Amal Clooney has fully embraced the “more is more” approach to vacation fashion. When it comes to summer style, people usually fall into two categories. There’s the minimalist, Ibiza-inspired look—think Kate Moss or Dakota Johnson in vintage pieces, flip-flops, sheer knits, and tiny bikinis. Then there’s the bold, Euro-summer aesthetic, with Pucci prints, kitten heels, statement jewelry, and stacked espadrilles filling designer suitcases. While many celebrities and Vogue editors have been channeling the ’80s this season, Clooney is drawing inspiration from an even earlier era.

During an evening out on Lake Como with her husband, George Clooney (at Villa Passalacqua, ahead of an exclusive event for their Clooney Foundation for Justice), she paid homage to the 1920s in a flapper-style, bright white off-the-shoulder dress by Giambattista Valli. Paired with a gold clutch and her silver-haired husband, this Gatsby-on-the-lake look was another strike against quiet luxury—and a perfect addition to your Italian summer inspiration board.

The power couple is organizing an exclusive, first-of-its-kind event with 16 high-profile guests to raise funds for their foundation. The gathering will take place from August 13th to 15th at the De Santis family’s properties: the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Passalacqua in Moltrasio, and Villa Sola Cabiati—the latter recently in the spotlight for hosting Taylor Swift.

In exclusive photos from the event, the couple is welcomed by Silvio Vettorello, General Manager of the properties, who is coordinating logistics with the hotel teams under the guidance of owner Valentina De Santis. Amal Clooney is personally overseeing the details to ensure the occasion is both stylish and memorable.

The guest list remains top-secret but may include prominent business figures, close friends, and even surprise appearances from Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, or the Obama family.

The Clooneys and friends recently dined at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo and will tour the other venues in the coming days. A cocktail party is also planned at Villa Oleandra, where the couple has been vacationing with their children, Ella and Alexandre, for the past 10 days.

Clooney is no stranger to bold summer fashion. Though their European getaway started later than usual (George was finishing his Broadway run in Good Night, and Good Luck), Amal has been making the most of her vacation wardrobe. From a glittering one-shoulder Badgley Mischka dress to Versace and Stella McCartney party pieces, she’s been turning heads. Whether in Italy, the South of France, or back in New York, her style stays consistent: vintage-inspired glamour, eye-catching earrings, and elegant pumps.

While most of us won’t be sipping apéritifs on Lake Como this August, there’s no reason we can’t take style cues from Amal’s effortlessly chic vacation looks.to dress in that style.

(Note: The original phrase “to dress like it” is quite vague. This revision assumes the intended meaning is about adopting a particular fashion style. If the context was different, the rewrite might vary.)
