Amal Clooney found herself at the center of online criticism for wearing a “childish” and “tacky” dress while strolling the streets of Saint-Tropez with her handsome husband, George Clooney.
The 46-year-old international human rights lawyer wore a flirty floral summer dress – a vintage Donatella Versace – as she walked hand-in-hand with George Clooney in the French Riviera town.
While some fans thought her dress looked “cheap,” others admired her youthful beauty, saying, “So cute!” Let’s dive into what people are saying about Amal’s charming vacation look!
A Stylish Stroll in Saint-Tropez
George, 63, and Amal Clooney were recently spotted enjoying some quality time together in Saint-Tropez along the French Riviera. Before dining on Mediterranean food at the waterfront Jardin Tropezina restaurant, the couple strolled through the streets, hand-in-hand.
George, twice named People’s Sexiest Man Alive, kept it casual with a white polo shirt, gray pants, and gray shoes, accessorized with sunglasses. Meanwhile, Amal wore a bright mini floral dress – a vintage Donatella Versace design – paired with oversized sunglasses, a white shoulder bag, and nude peep-toe wedges.
Vogue describes her classic attire as a “flirty white mini dress patterned with pink toile and neon yellow, orange, and pink florals.”
“Quiet luxury? Amal Clooney doesn’t know her,” Vogue wrote of Amal, who married Academy Award winner George in 2014. “The reigning queen of European vacation style has returned to the continent to defend her crown, kicking off the summer with an outfit that would surely make Carrie Bradshaw green with envy.”
The playful vintage dress, called “Diva Alert” in Versace’s 2004 collection, features ruffle embellishments and a tiered skirt with an asymmetrical hemline.
“The collection made waves at the time: aughties hotties Liv Tyler, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan all favored the same print that Clooney wore in France.”

Despite coming from an iconic designer collection, Amal’s dress failed to impress everyone. Some were not captivated by its charm and allure.
“Childish and cheap,” one troll commented on Vogue’s Instagram post.
Others expressed their love for Amal but critiqued her outfit harshly.
“Amal looks great, but the dress is tacky and tasteless,” one person wrote. Another added, “The dress looks a bit old and not the right look for her unless they are glamping.”
One fan didn’t like her footwear: “Sorry Amal, but you are too smart to wear those shoes in St Tropez!”
Support for Amal
Meanwhile, other netizens defended Amal, saying she looks “so cute!”
“Reading comments, do we really have so many jealous and not nice people around?” one person shared.
Admiring Amal’s long legs, another wrote, “Amal looks so beautiful in this short dress—great legs!”
“George and Amal Clooney are soaking up the sun and enjoying each other’s company on the beautiful French Riviera. What a best time to love,” a third fan shared.
Others joked about the photo of Amal and the Oceans 11 star walking hand-in-hand.
“I hold hands with my husband of 34 years and no one writes about us,” one person joked, while another added, “Breaking News…during Mass today at Holy Family Catholic Church this morning, my husband held my hand.”
