Amal Clooney always makes a splash on the red carpet, but her after-party looks might just top them. The human rights barrister and wife of the Jay Kelly actor, George Clooney , reminded us of that very fact in 2022 as she stepped out in London.
Often, the red carpet looks for a movie premiere or awards ceremony takes all the limelight, but Amal proved the power of a great party dress when she was seen leaving her hotel ahead of the afterparty at 180 Strand for the Trouble in Paradise London premiere on 7 September 2022.
