Amal’s sleeveless scarlet dress hugged her trim figure and reached down to the tops of her knees.

The look featured a sheer top with an opaque seam running up her chest.

The darker skirt featured delicate embroidery and knit patterns, and long red straps hung down from her hips.

Amal accessorized with a boxy clutch, and she added some additional sparkle to her ensemble with large dangling earrings.

The brunette beauty wore her long locks swept to the side so that the cascaded down one shoulder in luscious waves.

Her face was elegantly made up, and sported a splash of scarlet on her lips that perfectly matched her dress.

Both the Lebanese–British barrister and her mother were relaxing with a night on the town following Amal’s address at the United Nations on Wednesday. 

During the tense session, Clooney accused the UN of ignoring potential war crimes perpetrated by Russia amid its ongoing invasion of Ukraine during an informal meeting of the Security Council.

‘Here we are, faced with the evidence of crimes of aggression, war crimes, crimes against humanity and mounting evidence each day of the crime of genocide,’ she said during her statement, via The Hill.

She went on to describe Ukraine as a ‘slaughterhouse’ in the ‘heart of Europe,’ and she expressed concerns that evidence of alleged Russian war crimes would merely sit in ‘storage’ for years to come.
