Amal Clooney Evokes Elizabeth Taylor's 'Cleopatra'

The archival fall 2007 gown was previously worn by Cameron Diaz and later sold for $114,000 at Sotheby’s, sources said.

  • On Monday, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney attended the King's Trust 50th Anniversary Celebration at London's Royal Albert Hall in a gold sequined Alexander McQueen gown, arriving alongside husband George Clooney.
  • The archival garment comes from Lee Alexander McQueen's "In Memory of Elizabeth Howe" fall 2007 collection, which honored the designer's ancestors involved in the Salem witch trials; Cameron Diaz wore it to a 2007 Tokyo premiere.
  • Clooney styled the cap-sleeve, V-neck dress with pointy-toe pumps, a bracelet, earrings, and a matching metallic clutch, featuring intricate gold sequins arranged in a leaf-like column silhouette.
  • Founded by King Charles III in 1976, the King's Trust supports young people ages 11 to 30 across Britain and globally to build confidence and gain employment training.
  • Actress Lily Collins also arrived in a gold Carolina Herrera gown, reflecting a red-carpet trend toward metallic fashion and creating what media described as a "gold gown battle" on the Royal Albert Hall staircase.
