If you've admired her style for years now, you've probably noticed that the 41-year-old has 5 pieces in particular that she is never seen without. These are the items that have become building blocks for the rest of her ridiculously chic wardrobe. From the bag shape she carries to finish off all her outfits to the sunglasses she wears nonstop, keep reading to discover each of these staple pieces, how she wears each, and shop our picks.

Nude Pumps

Let's start with the most important: shoes. Clooney has a well-edited selection of footwear but consistently prioritises nude pumps over her other pairs. She's become loyal to a suede pointed-toe pair from Jimmy Choo, though affordable retailers also stock takes on the staple.

Sheath Dresses

Sheath dresses—sometimes called pencil dresses—are Clooney's signature silhouette, especially for days working at the United Nations. 

Structured Handbags

Lately, Clooney has been rotating between her Dior Bar Bag and Michael Kors Bancroft Tote, two ultra-structured shapes that add a polished finish to all her ensembles.

Midi Skirts

When she's not exhibiting her epic trouser-based outfits, Clooney opts for midi length dresses and skirts, which she effortlessly mixes with the other classics we've pointed out here.

Oversized Sunglasses

Tiny sunglasses who? Clooney proves that though eyewear trends may come and go, oversized shades will always be in style. She rotates between a few styles of cat-eye and circle sunnies from Ferragamo and Givenchy, though luckily for you, they're about to come back in style at all your favourite retailers.
