Amal Clooney's Croc-Embossed Thigh-High Boots Are About to Cause a Stir

If you haven't noticed, we're big fans of Amal Clooney here at Who What Wear. I'd be happy to wax poetic about her important humanitarian work, but we happen to be a fashion website, so I'll focus on her clothes for now. Clooney was just photographed leaving the new Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck, in which her husband, George, makes his theater debut. To support him, she wore a Giambattista Valli leopard coat over a simple shift dress. It was her shoes, however, that commanded my attention.
Clooney's croc-embossed leather thigh-high boots are about to get fashion people talking worldwide. You might think such a daring trend would be hard to pull off, but she made it look easy as pie. Even though the first day of spring is a mere six days away, I'll be thinking of her boots for the foreseeable future. Scroll down to see her new outfit and shop a selection of similar boots.
