The human rights lawyer’s signature brunette locks were transformed with subtle blonde highlights that added dimension and warmth to her hair.

The blonde highlights, which were delicately woven throughout her hair, added a sun-kissed glow that perfectly complemented her golden gown and bronzed skin. The result was a look that was both timeless and fresh, proving once again that Amal is not only a powerhouse in the courtroom but also a style icon on the red carpet.

As George Clooney looked sharp in his classic tuxedo, it was abundantly clear that the Clooneys are the world's ultimate power couple—captivating audiences not just with their humanitarian accomplishments but with their undeniable style. And this time, it was the show-stopping hair that took centre stage, leaving us eager to be inspired by what she’ll do next.
Amal has been gradually lightening her hair for a while now, embracing a more luminous look with each red carpet appearance. Last year, she unveiled stunning 'Nutella Highlights' that perfectly captured the essence of autumn 2023’s brown colour obsession. These rich, warm tones are incredibly versatile, beautifully complementing a wide range of skin tones and hair hues.
"Amal has kept her natural base at her roots and throughout her hair to give a seamless finish. As such it's a look that can be achieved by all women, even with different shades of brown hair," acclaimed colourist Limoz Logli told H! Fashion. He adds, “Remember, Amal’s chic luxury look is enhanced by the health of her hair, so keep up with treatments and think about the long-term health of your hair.”
