Amal Clooney wears Kate Middleton's favourite designer to celebrate 50 years of The King's Trust

Amal Clooney 'A King's Trust 50th Anniversary Celebration' at Royal Albert Hall on May 11, 2026 in London, England. .

George and Amal Clooney were amongst the glamorous guests arriving at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Monday evening ahead of the King's Trust 50th Anniversary Celebration.

She chose a gold sequin gown by Alexander McQueen for the occasion, which is of course, the Princess of Wales' go-to designer label. It's actually a gown she was pictured in last year, so it's a clear favourite, and it's from the Autumn/Winter 2007 collection - making it a vintage piece.

Cameron Diaz wore the same dress back in 2007, and it's easy to see why this design has stood the test of time. The sequins are strategically placed to flatter, and there's just the perfect amount of a cap sleeve to be incredibly flattering on the arms.

Shop Amal's style

You can see the dress up close in all its intricate detail here. There's a split up the back so the column skirt is easy to walk in, and the V-back echoes the V-neckline at the front.

Amal kept her accessories simple, sticking to her usual styling trick: metallic heels. Her gold pointed heels picked up on the dress perfectly, but also allowed the gown to be the star of the show. She added a simple little clutch bag too, plus gold earrings which she highlighted by sweeping her voluminous hair to one side.
