George Takes Amal to Visit His Hometown in Kentucky

It's been an incredibly busy time for the Clooneys recently with their busy schedule in New York and the press tour for Tomorrowland. The couple are currently enjoying some down time with George's family in his home town Augusta in Kentucky. A local spotted George and Amal enjoying a low-key stroll and took a photo of the pair.

The young lady Susan commented via her Twitter Feed:

'George Clooney was in his (and my parents) hometown today. I run down this street every time I visit my grandpa'.

More on George's upbringing in the area from Hello!: 

'The Tomorrowland star grew up in the area attending elementary school in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky and Mason, Ohio. After his parents moved to Augusta, Kentucky, George attended Augusta High School and later tried out to play professional baseball with the Cincinnati Reds in 1977.
 He instead ended up attending Northern Kentucky University from 1979 to 1981 and majored in broadcast journalism. George briefly attended the University of Cincinnati but didn't graduate from either college.'

I love Amal's casual style, she looks so effortlessly put together in the simplest of ensembles. For her visit to Kentucky she looked stylish in skinny jeans, a white t shirt, a floral-print scarf, sandals and statement sunglasses.

George was spotted dining with family members at a local restaurant along the Ohio river and surprised a young lady who was celebrating her 25th birthday. "GEORGE CLOONEY sat at the table next to me at dinner," wrote an eyewitness along with a picture of George. "Not only that, but he and his family sang Happy Birthday to me after I ate!"

Nati from Amal Clooney Style quickly noted the dress is an Alberta Ferretti piece. The Camel Suede Fringe Dress is from the designers SS15 Collection of Bohemian treasures. "The dress features hand-woven whipstitch trim, a back keyhole, and a laser cut fringe hem". It retails for $3,125.

The couple are most likely taking the opportunity to spend quality time with George's family before the move to the Berkshire village of Sonning in England at the end of the summer. The actor revealed he and Amal are "very excited" about the move.

Have You Heard About Amal's New Stylist?

If you've been keeping up with your fashion reading you'll know Amal's latest red carpet looks were achieved with the help of a stylist.


George recently revealed in an interview during his press tour for Tomorrowland his wife's style is very much all her own:

“From the day I met her, she has the incredibly eclectic, sort of wild style,” he said. “She just has her own style, she doesn’t have a stylist or anything, she just picks clothes. She shows up, and I’m like, that’s unbelievable, she’ll tell me she’s gonna wear some dress, then I see it and I’m like, wow, that’s stunning.”

However, for her last two glamorous outings she's sought the assistance of stylist Alexis Roche, who has worked with a variety of celebrities including Marion Cotillard and Kendall Jenner, has been behind two Maison Margiela dresses designed by his partner John Galliano.

The show-stopping strapless hand-painted and embroidered silk organza Maison Margiela ‘Artisanal’ gown, custom-made especially for her by John Galliano. Amal wore it for her first Met Gala appearance.

And the divine yellow silk satin bias cut gown she donned for the Tokyo premiere of Tomorrowland.

Alexis Roche confirmed this via his Twitter account but made clear he is not her "personal stylist".

The two looks have proved so popular Vogue published a piece discussing how Amal and Maison Margiela are bringing back glamour:

'While some took the weekend to see box office smash Mad Max: Fury Road, Amal Clooney joined her husband George in Tokyo for the premiere of his latest film, Tomorrowland. In many ways the human rights attorney caused a bigger stir on the red carpet than her beau in a custom Maison Margiela dress by John Galliano.'

Since Amal was catapulted into the public eye, her individual and unique sense of style caught the eye of fashion critics and followers and we've seen her stay true to that. There's no doubt, in our view, that Amal is still sartorially making her own choices. Aside from those two Maison Margiela looks, it is understood she hasn't worked with a stylist.


I expect for such high-profile red carpet events, it's great to have a stylist on hand to add finishing touches to a look (how well coordinated did she look on both occasions).


Amal and Alexis appear to be a stellar team!

George and Amal Clooney know how to enjoy a date night in style! Accompanied by one of George's closest friends Randy Gerber and his wife supermodel Cindy Crawford, the group danced the night away at a U2 concert in Los Angeles.

The concert was held at The Forum Club in Inglewood, Los Angeles and attracted a wide number of fans. Song on the set list included hits such as With or Without You, Beautiful Day, Vertigo, City of Blinding Lights and Where The Streets Have No Name.

As the band performed their final track of the night I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, George and Amal rose to their fight and danced. TMZ shared a fantastic video which is full of very romantic moments between the couple. I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it :)



There's also a brief video of the couple leaving the party in their car.



Amal looked chic in a black cami top, jeans and layered a selection of stunning necklaces on top. Bono is a longtime friend of George and attended the wedding last year!

Is this Amal's Best Look Yet?

Amal Clooney stunned on the red carpet for the premiere of husband George's latest movie Tomorrowland.

Maison Margiela Twitter Feed

The 37 year old barrister arrived all smiles with her husband as he guided her towards the red carpet. It's been a packed time for the couple who married eight months ago, jet setting from the US back to London before making their way to Tokyo for the press tour.

Tomorrowland is already being dubbed as one of the best adventure, drama mysteries of the year. The plot is described as "Bound by a shared destiny, a teen bursting with scientific curiosity and a former boy-genius inventor embark on a mission to unearth the secrets of a place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory".


George recently admitted that the couple have vowed never to spend more than seven days apart in a bid to prioritise one another.


Amal's look for the premiere was undoubtedly one of her finest to date - a stunning bespoke bias cut silk/satin yellow dress by Maison Margiela. The gown looked like liquid gold on Amal and nobody else is bringing glamour to the table the way she is at present.


The brand confirmed this via their Twitter Feed:

A look at the back of the gown.


Amal carried the Bvlgari Cocktail Clutch Bag.  The $5,450 is described as "Gold iridescent shiny lizard skin boxy clutch with brass light pink gold plated hardware. "Serpenti Hypnotic" frame pression closure featuring snake eyes in purple jade and scales in cabochon-cut orchid calcite".

Both George and Amal wore Omega wristwatches. Amals' is a gold square pieces from 1961. We also saw Amal wear her hair partially up - a big departure for her and I thought it looked amazing.


A splendid look for Amal!
