Amal Alamuddin married one-time Hollywood bachelor George Clooney in Venice on Saturday and is quickly becoming one of the most photographed women in the world.
So when the British-Lebanese human rights lawyer made her first appearance after the wedding wearing a Giambattista Valli couture dress on Sunday, it was clearly a major coup for the Paris-based designer.
Alamuddin looked every inch a star, in a long-sleeve macrame embroidered floral gown, with revealing high skirt. Photos of her showing off her wedding ring — and legs — on the Grand Canal with her actor-director husband were beamed around the world.
“It was amazing. It was beautiful,” Valli told The Associated Press.
“I was feeling so lucky to have somebody so beautiful — but beautiful in every sense of the way, to interpret my creations,” he added.
