Amal Clooney Wears Archival Gold McQueen at The King’s Trust 50th Anniversary Celebration

Her vintage pick draws attention to the charity’s 50-year drive to help young people into jobs.

Overview

  • Amal Clooney joined George Clooney at Royal Albert Hall in London for The King’s Trust celebration marking the charity’s 50th year.
  • She chose a gold sequined gown from Alexander McQueen’s fall 2007 collection, a line titled “In Memory of Elizabeth Howe, Salem, 1692” that referenced the Salem witch trials.
  • She paired the V-neck, cap-sleeve, column gown with metallic pointed pumps, a gold clutch, and delicate jewelry.
  • Reporters note the dress’s known pedigree—worn by Cameron Diaz in 2007 and sold at Bonham’s in 2010 before fetching $114,000 at Sotheby’s in 2024—though it is unconfirmed if her gown is that exact piece.
  • The King’s Trust, founded by the current King in 1976, says it has supported more than a million young people across the U.K. with skills, training, and paths to work.
