Amal Clooney and Duchess of Cambridge twin in kooky Alexander McQueen dress
Great minds think alike, which explains why Amal Clooney and the Duchess of Cambridge are on the same wavelength when it comes to clothes — and perfect husbands.
You may remember that in July we pointed out the bold dress the Duchess of Cambridge wore to the Wimbledon Men’s Final of the Wimbledon tennis championships; it was a deceiving Alexander McQueen number from the Obsession collection.
At first glance, it looks similar to what she normally wears — a casual dress with a girlish pattern; however, upon closer inspection, we realized it’s covered in butterflies, eyes, lips, lipstick tubes and the designer’s signature skulls.
A bit badass for a royal, but we dug it.
Now, another highly regarded Brit is rocking a similar style. George Clooney’s wife, a barrister, wore an Alexander McQueen dress in a different silhouette but with the same pattern to a Leaders’ Summit on Refugees at the U.N. General Assembly Tuesday.
Like the Duchess’s, Clooney’s silk dress was covered in colorful skulls, eyes, birds and cameras against an ivory background. While those participating in the roundtable — CEOs, President Obama and her actor husband — probably didn’t notice the subtle pattern, we would have, and it would have told us that this woman means business. She paired the dress with equally fierce red pumps.
It’s not the first pattern we’d pick for a duchess or high-profile attorney, but they owned these outfits, proving that professional style doesn’t always need to be so buttoned up.
