Amal and George Clooney, one of Hollywood‘s most talked-about couples, broke the all-time record of the Venice Film Festival as George proved once again he is still Hollywood’s most dashing leading man, cutting a sharp figure in a midnight blue Giorgio Armani tuxedo. The satin lapels, the perfect tailoring, the easy confidence—it was an exclaimer of Armani’s trademark artistry.
Clooney’s Steal the Venice Spotlight
Amal, on the other hand, presented a more ambiguous impression. She explores her treasured vintage archive and chooses a Jean-Louis Scherrer gown crafted by Erik Mortensen in Autumn-Winter 1995-96. Typically she transformed archival gems into modern statements, but the fuchsia taffeta dress leaned heavily into nostalgia. With its reflective sheen, oversized skirt, and nostalgic design leaning toward an 80’s prom style. Minor details, such as the occasional rain that affected them, as seen in some images, further tempered the overall impact of the look.

It’s not the dreaded taffeta itself that’s the problem—it’s how the color and structure came together in a way that felt dated, rather than delightfully retro. Which is surprising to me, as she usually nails the balance of vintage charm and timeless refinement. Accessory-wise, she carried a Jimmy Choo Clemmie clutch and wore Aquazzura Forever More sandals.
George and Amal Clooney Captivate Venice Fans
Unsurprisingly, all eyes were on George and Amal Clooney as they arrived at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday for the premiere of Jay Kelly. Amal, 47, dazzled in a corset-style fuchsia minidress with a voluminous train that flowed on the red carpet. George, 64, looked smitten as he kissed her hand, dapper in a classic suit and bow tie. She paired the look with strappy heels and a sleek gold clutch.
