No-one does effortless sophistication like Amal Clooney – her emerald green dress and cream trench are this season's must-haves

Amal Clooney.

It doesn't matter what she wears, Amal Clooney is the epitome of elegance and sophistication. But this look, which pulls together some wardrobe basics in the most beautiful way, has got to be our favourite for this season.

Stepping out in New York at the end of last year, Amal wowed in an emerald green midi dress, classic beige trench and snake print heels. Separate these three pieces and you have some really lovely elevated every day wear, but Amal has a talent for putting them together to create something even more special.

Amal's sleeveless green midi dress has the most flattering cut, fitted at the top, cinched in at the waist and a flowing skirt to her calves. And forget Burberry trench coats, Amal layered a luxurious beige double breasted trench coat over the top, the neutral colour really making the green of her dress pop. She completed the look with a black leather handbag and minimal jewellery. It's the most chic but comfortable outfit for this season, and one we are desperate to recreate.

Shop Amal's style


When it comes to creating a winter capsule wardrobe, Amal showcases four staples right here. The midi dress offers extra coverage in the colder months, and her sleeveless version means she can stay cool but also layer up when the temperature drops.

A classic black handbag is the perfect accessory here, as are her beautiful but subtle earrings. The snake print heels are a design we expect to see much more of in the coming months. With leopard print a trend that shows no signs of slowing down, we fully anticipate snake print to follow in its footsteps when it comes to popularity.

While Amal's look may seem suited to daytime or work wear, we're very much channeling this look for our Christmas party outfit ideas – and can't wait to start pulling this timeless style together.
