Here are some additional (and better-quality) photos of Amal and George Clooney at the Tokyo premiere of Tomorrowland yesterday. As I said in Monday’s post, Amal wore Maison Margiela by John Galliano. Galliano did what he could with yellow satin, but many people absolutely loathed this look. I have mixed feelings about Amal as some kind of “new style icon” – just because she wears Galliano and got the ring from George Clooney, doesn’t make her an iconic style figure. She’s not actually Carolyn Bessette, even though the Clooneys have been trying to mimic a “modern Camelot” feel for the better part of a year.
But as always, many prominent fashion people disagree with me. Amal is the second coming of Coco Chanel and must be treated as such. So would it really be so shocking to learn that Amal is hellbent on getting her own Vogue cover?
Amal Clooney wants to appear on the cover of American Vogue. The British human rights lawyer, whose husband George Clooney is close friends with the fashion bible’s editor Anna Wintour, has reportedly set her sights on gracing the cover of the magazine.
A source close to the 37-year-old beauty told Life & Style Weekly: “One of Amal’s great goals is to land the cover of Vogue.
“Amal considers herself the world’s most glamorous attorney and is obsessed with fame and fashion. Amal thinks nothing of going on $20,000 shopping sprees at high-end department stores and designer boutiques.”
She was also recently spotted having dinner with Anna at Lambs Club in New York City, sparking rumours the cover is already in the works. The insider added: “Amal thought she’d died and gone to heaven.”

First off, I would rather see Amal on the cover of Vogue rather than another Blake Lively cover. Anna Wintour does take an occasional risk with cover subjects, although I think it’s far more likely that Amal would simply get a large feature in a future Vogue issue and not the cover. As for Amal believing that she’s “the world’s most glamorous attorney” and how much money she’s been spending on clothes… I kind of believe that. Just let the Alamooney wash all over you.
