Amal Clooney Radiates Timeless Italian Glamour at Venice Film Festival

The Venice Film Festival has long been a bastion of old-world elegance, and Amal Clooney's appearance on the red carpet at a Cartier event this year was no exception. Accompanied by her husband, acclaimed actor George Clooney, Amal's stunning look was the result of a collaborative effort between the human rights lawyer and renowned hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos, who shared the behind-the-scenes details exclusively with Vogue.

Channeling the Timeless Allure of Italian Cinema Icons

Achieving the Classic Italian Look

Giannetos' approach to Amal's hair and makeup was inspired by the timeless elegance of silver screen legends like Sophia Loren. "We wanted to give her a classic Italian look," he reveals, "and I couldn't think of better inspiration than Sophia Loren." The process began even before Amal arrived on the Lido, with Giannetos using L'Oreal Paris Le Color Gloss in Honey Blonde to add gorgeous caramel highlights to her tresses. He then applied the Garnier Fructis Hair Filler Serum to keep her hair glossy and full, setting the stage for a show-stopping blowout.

Sophisticated Makeup Inspired by Italian Glamour

For Amal's makeup, Giannetos insisted on using only products from Charlotte Tilbury's renowned line. The result was a radiant, bronzy look that perfectly complemented her Italian-inspired ensemble. "The bronzy shadows and super-long lashes made the look," Giannetos shares, "and I used a few coats of the Exagger-eyes Volumizing and Curling Mascara to pull it off." To complete the glamorous appearance, Amal wore a swipe of Hot Lips in the shade Super Cindy, a nod to another iconic beauty, Cindy Crawford.

The Finishing Touch: A Stunning Designer Dress

Amal's breathtaking look was completed by a dress from American designer Bach Mai, which seamlessly blended the timeless elegance of Italian style with a modern sensibility. As the Italians say, "Amore" – and Amal Clooney's appearance at the Venice Film Festival was a true embodiment of that sentiment, radiating the irresistible charm and glamour that have made the festival a beloved institution for decades.
