We Should Have Guessed Amal Clooney's Mum Was Seriously Chic

When it comes to style, the apple clearly doesn't fall far from the tree for the Alamuddins. Amal Clooney's mum, Baria Alamuddin, was photographed at her daughter's New York house today looking exceptionally chic in a pink cape, grey trousers, smoking slippers and a posh top-handle bag. The Alamuddin ladies clearly like to wear their elegant wardrobes in fun and unexpected ways—remember when Amal wore mismatched shoes?
Inspired by Baria's most recent look, we decided to revisit some of Alamuddin's best outfits this year, including a laser-cut coat, bow-bedecked sneakers and a pretty pantsuit. All in all, she proves that we should definitely not be overlooking women in their 60s when it comes to outfit inspiration. Read on to see our favourite looks.

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports.
