances sexiness and sophistication. It still shows off some skin without doing too much, making it the perfect choice when dressing up.

Clooney only added to the end-of-summer look by pairing her off-the-shoulder gown with gold strappy heels and matching accessories, including a metallic clutch, a metal bangle, and dangling earrings. Her husband's ensemble complemented hers perfectly—a light-gray single-breasted suit and a blue-and-white striped shirt with the top two buttons undone.
