Amal Clooney's closet is full of inspiration for any type of girl. Whether you're the boho type or a business lady, there's no end to the outfit ideas this woman offers. Amal maintains a busy schedule — she's a human rights lawyer and activist, a mom of two, and she makes time to support her husband's Hollywood career — so how does she take her wardrobe from work to play?

Well, when Amal parties, she goes all out. Her rule for ritzy occasion dressing is simply this: opt for high-shine and regal-like glamour, taking all box clutches and statement earrings into consideration.
