Despite being already married to George for almost ten years, the human rights lawyer opted to rock bridal fashions to enjoy a lovely date night with her husband. Outlets report that the couple arrived by boat to enjoy dinner at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo in Lake Como, Italy.
Amal’s crochet dress that she donned for their excursion is from fashion powerhouse Chanel’s Resort 2023 collection, which was designed by Virginie Viard. The garment features open and closed panels of stitching and silver sequins placed all over, adding a touch of glamor to the beachy material.
The gorgeous Chanel dress was featured as part of Look 61 in the fashion brand’s Cruise 2022/23 fashion show. Worn by a model on the runway, the dress was paired with a matching, crystal-embellished handbag, a stunning, sparkly, black, button-down jacket, an eye-catching necklace, and chic strappy heels.

Choosing to style the dress differently, Amal did not wear a jacket and accessorized with large silver earrings and metallic silver heels. Matching his wife’s demure elegance, George looked handsome in his beige suit jacket and formal pants.
Upon seeing the couple on their night out in Italy, many social media users took to online platforms to share their opinions. A lot of people criticized Amal’s crochet dress, especially where the garment’s pockets were concerned.
“[Silly] for a serious lawyer,” asserted an Instagram user. Another stated, “Those patch pockets are a crime against this woman. Against all women!” “Attacked by a tablecloth, still is tall and has cleavage,” added someone else.

On the other hand, one fan was pleasantly surprised by the dress pockets, penning, “It has pockets!? .” An observer who was confused by the style the dress was going for commented, “The tone of this dress is confusing. On the one hand it’s giving cozy knit with pockets and on the other it’s an evening gown with sequins. She looks beautiful though.”
Interestingly, despite many not having an affinity for Amal’s dress, the garment has been dubbed the biggest dress trend of the summer this year (2024).
According to a fashion outlet, many labels and fashion houses have been drawing inspiration from bohemian styles like crochet outfits that have a nostalgic ’70s feel.

In keeping with modern times, however, designers find ways to add nuances that elevate the look, as many of them have done with the crochet skirt, for example.
Whether modern crochet dresses are adorned with sleek silhouettes or fresh cutouts and patterns, the piece of clothing remains “an essential item for any wardrobe.”

“Kinda looks like his daughter!” asserted a Facebooker while another wrote, “He is super old for her.” Echoing a similar sentiment, someone else said, “George is looking old in profile.”
