Amal Clooney Style 
Ok, let’s give Amal a break. She is clearly swept up in the celebrity and all that entails — for good or bad. She’ll find her footing. Her career often brought a spotlight on her – but nothing like this, of course. You have to admit, all those paps waiting for her ‘exit’ from a restaurant is pretty frightening, I can only imagine. Since some compare her to Kate Middleton, don’t forget when she & her new husband, Prince William, stepped out on the balcony after their wedding. The huge crowd waiting and the shocked expression on her face while she muttered the words ‘OMG’ (or similar). And look how nicely she’s settled into her new role. Amal is a fantastic example to women the world over – It was her BRAIN that attracted that man – certainly her looks didn’t hurt but let’s focus on her professional achievements while looking great!

Kalinka: You need to understand that Nati is an “AmalClooneyphile.” She worships the ground Amal walks on and will never, ever say, write or publish anything that is not 100% complimentary to AC! No matter what, Nati will always embellish and aggrandize every single facet of AC’s life; she cannot help herself. Prior to AC becoming a worldwide media sensation (due to her association with George), Nati’s life was empty and dull. But, the moment Nati set eyes on Amal, she became completely besotted with her; and now there’s no turning back for Nati. For better or worse, Nati’s hooked on Amal, and has decided to dedicate her entire life to enhance AC’s reputation beyond what is justified by the facts! The only good thing about all this is that working indefatigably on AC’s behalf, keeps Nati from going totally deranged. Her family is certainly grateful for that!

Look at this beautiful couple at the MET. Why do we always mention how much money Amal Clooney does spend for clothes?
1. She does not make any debts, the Clooneys pay all bills.
2. She does not smoke, not drink a lot – no drugs – nothing.
3. She is not only on vacation on big yachts or something like that.
In comparison to a lot of other rich people, she is doing very well.
She is above all not lazy, she works, she earns money with a dammed good job and is married with a very wealthy man, who perhaps encourages her to buy that stuff.
Where is the problem now? We all cannot afford that kind of living, but we all have a lot of fun to look at Nati`s blog to see these beautiful pictures. Thank you Nati.
Above all she is not and will never be mother Theresa. By the way our pope Benedict wore Prada shoes. Who are we that we always damm these people.
O.k., the Philippines former Governor Marcos`wife hat 3000 pairs of shoes, paid by money taken from the poor people. This is disgusting.
So – my question is: Why are so many people disappointed of her, because she spends more money than many other people?
If we all would not look at her clothes, jewels etc. – perhaps she would not give that attention to her outfits,
The whole thing is also just a question of offer und demand.
I hope everybody will understand my English.
If questions araise, please do not hesitate and ask.

I will tell you why. You speak in terms of demand and supply, I think the debate is better framed in terms of ‘expectations and realities’.
From a very strict and banal point of view, any individual has the absolute liberty to act in any way they please, and make their own life choices, and determine their own finances. I don’t think anyone on this blog is suggesting for one moment that AC is not ‘free’ to make these choices. However, they are saying that they are disappointed that she has elected to exercise her freedom in this way.
Now why should anyone be disappointed in another’s choice? This comes down to hopes and expectations not squaring with reality.
AC and GC set themselves up as individuals who existed on a higher plane – cared a lot about human rights and the disadvantaged, buying ethical goods, AC wanted to keep up her legal practice etc etc.
In reality, AC has not kept up her legal practice beyond a tokenistic degree. As someone with considerable experience in this area, I can tell you that she is doing very little work. A barrister can do very little work because they are self-employed. Will she ever be any good? Not if she continues at the pace she is currently working at. Why does she always look so nervous and stressed at work engagements? Probably because of a lack of confidence and a lack of preparation. She looks more at ease on a red carpet than she does in a courtroom. That is saying something – most barristers are at home in courtrooms (even when nervous).
Secondly, it is impossible to square such virulent and self-serving consumerism with a genuine selfless devotion to others. To put it crudely, spending so much money so quickly, and spending so much time in perfecting one’s appearance, and becoming a walking billboard for the fashion world, is incompatible with someone who has a true commitment to serving the interests of the disadvantaged. The time and money could be better spent *if* helping others was her priority. That is not to say a woman cannot enjoy fashion and fine dining – the question is one of degree.
Essentially the question around how much she spends on clothes turns on a moral pivot, and that is cast in terms of what was expected of Amal and what in fact she is delivering. She strikes me as a junior barrister struggling to maintain her practice, and succumbing to world of Hollywood. Who knows – she may return to England and get back to work. I hope she does, there are plenty of worthy cases she could be working on.

