Amal Clooney Didn't Have to Choose Between a Dress or Pants at the Met Gala—She Wore Both
The host nailed it on the red carpet.
Amal Clooney arrived to the 2018 Met Gala ready to dominate the red carpet. One of the co-hosts of this year's festivities, Amal chose a bold, floral ensemble. She walked arm-in-arm with husband George Clooney while wearing a trouser-meets-dress look by Richard Quinn. The ensemble featured a metallic floral corset with a voluminous skirt. Paired with navy pants, the outfit appeared smart and sophisticated.
The unique outfit definitely got Amal noticed on the red carpet—and leave it to George to let his wife stand out. He simply rocked a plain black suit with a bow tie. Scroll to see more photos of Amal.
