As one of the world's most stylish women, it wasn't easy to compile all of Amal Clooney's best fashion moments, but we've whittled it down to some of her absolute best looks from 2013 to now. 

Human rights activist, lawyer, public speak and mom, Amal Clooney is multi talented and dresses well to boot. Married to George Clooney, Amal is well-versed in glamorous red carpet looks, and her Quiet Luxury aesthetic is one that many women try to emulate. 

Never missing the mark, Amal Clooney's best event looks don't shy away from colour, print or embellishment, while Amal's work ensembles are all business, making her a great source of style inspiration. Here are some of Amal's best looks from over the years.

OK, let's be honest - can you think of a sexier couple than the Clooney's?!

While at a gala in Florence in 2015, Amal made one of her first public appearances with George (they got married in 2014 in Venice) - and stunned with a sleek, strapless Dolce & Gabbana black dress for the occasion. She also wore her hair in a deep side part, as well as red lipstick that oozed Hollywood Glamour.

A vision in red, this is clearly a colour that Amal Clooney feels confident in. The lawyer rocked a fiery red skirt suit while on business in London, pairing the skirt suit with sheer black tights and a pair of black, pointed-toe pump heels. Seriously, if only we could look this good at the office.

Although Amal is typically spotted in fashionable business attire and glamorous red carpet looks, the activist also has impeccable everyday style, as proved by this casual chic look. With a nod to Brigitte Bardot, she paired an oversized pink coat with a pair of ankle-skimming black and white checked trousers, as well as a plain black top - and finished off the look with one of the best designer bags and a pair of black, dressy flats

Look no further for camel coat outfit inspiration. This neutral shade looks gorgeous when paired with brighter colours like red and Amal has nailed the simple yet stylish feel, finished off with a smart, structured handbag. You can even shop a similar coat from John Lewis.

After seeing how good Amal Clooney looks in this dress, we want to see her in purple more often. It is a bold choice for a formal event but she really couldn't look any more chic. Combined with her cropped hairstyle, Amal looks enduringly glam.

A vision in blue, a colour not typically worn by Amal, she walked the red carpet at an event in LA with George while pregnant with twins, still looking as effortless as usual. Her blue and white dress billowed to the floor, and she wore her sweeping, black hair in her usual side part (similar to Kate Middleton's side swoop), accentuating the free-flowing nature of the elegant look.

During the 2018 Met Gala, Amal Clooney sported this floral strapless Richard Quinn gown, complete with, yes, a pair of sleek, navy blue trousers - she was one of the hosts that year, so it was only right that she showed up looking as fabulous as can be.

It's rare that Amal bares her leg, but when she does, she absolutely rocks it.
