Amal Clooney Shows Off ‘Much Shorter’ Hair Inspired by Two A-list Women

In addition to the stunning gold Gucci dress that Amal Clooney wore during the fifth edition of The Albies, the human rights lawyer also included a major haircut in her look.

On October 9, Amal and her husband George Clooney hit the red carpet for the event held at the Natural History Museum in London and organized by the Clooney Foundation for Justice. Her glossy brown hair was styled by longtime hairstylist and, more recently, makeup artist, Dimitris Giannetos, who said Vogue he used Sophia Loren and Kate Moss as inspiration for Amal’s hair.

The Albies celebrates people fighting for justice and human rights around the world, and one of this year’s sponsors was Gucci, who dressed Amal in a sculptural, off-the-shoulder custom dress covered in shimmering gold sequins and featuring floor-length fringe.

“I worked with Amal and the Gucci team to create Amal’s look,” Giannetos said. “Demna’s inspiration was an old Hollywood movie star, same vibe as Sophia Loren.”

Before the event, “I cut her hair a lot shorter now, with lots of layers, movement, shaved, wispy layers and some summer highlights,” he added. “So I gave this classic inspiration a modern twist: soft, effortless waves with lots of texture. Glamorous, but still relaxed.” His mood board, he continued, was “A combo of Sophia Loren and Kate Moss. »

In addition to Amal’s side-swept waves, Giannetos kept her makeup “bright, with shimmering gold tones to complement her dress,” he said. Speaking of Amal’s custom Gucci creation, she added metallic gold pointy-toe pumps, an equally sparkling clutch and diamond drop earrings. George also wore a tailored black suit from Gucci.

“This year’s Albie honorees embody the values ​​at the heart of our foundation,” the Clooneys said in a statement (per WWD). “Through these awards, we want them – and everyone who advocates for justice around the world – to know that the world is watching and that they are not alone. » Albies are named after Judge Albie Sachs, a hero of the anti-apartheid movement who fought for equality in South Africa.

Other high-profile attendees at the event included Donatella Versace, Brad Pitt, Emily Ratajkowski and Laura Dern, but it was impossible to take your eyes off the Clooneys. The couple, married since 2014 and parents of twins Alexander and Ella, aged 9, said People that they feel “very lucky” to have found each other.

“If you pick the most amazing person, then everything goes smoothly from there,” Amal said when asked what the secret to their longtime partnership was. George added as his wife said: “She looked at me – she was talking about herself, of course.”

When the actor was asked what he liked most about Amal, he kindly replied, “It’s a longer and longer show.”
