Last week,  Amal stepped out in New York for the Clooney Foundation for Justice's annual Albie's event and dazzled in a form-fitting velvet black dress created by Donatella Versace, featuring a sculpted V-shaped neckline, a gathered skirt and an elegant train, adding a touch of drama to her showstopping look.

Her red carpet beauty agenda heightened the glamour of her ensemble. Whilst she debuted a brand new decadent darker hair colour a flushed rose-pink cheek, bronze eyeshadow and a matte red lip oozed old Hollywood chic.

A statement red lip is Amal's beauty bread and butter. Although she also favours understated, elegant nude hues, she often turns to a bold red pout to add an extra dousing of dazzle to special occasions.

For the Albie's, she turned to friend and beauty industry stalwart Charlotte Tilbury to create her incredible glam, which put a strong matte crimson lip at centre stage. Charlotte shared a video of Amal receiving the final touches of her make up, telling fans exactly how she created her "sophisticated look."

The secret to Amal's stunning look is the 'Lip Cheat' lip liner in 'Red Carpet Red', paired with the 'Matte Revolution Lipstick' also in the shade 'Red Carpet Red'.

Bringing equal amounts of glamour to her look, hair artist Dimitris Giannetos created "Vintage Hollywood waves for beautiful Amal Clooney." Earlier in September at the Venice Film Festival, she captured attention with brand new opulent honey blonde highlights, but less than a month later she switched her summer-clad blonde for chestnut-hued lowlights.

Once again Amal has schooled us in timeless elegance.
