Amal Clooney Approves of Suede for Summer—As Long As It’s Vintage Mugler

The Story

Earlier this year, Amal Clooney teased her annual European vacation wardrobe when she declared it yet another Pucci Girl Summer, ringing in George’s 65th birthday in Saint-Tropez with a spring 2026 runway look. But now, on the shores of Capri, Clooney has returned to form in a piece of prized vintage.

In years past, the barrister has spent a trip to Saint-Tropez decked out in vintage neon floral Versace and worn a multi-patterned John Galliano-era Dior slip for dinner in Lake Como. But for her jaunt to Capri, she’s leaning into a 1970s sensibility in colorful vintage Mugler.

Today, for a trip to Villa Bragaglia, Clooney donned a two-piece set—a criss-crossing halter top with a fringed hem and a matching fringed skirt—made of strips of brown, cantaloupe, and teal suede. She accessorized with a cutout brown leather Aquazzura bag, a pair of strappy metallic gold wedges, and her signature oversized sunglasses.

The retro look fits right in with the barrister and humanitarian’s recent sartorial direction, combining her recent, well-documented love of fringe with her passion for vintage. It seems that, while her style is evolving, Amal Clooney is always going to bring archival fashion with her.
