Back when Amal Clooney – then Amal Almuddin – first came on the scene, any time we got photos of her, it was big news. We were so interested in analyzing her fashion, her vibe, her life and more. Nowadays, it does feel like that sh-t has settled down a bit, especially after Amal gave birth to babies Sascha and Ella (I’m really trying to make Sascha Clooney happen, btw). Amal has been in New York this week, giving guest lectures at Columbia Law.

I miss the days when we talked about Amal’s style, because her style is still so… odd. I didn’t “get” her look the other day, with the white summery skirt paired with a green leather jacket. And while this outfit makes more sense, it’s still worth noting that Amal has sort of bonkers style for a woman in her position. Amal owns conservative suits, and I know that because we’ve seen her in those mostly-Chanel suits. She must feel like those are her “lawyer uniform,” and any time she’s not lawyering, that’s when her playful side comes out. So, she wears babydoll dresses and big hats and embroidered jeans and lots of vintage. Her non-lawyer style is part Carolyn Bessette, part Jackie Kennedy and part-clown. Today’s outfit? A brown leather (vinyl?) coat by Diane Von Furstenberg. And crazy plaid pants, designer unknown right now.

So help me God… I might actually wear this though? I think the DVF coat is overkill, but the base of the crazy pants and black top is good. I love the cut of those trousers too, but I love a wide-leg or palazzo pant. Her hair is on fleek as well.
