Suffice to say, Amal Clooney knows how to dress for a party, and her latest look is one we're planning to copy this festive season.
The human rights lawyer attended a premiere with her husband George this weekend –walking the red carpet at the London screening of his new film The Boys in the Boat – and made a case for the corset.
Amal's effortlessly chic ensemble was an instant classic. She styled her black velvet boned top with tailored trousers, gold jewellery, a box clutch and go-with-everything pointed pumps.
She finished off her look with a glam Christmassy red lip (Charlotte Tilbury's Limitless Lucky Lips in 'Cherry Dream', according to her makeup artist) and wore her hair in big bouncy curls.
While we will always love a sequin dress for December, we adore Amal's take on classic party dressing; her outfit has the same timeless impact as the LBD, but with a tailored twist.
The beauty of her look is it can be styled up or down, while the pieces can be mixed and matched separately with other items in your wardrobe, meaning you're likely to get more wear out of each purchase.
The best part? The corset has, obviously, been around for centuries, so you're assured you're making a smart investment buy for party season and beyond.

While Amal's stylish approach to daywear is always inspiring, her ever-elegant eveningwear is equally as noteworthy.
From sequin dresses worn in the summer months to shimmering jumpsuits for work events, we're taking style cues from Amal by making our partywear wardrobes work all year – oh and adding that Charlotte Tilbury lipstick to basket immediately.
