Amal Clooney Just Wore the '90s Dress Trend You're Guaranteed to See at Weddings This Summer

Something tells me that Amal Clooney has an entire closet just for special event–worthy dresses. (When you're a high-powered attorney and married to George Clooney, there's often a need for one.) One of Clooney's dresses was on display last night in midtown NYC, where she was photographed heading to The Polo Bar after attending a performance of Good Night, and Good Luck on Broadway, starring George Clooney.
If you're someone who loves minimalist '90s trends, you'll want to see Clooney's dress, which was a maxi-length, strapless draped dress that looked like something Gwyneth Paltrow would've worn on the red carpet circa 1997. Draped dresses and strapless dresses are major 2025 dress trends, and combining the two is even better. Now that summer wedding season is here, there's a good chance that you're starting to think about what to wear to these momentous occasions, and the dress trend Clooney just wore would be a smart choice. It's elegant and cool and won't compete with the couple. (Just opt for a shade that isn't white…)
Without further ado, scroll to see Clooney's dress for yourself and shop strapless draped dresses to wear to weddings and any other special occasion on your agenda this summer.
