Amal Clooney's dress trend is ideal for black-tie weddings

Although I personally don’t have family or friends who are fancy enough to host black-tie weddings — the last event I went to was a Halloween costume party — I understand that the dress code can be a little intimidating. If you’re currently irritated by the black-tie invitation pinned to your fridge, fret not. Amal Clooney is here to give you some excellent fashion advice when it comes to extra formal attire for wedding guests.

Today in London, Clooney attended an event celebrating the 50th anniversary of The King’s Trust at the Royal Albert Hall. (Yes, King Charles and Queen Camilla were also on hand.) Clooney looked right at home among the royals wearing an Alexander McQueen F/W 07 gold gown, but you don’t need access to designer archives to understand Clooney’s style cues. All you need to know is that a gold sequin floor-length gown is an elegant, graceful, and foolproof option for any black-tie event you have coming up. Unlike more casual fabrics like linen and cotton, you’ll never feel flimsy in sequins. Scroll down to see Clooney’s latest outfit and shop the trend for yourself.
