Brighten your style with a colorblock tote like Amal's

When it comes to personal style, Amal Clooney never misses a beat. The British barrister stepped out for lunch with her hunky hubby, George Clooney, wearing a white pleated dress and nude heels.

She punched up her neutral tones with a vibrant bag by Dolce & Gabbana in cool, pastel shades that could be spotted from a mile away.

There's nothing we don't like about the top handle tote. The structured silhouette and colorblock motif are two definite must-haves.

Amal's exact bag is no longer up for grabs but click right to get a similar one at Farfetch.

While George certainly charmed with his banter and grey-blue suit and tie-less blue shirt, Amal looked classy in a white pleated dress that put her long and lean legs on display.

She matched her attire with beige lace-up heels that made her stand tall and proud, and large-framed tinted shades.

Meanwhile, George was recently quizzed about his own political aspirations.

While George has no interest in entering politics, he praised those who choose to do so as he believes it is an extremely tough job.

He said: 'I commend people who go into public service because it's such a horrible way to get elected, it's such a horrible time while you're in office. I think people will argue over things they believed in six or eight years ago because it's not their guy saying it.'

He quipped: 'I get to wear the trousers and she gets to be the smart one; that's a fair deal, that's a fair trade. I was asked, you know, 'Is she the smart one in the family?' and I don't think anyone would argue with that, do you?

'Often times I feel like an idiot talking to my own wife. It's never good.'
