Amal Clooney Opens Venice Film Festival in Tom Ford

The summer comes to an end with the Venice Film Festival, and Amal Clooney has arrived in the Italian city with her husband, George Clooney ahead of the festival’s opening ceremony. She stepped out in a dark olive-green Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann look.

Her outfit featured a low scoop-neck satin tank top and matching mini shorts, finished with a single-breasted blazer of the same shade. She kept the accessories simple with pointed-toe heels, a grey suede Tom Ford bag and oversized sunglasses.

Meanwhile, George also kept things casual for their arrival, wearing a dark polo shirt with cream trousers and a matching belt. George is also set to receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement during the opening ceremony, with Laura Dern presenting the honor.

Over the years, the Clooneys have regularly attended the Venice Film Festival, often arriving together. Amal, in particular, has used her appearances at the festival to show her love for vintage fashion. Last year, she wore a vintage fuchsia Jean-Louis Scherrer gown from the mid-1990s to the premiere of George’s film Jay Kelly, while in 2024, she chose a butter-yellow Versace gown for another festival appearance. Her red-carpet wardrobe has also included pieces from other major fashion houses, including Dior and Alexander McQueen.
