EXPLAINED: Your summer shorts can work for fall this easy layering trick proves it | Rare Historical Photos

Amal Clooney arrived at the 2026 Venice Film Festival in a silky pair of shorts layered beneath a blazer.

Amal Clooney knows an investment-worthy blazer when she sees one. The human rights lawyer's wardrobe shows no shortage of the workwear staple. That's not to say Clooney only stacks her best blazers over office-tested trousers: On September 1, her timeless suit jacket—and its cool-girl color trend—transformed satin shorts from a summer-to-fall must-have at the 2026 Venice Film Festival.

Clooney, a regular festival attendee, arrived by boat in a single-breasted blazer and a silky short-and-tank set. The lightweight look (which may also be a jumpsuit), designed by Tom Ford according to Vogue, featured a scoop neckline, drawstring waistline, and thigh-sweeping length. The shoulder-padded blazer—in the same fern shade—gave her pajama-type bottoms a refined, Film Festival-worthy makeover.
