Amal Clooney Just Made Thigh-High Boots Look Elegant

published 7 March 2025

I'll admit it: I'm not a very adventurous dresser. I have plenty of experience writing about bold runway trends and daring celebrity outfits, but I'm less familiar with actually wearing them. If something could be described as cumbersome, tricky to style, or controversial, it's probably not for me. That said, there's one item I've sidelined in the past that I'm suddenly ready to try, thanks to Amal Clooney: thigh-high boots.

While out in New York City with her husband, George Clooney, Amal was photographed wearing a winter-appropriate gray minidress with a matching coat. Her boots, which rose halfway up her thighs, definitely took center stage (although I love her Stella McCartney handbag, too). These shoes aren't the easiest to pull off, but Amal made it look completely effortless and elegant. Would you expect anything less from her?
