Amal and George Clooney attended the 2023 DVF Awards held today during the Venice Film Festival in Venice.

For the star-studded occasion, Amal donned Aquazzura All I Want strappy sandal heels in “Soft Gold.” Crafted of shiny leather metallic uppers, the barrister’s footwear featured a strap-heavy construction that crisscrossed overtop her toes and around her ankles, securing the style in place. Rounding out the dazzling set were 3 to 4-inch stiletto heels.

Taking an impactful approach to formal dressing, the humanitarian was outfitted in a peach gown trimmed delicately with lace. The garment was comprised of a strappy plunging bodice that transitioned into a drop waistline accented with pink satin ribbon. The skirt of Amal’s gown featured more lace trim along with a see-through tulle overlay that offered the garment volume.

For the finishing touches, the writer carried a high-shine bronzy pillbox clutch and sported a variety of gold and pearl-embellished pieces of jewelry.

Watch on FN

Amal has grown into a fashion star to watch since she became linked with George Clooney in 2013. For her red-carpet appearances, the lawyer and activist frequently wear pointed-toe pumps from brands like Gianvito Rossi, Givenchy and Jimmy Choo.

Her off-duty wardrobe is equally streamlined and chic, including Halmanera sandals and Alberta Ferretti boots. In fact, Rossi’s PVC-paneled pumps have become one of Clooney’s go-to evening styles, which she owns in multiple colorways.

The Venice Film Festival will feature international movies and cinematic shorts debuting for the new season. The 80th annual event is also taking place during the SAG-AFTRA strike, which has current interim agreements to allow U.S. actors to appear at the occasion. Aside from numerous premieres — including “Maestro,” “Priscilla” and “Ferrari” — the week will conclude with its starry amfAR Gala, featuring performances by Leona Lewis and Rita Ora.
