At this point, I think it’s safe to say Amal Clooney is George Clooney’s best accessory. The power couple turned heads at the New York Film Festival premiere of George’s latest movie, Jay Kelly, directed by Noah Baumbach.
George looked as classic as ever in a midnight blue suit, crisp white dress shirt, and black dress shoes. But it was Amal who stole the spotlight the moment she arrived. She stepped out in a red velvet Oscar de la Renta mini dress that was nothing short of a showstopper, paired with gold Gianvito Rossi pumps that gleamed under the lights.

The film, which made its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in August, follows Jay Kelly (George Clooney) and his longtime manager, Ron Sukenick (Adam Sandler), as they travel across Europe, reflecting on the choices that have shaped their lives and careers.
Let’s take a closer look at the details of Amal’s ensemble.
Amal Clooney’s Red Velvet & Floral Oscar de la Renta Statement
Amal Clooney looked fresh and blooming in her avant-garde crimson mini dress straight from Oscar de la Renta’s Fall/Winter 2025 Ready-to-Wear runway. And honestly, I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
The mini cocktail dress featured a fitted, ruched velvet bodice in deep crimson that gave the look a rich, perfectly autumnal feel. The plush velvet brought richness and depth to the dress, while the delicate ruching made the fit even more flattering. A hidden zip at the back kept the silhouette clean, allowing the bodice to sculpt Amal’s frame with quiet sophistication.

The bodice then bloomed into a bouquet of oversized 3D peony appliques in the same rich red color, each having a yellow center that added striking contrast. The design felt romantic and feminine, yet still bold and avant-garde.
The textural contrast between the sleek velvet bodice and the dramatic floral skirt gave the dress a perfect balance, making it both delicate and striking. It was timeless yet still looking modern, and with such detail and craftsmanship, it’s no surprise it retails for $12,590 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
Cartier Jewels and Glam Beauty Accents Complete the Look
Amal elevated her look with her styling choices. She wore her dark brown tresses in gorgeous waves, with one side cascading over one shoulder and the other tucked behind her ear to reveal her stunning $28,400 Cartier Panthere de Cartier chandelier earrings.
They’re made of 18k yellow gold, each set with 34 brilliant-cut diamonds, Tsavorite garnet eyes, and an onyx nose. A chunky diamond and gemstone bracelet sparkled on her wrist, adding just the right amount of shine to the look.
Her makeup complemented the ensemble. She wore maroon smoky eyeshadow and heavy mascara to highlight her brown eyes, while a nude lip added a hint of understated sensuality.
While she could have fully embraced the fall vibe with black tights, Amal instead opted for bare legs, which kept the look alluring and romantic.
