New York is the place to be right now. Between the King and Queen's state visit and the build-up to Met Gala Monday, there are so many glamorous moments not to be missed!

The 51st Chaplin Award Gala honoured George Clooney earlier this week, so of course, Amal Clooney was there to support her husband. We love an Amal red carpet moment, and this unexpected look did not disappoint.

How to accessorize

Magenta is a very chic option if you're wondering what to wear to a wedding this summer, as you're unlikely to clash with the bridesmaids. Keep accessories simple à la  Amal to allow the dress to do all the talking, or alternatively, it's the perfect way to introduce a pop of colour to reliable old favourite formulas like jeans and a blazer.
