Amal Clooney has had a busy week, we just haven’t had the photos. She was in Washington DC yesterday, doing a press conference for one of her clients – go here to read about that. She was also out to dinner with George Clooney and her parents in NYC a few days ago – go here to see those photos. She wore a bouncy McQueen ensemble which – to me – bordered on twee. As I keep saying, Amal has not repeated one single outfit the entire time she’s been in NYC. It’s more difficult than it sounds, especially when you consider that she’s getting pap’d constantly. I believe that she has access to all of the best design houses and she’s also a Duchess Kate-level shopper. But what if… Amal doesn’t have the best style? What if George Clooney has to approve her ensembles?
Amal Alamuddin doesn’t need a stylist — she has husband George Clooney! As an insider reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly, the always impeccably dressed Brit stunner relies on her spouse of seven months for fashion tips.
“George is very involved in selecting her looks,” says a source close to the actor, 53, and his wife, 37. “He’ll watch her try on clothes and will say, ‘I like that. You should get it,’ or ‘No, not that.’”
He also ensures the human rights lawyer, whom he wed in Italy in September 2014, is always camera-ready.
“He installed a runway, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and a crazy light system in their closet,” adds the source of their wardrobe in L.A.’s Studio City nabe, which houses her Dior, Oscar de la Renta, and Alexander McQueen duds. “Amal can see every single angle and tell if her outfit is see-through!”
Of course, the Columbia Law School visiting professor certainly isn’t complaining. “Amal loves it!” says the source. “She shops a lot because she needs her lawyer looks and then street clothes.”

I would argue that Amal actually has three levels of clothing: lawyer looks, street clothes and date clothes. Her lawyer looks are fine, she seems to go for nice suits by Chanel and such. Her street clothes are questionable, from her awful taste in jeans to her penchant for gaudy “casual” jewelry. Her date night clothes however… that might be her strength. So, do you believe George is “watching her try on clothes”? Eh. I think he has opinions but he probably just tells her she looks good in everything.
Incidentally, I am reminded of all of George’s former beck-and-call-girls, many of whom got access to a stylist, hair person and makeup artist as soon as they started going out with George. He does care what his “lady” looks like, but only because her style is a reflection of him, because she is his accessory. At least that’s how it was before with George’s Girls. I wonder how much the dynamic has changed with Amal?
