Amal Clooney Just Brought Back This Controversial Shoe Trend |Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing

published 28 June 2025

Seemingly half of Hollywood has decamped to Italy for the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, but George and Amal Clooney were not among the A-list guests. (If you remember, theirs was the original high-profile Venice wedding way back in 2014!) Instead, the stylish couple attended a red carpet event in London in support of King Charles's charity, The King's Trust. For the occasion, held at the Royal Festival Hall, Amal wore a custom dress by British brand 16Arlington.

The unique halter neckline and thigh-high slit on Amal's dress turned heads, but my attention was focused on her footwear choice. Amal wore pointed-toe pumps that featured clear PVC side panels. In my opinion, PVC pumps peaked in popularity in 2012 and have steadily declined since then, but Amal just convinced me that I wouldn't hate to see the trend come back. Scroll down to see her newest outfit.
