Amal Clooney in a Barbie outfit

When it's time to shine, Amal Clooney knows how.

Last night in Los Angeles at the AFI Life Achievement Gala, the human rights lawyer paid tribute to her husband George Clooney by taking the stage at the Dolby Theater to address an audience of her husband's Hollywood co-stars. This touching moment was made even more special by the choice of Amal. The girl was wearing an original ensemble from Prada. The charming silhouette dress has become a favorite for the star. And the rather unusual cut of the gabardine dress opened up a miniskirt peeking through the side slits that showed off her long legs. Embellished with matte gold beads and sequins, this pale pink glitter was feminine, pairing glitter embellishment and a Barbie-esque color palette.

In awkward hands, the Prada outfit could easily be sappy, but Amal's level-headed sense of style added more elegance. Well, drop earrings, lips with a hint of plum, and a hairstyle with romantic curls - produced elegant glamour.
