By George! Amal's £168,000 pregnant wardrobe: The series of designer ensembles that show comfort (and price) are no object to Mrs Clooney
Six months pregnant and carrying twins, elegant Amal Clooney could be forgiven for choosing comfort over fashion.
But it seems that the human rights lawyer is taking impending motherhood in her very stylish stride — not to mention in five-inch heels.
Since announcing her pregnancy last month, the 39-year-old wife of Hollywood star George has dressed her growing bump in a series of sophisticated designer ensembles.
Without an elasticated waistband or billowing dress in sight, comfort clearly isn’t a huge concern — and neither is price.
While most expectant mothers might favour cheap maternity wear (after all, it can only be worn for a few months at most), Mrs Clooney has already stepped out in tens of thousands of pounds worth of designer gear, much of which is unlikely to fit her slender frame after the babies have been born.
From an embellished coat by Valentino for £5,000 to a £120,000 Atelier Versace red-carpet gown, style editor DINAH VAN TULLEKEN reveals the secrets of Amal’s £168,135 pregnancy wardrobe...
At the Cesar film festival in Paris with George, Amal chose this £120,000 Atelier Versace gown, finished magnificently with layered ombre feathers
Amal looks relaxed and elegant in this softly fitting velvet dress (£1,400), hand-stitched pink cashmere coat (£3,060) and matching bag (£2,010), all from Bottega Veneta — although did she really need a bag to match a dress that she might wear for only a very short time? She also donned another pair of five-inch heeled court shoes, this time from Prada (£600). Total: £7,070
For a major speech to the United Nations, Amal’s back to her usual tailored workwear in a black vintage Christian Dior skirt suit by Yves St Laurent, £3,000 from William Vintage, London, with a cropped jacket that sits elegantly above her neat bump. The heels are £780 from Salvatore Ferragamo. Total: £3,780
George and Amal have announced that they’re expecting twins — but she doesn’t seem comfortable with the world seeing her bump, hiding it under a red Stella McCartney coat (£1,995). Never normally pictured without heels, she’s also picked up some trendy biker boots, £750. Total: £2,745
Yet another Sixties-inspired silhouette which doesn’t cling to her bump, Amal’s yellow dress and coat are by Bottega Veneta at a cost of around £3,000. Oversized shades and a ladylike tote completed a classic look
Still travelling in style, but Amal opted for something a little comfier this weekend in a cosy, loose-fitting cashmere coat by Akris, priced at £3,805. She paired it with sensible flat Jimmy Choo boots at £850 and a simple jumper and trousers. Total: £4,655
Keeping a low profile comes at a price. Around four months pregnant but not ready to go public with her news, Amal looked effortlessly casual in an understated cream jumper from Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini (£455) and grey jeans from Frame (£235). She added low-heeled shoe-box fresh Penelope Chilvers tan tasselled boots (£475). Total: £1,165
Still keeping mum, Amal attempted to quash pregnancy rumours when she stepped off a flight in £880 Helmut Lang skinny leather trousers. The clue was in her loose Alberta Ferretti sweatshirt (£390) and Adam Lippes coat (£2,200). She finished the look with £450 floral Stella McCartney boots. Total: £3,920
She hadn’t yet announced her pregnancy — but the usually tailored-to-perfection Amal raised eyebrows when she stepped out with George in this unstructured floral silk Dolce & Gabbana dress with black trim. Total: £1,500
It’s a far cry from her usual figure-hugging favourites, but looser Sixties styles like this one are fast becoming Amal’s go-to look. This monochrome Pierre Cardin-style shift dress and matching swing coat with geometric print detail date back to 1966. Mrs Clooney picked it up from William Vintage, London, where pieces like this sell for around £3,000
An eye-catching look fresh from Valentino’s 2017/2018 pre-autumn catwalk. Busy prints on the £2,000 dress and embellished jacket, £5,000, disguise Amal’s expanding waistline. She added £2,500 leather boots from the same design house. Total: £9,500
What a fantastic outfit for a date night in Paris! Combining faux fur stripes and an intricate floral print, you would never guess there are two rapidly growing babies beneath it. But it is an expensive way to style out a bump — her Giambattista Valli mini-dress will set you back a whopping £7,800
