Now we understand who to thank for Amal Clooney’s fierce ambition– and killer sense of style. The human rights attorney spoke at The Texas Conference for Females in Austin on Tuesday, and exposed that her biggest role model is her mama, Baria Alamuddin.
“I think growing up, my mom was absolutely a role model. She was constantly a working female and somebody who is independent and cared about her profession and appreciated being independent however also had balance,” she said, according to People.
“She never ever lost her femininity and she thought the balance was very important and that is something that struck with me,” Clooney said of her mom, a journalist.
We’ve always feared of the legal representative’s ability to stabilize her high-power career, Hollywood romance, and love of style, so it makes good sense that she had a powerful role model to admire who was doing the exact same thing.
Clooney even commemorated her mother with her ensemble, a navy sheath dress that turned organization casual pinstripes utterly womanly with the addition of pointed Paul Andrew pumps and drop earrings.
