Amal Clooney is in New York City this weekend to attend the United Nations General Assembly. Clooney was photographed in a stunning red dress and nude shoes on her way to a UN event yesterday.

Clooney kept her accessories low-key, letting her red Oscar de la Renta caped dress take centerstage in the street style photos paparazzi snapped while she was en route to the UN.

On Friday, the celebrated human rights lawyer attended Press Behind Bars: Undermining Justice and Democracy, an event for the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Clooney called the process a "sham trial" and called on Myanmar's leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, to pardon the journalists.

"[Aung San Suu Kyi] knows that mass murder is not a state secret and that exposing it doesn’t turn a journalist into a spy," Clooney said. "She is the Nobel Peace Prize winner whose name was whispered in the halls of St. Hugh’s College, Oxford, where she and I both studied. When I was a student, she was a hero to me, as she has been to so many human rights advocates around the world and to so many of the 50 million people in Myanmar, whose lives she promised to change."

Clooney continued with a direct call for Suu Kyi to take action.

"Aung San Suu Kyi knows better than anyone what it is like to be a political prisoner in Myanmar. She has slept in a cell at the prison where Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo now sleep," Clooney said. "But today, she holds the key…History will judge her on her response."

I can’t help but feel Amal is missing a trick here.... she is like it or not an INFLUENCER....

But there is a problem, a lack of balance between work wear and business....A problem a good deal of women will agree with....( Amal’s is just more radical)...

Right now if she were to take those professional dresses and coats and put an Amal off duty spin on it.... she might just become the new Vicky Beckham.....

All she needs is a brilliant silent collaboration and a tiny first collection.... leave them wanting more. Samantha Cameron tried it, but she did not have the perfect shadow.....or the zeitgeist of the moment....

Now is the time.... fashion waits for no one....

If you like I will graphic what I mean...

A fashion influencer?

Lol I don't think Amal wants to be a Vicky Beckham , she has her job no need to do anything else. 

I think she influences women who have to dress more corporate they like how professional she looks.

Of course - and it's to her advantage because more and more women (and men) will pay attention to all the important world issues she deals with - and sometimes when she's wearing second hand clothes!


It's interesting that she and Stella
McCartney are friends given that the latter is designing and making environmentally friendly clothes
