Social Media Says Amal Clooney’s Recent ‘Glitzy’ Date Night Dress Looks ‘Dated’: ‘Who Dresses Like This For Dinner?’

Amal Clooney is known for her impeccable fashion sense, but her latest dinner look had fans divided, with some calling it dated and overly flashy.

While in Lake Como, Italy, the renowned human rights lawyer stepped out with husband George Clooney wearing a striking one-shoulder silver dress by Badgley Mischka. The gown was adorned with all-over sequins and featured a fringe hemline that added extra drama to the ensemble. She completed the look with silver ankle-strap heels and a coordinating clutch and styled her voluminous hair in a classic side part.

Amal was seen holding onto George’s arm—who kept things sleek in a navy suit with a black collared shirt—as the couple arrived in style via water taxi to their favorite local hotspot, the Grand Hotel Tremezzo.

Fans on social media were surprisingly not fond of her dress, with many calling it dated and too over-the-top for dinner.

“Does she ever just wear jeans and a T-shirt to dinner… Who dresses like this for dinner?” asked one person. Another said, “She’s starting to look dated. This is not the sort of outfit one wears for dinner while on holiday. Something more casual. A pretty summer dress. Cigarette pants or jeans and a nice blouse… I’m certain she would stand out like a sore thumb in the dress she’s wearing. It’s a glitzy cocktail dress for the red carpet, not an Italian restaurant. Don’t ask stupid questions!”

Someone else wrote, “She’s always looked dated, I think, very lovely but never stylish or fashionable.”

However, many fans defended her ensemble, citing that the outfit is perfect for the location in Lake Como.

“If you’ve ever been to Italy, France, Spain, Ireland, or the UK, and we’re going to a well-regarded restaurant for a stunning meal, we dress—oh, we dress up—and enjoy it! Jeans and T-shirts are for the pub or the BBQ,” said one person. “Even if she went for a backyard BBQ and wanted to dress in this dress, what’s the problem? There are so many more questions to discuss in the world than what Amal is wearing for dinner. Is it too fancy?” asked one fan.

“We have dined at that restaurant. She is dressed perfectly,” claimed one user.

But the mother of two continued to bring high glamour to her Lake Como evenings. On Sunday night, she turned heads once again in a stunning Giambattista Valli gown while dining out with friends and the actor. The elegant dress featured twenties-inspired fringe detailing and off-the-shoulder sleeves, creating a romantic, vintage-inspired silhouette.

As she arrived, Amal was seen graciously accepting a bouquet of flowers. Her husband, George Clooney, looked equally polished in a gray tuxedo. The tiered dress swayed effortlessly as she made her way inside, proving once again that Amal will go all out not just on the red carpet but even for dinner.
