Amal Clooney in Alberti Ferretti & Gucci in NYC: retro ’70s fabulous or dated?

Author: | Filed under: Celebrities

Here are some photos of Amal Clooney out and about in NYC with her parents on Friday. She took them to see the hit musical Hamilton, the same musical that Madonna rudely interrupted with her texting and diva ‘tude. I’m guessing that Amal and her parents did not text during the show – it’s supposed to be one of the best musicals ever, a true hip-hop-opera about Alexander Hamilton. Amal’s parents and her sister Tala have been visiting her in NYC for much of the past week – George Clooney even took the whole Alamuddin family out to dinner one night.

As for Amal’s look here, once again, she’s stylin’. The white dress is Alberta Ferretti. The brown suede coat is Gucci – I once had a coat a lot like this, same shade of brown, also with a supple suede, only mine came from a thrift store and it ended at my hips. I miss that coat. I don’t know what happened to it. Amal’s purse is from Sarah’s Bag, a Lebanese designer. That’s nice, that she throws some support to designers from her home country.

Do you guys think that George Clooney picked out this ensemble for Amal? That’s what Us Weekly’s sources said this week, that George helps Amal choose all of her designer clothing. Now that I’ve had some time to reflect on it, I kind of think it makes sense. George’s sensibilities are very 1970s, post-Camelot, when Jackie Kennedy was Jackie Onassis. And if George is picking out Amal’s clothes, that might explain why she’s been doing so many Jackie O looks in New York.

Oh, and some people wonder if Amal and George will come to tonight’s Met Gala. They aren’t on the list as far as I’ve seen, but I am hoping they come. It’s arguably the biggest social event in New York every year. How could they not go?
