I don't get hair envy very often, but when I do, most of the time it's because I've just seen another photo of Amal Clooney looking like luxury personified. Today, for instance, the human rights lawyer was spotted out in Italy with her husband George, and while most people might focus on her outfit, I couldn't stop myself from swooning over her rich girl curls.
The Clooneys are in Italy for the 82nd Venice International Film Festival. During their arrival on Aug. 26, Amal was spotted wearing a butter yellow midi dress with a halter neck and a wide belt buckle. She paired the look with white slingback pumps, and if it wasn't already giving the epitome of luxury, her brunette hair was blown out and styled in very soft waves that gave the overall look a chic, carefree vibe.
Clooney's hair is a dark brown color, but she's had honey blonde highlights ever since she appeared at Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Dark hair colors may not be the first thing you think of when you think of "rich girl hair"—which is essentially just full, bouncy hair that's cut and styled in a carefree way—but hair experts would beg to differ. Celebrity hairstylist Temur Hamilton, for example, previously told MC that brunette hair "has a classic and sophisticated appeal that never goes out of style," adding that darker colors still tend to look "rich and luxurious" while being lower maintenance than blonde or other colors.
