    We look back on the best beauty looks from the woman who stole George Clooney's heart...

    With hair that gives us almost as much hair envy as the Duchess of Cambridge and a complexion to die for, Amal Clooney is one serious beauty. And as well as being a beauty icon, she's always nailing it in the style stakes, so be sure to check out her most stylish moments, too.

    Not your average A-Lister, Oxford University and NYU Law School graduate Amal is a barrister specialising in human rights and international law. As well as being an activist and author, she is also fluent in three languages (English, French and Arabic). And, after all, she s the woman who stole George Clooney s heart, so you know she s something special. The pair met at a charity fundraising event through a mutual friend, and the rest, as they say, is history...

    The couple got married in a stunning ceremony at the Aman Canal Grande luxury resort in Venice, in September 2014. It goes without saying that she was a beautiful bride, her look perfectly completed with a white wide-brim hat. And the couple are still just as loved up today here are 12 of the nicest George Clooney quotes about his wife.

    And here she is at that wedding in 2014 after the couple's civil ceremony at Venice City Hall, looking extremely elegant in white with an oversized, floppy sunhat and seriously glossy hair that sat perfectly on her shoulders. No doubt about it, she's the envy of women all over the world - and was especially so on that day.
