We’re all familiar with those impeccably polished women with unwavering style. They’re never without a fresh blow out, hardly spotted in the same outfit twice and always have a stream of eye-catching accessories from jewels to shoes to handbags. We can all agree Amal Clooney is one of those women.
While always sophisticated, the human rights lawyer is anything but stuffy in the style department. In fact, she tends bold with many of her fashion choices. With an affinity for timeless silhouettes, she’s daring with color and print whether it’s via a vibrant shift dress, floral pump or embellished skirt.
As for her work wardrobe? Amal relies on a particular hero item for instant (and fashion-forward) polish: colorful handbags. From structured satchels to slouchy-sleek totes, she oscillates between frothy pastels and punchy primary hues, livening up all-white outfits or complementing equally vibrant ensembles. By opting for bags with clean lines and minimal adornment, the effect is refined as ever, but with a sartorial edge that makes every look stand out.
Here, we pulled together some of our favorite style moments from Amal in which she pulled off a colorful tote flawlessly. We also compiled an edit of five bright bags we know she’d approve of. From an under-$100 find to splurge-worthy spends, take a page out of Mrs. Clooney’s book and go bold with your bag.
