Amal Clooney seems to enjoy holidaying so much that you half-imagine she’d personally carry the Elgin Marbles – the repatriation of which she once advised the Greek government on – back to the Parthenon herself. Perhaps a trite thing to write, but is it really impossible to be both the world’s most famous human rights barrister and enthusiast for Lake Como, Venice, the Riviera? Those contradictions are precisely what make Clooney such a singularly aspirational figure within pop culture: that she can command a courtroom and the starboard side of a ship with equal ease. One does not cancel out the other. Which is why the sight of Clooney stepping onto a sun-drenched jetty has become its own genre of celebrity imagery. Consider this week’s contribution: Amal, practically skipping, arm in arm with husband George, along a marina in Saint-Tropez, dressed in full-look Pucci. You see it, you want it.
With that in mind, here’s how to holiday in true Amal Clooney style.

Last summer saw the Pucci renaissance in full swing: Hailey Bieber in a swirling lemon-print set in Mallorca, the house’s annual Sicily-set show drawing its usual constellation of stars. Amal Clooney is seeing it through. For her husband’s 65th birthday celebrations in Saint-Tropez, she wore look 31 from Pucci’s spring 2026 runway: a beaded tank top and ultra-miniskirt slit high at the thigh, finished with slouchy foldovers splashed in graphic print. A reminder that boots need not be reserved for Worthy Farm in summer.
