Amal Clooney brings a classic touch to Venice as she stands out from the crowd at the DVF Awards with a vintage blush lace dress and an overlapping tulle skirt

In a fashion landscape where shock-and-awe outfits all too often reign supreme, Amal Clooney brought a classic touch to the happenings in Venice this week.
At the DVF Awards on Thursday night, she stepped out in a vintage blush lace dress with a tulle skirt, pictured left, from Dior’s fall 2000 collection to accept an award.

Her choice of floor-length was the antithesis of the currently ubiquitous ‘naked dresses’ – but stole the show.
With a slit that showed a brief flash of her legs as she walked and the thinnest spaghetti straps that showed off her collarbones, she showed that she perfectly understands the most important lesson in fashion: that it’s just as much about what you don’t let look at what you do.
