Amal Clooney Elevates the Mob Wife Trend in a Cream Fur Coat

The mob wife trend—big fur coats, purposely gaudy gold jewelry, and animal print—got a sophisticated spin courtesy of Amal Clooney.

The British barrister stepped out in London last night in a look that embraced the aesthetic while staying true to Clooney’s elegant personal style. The statement piece of the ensemble was a cream-colored shearling coat with shaggy white faux fur along the sides that was broken up by large brown buttons.

Under the coat, Clooney wore a boxy minidress in the same off-white hue, which she paired with a pair of incredible thigh-high black croc-embossed boots (a similar style is available at Khaite). The glossy, pointy, heeled shoes gave the rich monochromatic ensemble a cool edge.

Clooney wrapped up the outfit with a quilted Cabernet-red bag with a silver chain strap. She wore minimal makeup and a straight blowout, and for jewelry, opted only for her wedding band.

The human rights lawyer regularly inspires us with her fashion, whether she’s on date nights with husband George or on the red carpet. Just last month, she pulled out a perfect ’70s-esque daytime look to walk her dog in Cotignac, a village in the south of France, where she was on holiday with her movie star husband. The highlight of the outfit was a zip-up suede minidress in a warm caramel hue. Clooney styled the vintage-inspired mini with modern accessories, including black heeled booties, a sleek black iteration of Prada’s Cleo bag, and amber-tone aviator sunglasses.
