Not Halter, Not Strapless: Amal Clooney Just Wore the Specific Neckline That Always Looks Elegant in Lake Como

There's pretty much nothing Amal Clooney could wear that wouldn't make her look elegant. She's an elegant person—no outfit's going to change that. But certain pieces she wears do enhance that quality about her, and the white gown she just wore to a Clooney Foundation for Justice event at Villa Passalacqua in Lake Como is one of them.

Clooney, accompanied by her husband George, wore an off-the-shoulder dress by Giambattista Valli to the formal occasion, proving once and for all that off-the-shoulder silhouettes are, by far, the most glamorous and refined of all neckline options, even halter and strapless. What makes the style so elite is how it effortlessly balances sexiness and sophistication. It still shows off some skin without doing too much, making it the perfect choice, especially when dressing up.

On Amal Clooney: Giambattista Valli dress

Clooney only added to the end-of-summer look by pairing her off-the-shoulder gown with gold, strappy heels and matching accessories, including a metallic clutch, metal bangle, and dangle earrings. Her husband's ensemble complemented hers perfectly, wearing a light-gray, single-breasted suit with a blue-and-white striped shirt with the top two buttons undone.
