Amal Clooney Just Wore a Bridal-Worthy Gown in Lake Como

published 28 August 2024

While I'm hunched over my laptop writing this story, Amal Clooney is living her best life in Lake Como—not that I'm jealous or anything. Photographed en route to dinner with husband George Clooney, Amal wore a crochet maxi dress from Chanel's Cruise 2023 collection, which was first presented on the runway in Monaco in May 2022. The long sequined gown is positively bridal-worthy, don't you think?

The runway version was styled with chunky layered necklaces, but Amal decided to go with chandelier earrings instead. As for George, he looked sharp in a light-tan suit perfect for an end-of-summer date night. Scroll down to see their newest outfits and shop similar white crochet dresses for yourself.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
