2018 Met Gala Co-Host Amal Clooney Hits the Red Carpet – in Pants! – Alongside Husband George

She’s a renowned lawyer, a Columbia professor, new mom of twins, Vogue cover star and now, officially a Met Gala co-host.

Amal Clooney hit the Met steps alongside husband George, wearing a dramatic metallic floral-print corset dress (with a skirt so large that George reportedly joked on the red carpet that the pair’s newborn twins were “hiding underneath”) and navy pants designed by Richard Quinn, as well as large spiky statement earrings. Husband George chose a traditional black tuxedo, allowing his wife to take center stage.

This year, her appearance is even more exciting than usual, as Vogue editor in chief and Condé Nast artistic director Anna Wintour named Amal co-host for this year’s Costume Institute benefit gala, themed “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” along with Rihanna and Donatella Versace.

The couple attended the event together once before, in 2015, when the theme was “China: Through The Looking Glass.” Amal wore a dramatic red ruffle gown by John Galliano for Maison Margiela alongside her new husband (they were married in Italy in September 2014.)

To coincide with this year’s Gala, the human-rights attorney landed the May cover of Vogue (her first), and she brought the magazine into her home for the occasion.

“I hate the idea that you somehow, as a human being, have to be put in a box,” Clooney told the magazine. “There’s no reason why lawyers can’t be fun—or actresses can’t be serious.”

Clooney also spoke about her role as a visiting professor at Columbia Law School in the issue.

“This is a time when the importance of human rights and the power of young people as agents of social change have never been clearer,” she explained. “I look forward to meeting the next generation of legal thinkers and human rights leaders on campus this spring.”

And in addition to inspiring Columbia’s law students, Clooney is also inspiring the residents of N.Y.C. to step up their style game, as she’s been spotted in one amazing outfit after another. The couple recently stepped out for a dinner date at French restaurant Raoul’s, with Amal wearing a floral fur coat and $2,200 Alexander Wang leather-and-denim hybrid pants, and George opting for a coordinating denim-and-black ensemble.
