That yellow dress! Married to George (who looks fun), lovely babies, clever, great career, estate in Buckinghamshire. Looks happy.

Bah. Envy

I just love her and agree, charmed life! (Only the result of brains and hard work rather than luck which is even more sickening!) she looked STUNNING in that yellow

DuchyDuke · 19/05/2018 11:26

She is beautiful and intelligent.

Queenoftheblitz · 19/05/2018 11:26

That is best outfit of the day. She nails it everytime.

Oysterbabe · 19/05/2018 11:28

She is wonderful and very fortunate but everyone has their own struggles they don't talk about.

OopsPardonMrsArden · 19/05/2018 11:28

Yep she can wear yellow alright. I would look ill in that colour.

jaseyraex · 19/05/2018 11:32

I'm not usually one to ooh and aah over other people's fashion choices, but she looks absolutely stunning in that yellow dress! I'd look like bloody big bird if I tried to wear that.

gravytrains · 19/05/2018 11:34

Best outfit yes. But not the shiny suit on George Clooney, not a good choice on a sunny day!

Pengggwn · 19/05/2018 11:35

But George could wear a bathrobe and still look suave, couldn't he? Smile

She is perfect. Astronomically classy.

LifeBeginsAtGin · 19/05/2018 12:30

Shes clever, with her own career but I don't envy anyone. I'm not signed up to follow celebrities and their lives. Let's face it. her marriage will have opened many doors.

It's a shame people don't admire intellectual, scientists, writers or people who work at their careers rather than a bunch of nobodies that pop up on Made in Chelsea and shag on Big Brother. Rant over.

Well, can't I do both? Anyway, I said envy, not admire!

She is absolute perfection. YANBU

@LifeBeginsAtGin you've been across so many posts this last few days and I don't think you've had one positive thing to say and just scorn at everything everyone says.

Earlybird · 19/05/2018 12:37

I'm curious about how Amal organises her life to get everything done. Obviously, she has help, but......

I'm in America, and she was just here giving a speech to the graduating class at one of the top universities - so she has a career, is traveling for speaking engagements, is a mum, staying slim and beautiful (exercise, manicure / pedicures, hair/makeup etc take time too), finding gorgeous clothes, being a wife, etc.

How are there enough hours in the day - even with help?

Butterymuffin · 19/05/2018 12:38

Er, wasn't she a renowned human rights lawyer before she even got near George Clooney?

She looks amazing today. What a woman.

MarshaBradyo · 19/05/2018 12:39

Her dress was so beautiful
George is so good looking

WeWere0nABreak · 19/05/2018 12:39

She's mega bright and mega beautiful. Definitely won the genetic lottery! I find it hard to believe we are the same species 🙈

MarshaBradyo · 19/05/2018 12:43

Not envious appreciate the effort
But they both stole the walk in show

SuperSuperSuper · 19/05/2018 12:47

She's a great role model. Bright, driven, caring, classy, smart.

But..... but.... she's a beard Confused.

Not all married men are straight. Some have boyfriends living in luxury villas in Lake Como

MarshaBradyo · 19/05/2018 13:11

Really OoO but what’s in it for her? How do you know

DuchyDuke · 19/05/2018 13:39

If George Clooney wanted a beard he would have married one of the waitresses he was with, not a leading Human Rights lawyer.

lexiewrites · 19/05/2018 13:48

She is absolutely fabulous and so stylish as well as obviously ridiculously intelligent. So no your aren't being at all unreasonable.

o0o0 · 19/05/2018 13:49

Not if his end game is a career in politics Duchy