ESR – you are a legend. Thank you for so succinctly and perfectly summarising what others have attempted to do before you.
I am unoriginal and not as eloquent and I will repeat what someone else commented earlier bce it was so well put also:
‘To those who are given much, much more will be expected’.
She sold herself as a campaigner for human rights and turned out to be very different in her transition to Clooney’s wife. George did the same – his attempts to present himself as a humanitarian are at odds with his lifestyle (just think of Amal’s and George’s carbon footprints…enough to make you cringe…..).
They deliberately created a well thought out and particular PR image related to expectations of humanitarian endeavours solely to generate interest and income – they delivered, but only to themselves. This, dear phvdheide, is the essence of why thinking and moralistic people have problems with the discrepancy.

ESR, i couldn’t agree more. So well put! Thank you for your comment!
So why do we all keep coming back to this site (btw thank you, Nati, for the wonderful job you’re doing!)?
Because Amal intrigues us. She’s interesting: to me she looks a little different on every pic! Sometimes like a lady, sometimes very girly, sometimes cool and edgy, othertimes almost arrogant, then again insecure… It fascinates me.
Another obvious reason is her looks of course: sometimes inspiring, sometimes controversial.
But the main reason (at least for me) for being a regular visitor of this site is that – sadly – there aren’t a lot of famous women who seem to be intelligent AND have a great sense of style. I was so hoping that she could be another role model to women at any age in our shallow, materialistic world. Like Queen Rania for example who a while ago held an amazing speech at a conference in Dubai on Isis and how education must be key in fighting it. There are just SO many important issues in the world today!
Like ESR pointed out: we would never hope for any of this if we were talking about Kim Kardashian or any other so-called it-girl. In fact, i wouldn’t talk much about them to begin with. And maybe if GC didn’t emphazise his concern on Darfur, human rights etc so publicly, maybe we would never have started to believe that there could be someone less superficial than the rest of hollywood…
What i’m wondering is WHY she’s doing it? She must always have been very beautiful. Yet she worked so hard for her career. Why would she neglect it now for superficialities like fashion, attention, glamour and fame? It kind of disappoints and intrigues me at the same time!
LikeLike
ESR I can see where you are coming from and I think you are fair with your assessment. However, as hard to believe as it might be, being materialistic and caring are not mutually exclusive. Also I don’t see where Amal “sold herself” as anything. the woman stayed who she was before George and kept doing what she was doing before Goerge. this is exactly why some people are disappointed in her! they excepted something from her, but she didn’t fit these expectations. like any other human being, she has flaws. apparently one of them is being very materialistic. However, these flaws do not remove or reduce her good traits because the flaws she has are harmless. distracting, yes, but harmful, no. Also I strongly disagree that George did humanitarian things in his life “solely to generate interest and income.” i don’t think he went to a restless region in the world and took his father with him and caught malaria only to gain more fame and money. How is generating money form this? if anything, he is loosing money, because apparently placing a satellite in space and flying to Darfur are very costly. yes the man lives a very luxurious life but that doesn’t strip him from any morality and compassion he has. Nothing is forcing George to keep an eye on a dictator and nothing is forcing him to donate any penny of the money he earned in life. Nothing is forcing Amal to reduce her fees to almost nothing just to free a journalist. Nothing forced Amal inn the past to move from corporate law (where they make more money) to human rights law.

I loooove love love this!!! Eloquently explains how i feel. I thought the same of her press conference recently. My friends who are lawyers did better as first year law students than she did in her presentation. And i also agree that she seems wayyy more comfortable on the red carpet or going out. She seems unprepared. While her speeches are well written they are not rehearsed and forces her to continuously read from paper. Hence i digress, i think it is simply a case of unmet expectations. Fault is ours and the PR image we were fed
LikeLike
Clara, thank you for your response. Briefly by way of reply I would make two points. The first is on the relationship between selfless humanitarianism and materialism. I wouldn’t capture George under the banner of materialism – yes, he has a certain lifestyle as all those with sufficient means do, but there is nothing opulent or excessive about his choices in comparison with others of his means. I would single out AC as distinctly materialistic. It is not as simple as saying that it is hard to ‘believe’ that materialism and ‘compassion’ can co-exist. I am sure materialism and compassion can, but can materialism and a activist devotion to human rights? I distinguish a ‘human rights lawyer’ from the activist who is devoted to human rights, these are two different beasts, and Amal was certainly presented as the latter.
There is much thought on what impact markets have on morals, in particular the hyper-consumerism of the market. There are those who would say that such consumerism is not morally neutral, that consumerism promotes certain attitudes to the goods being exchanged. If we allow the market to entirely permeate our lives, and allow it to govern all of our life choices, there is an argument that it can reduce our values and convictions into a generalised cost-benefit analysis, which is corrupting.
I am certainly no saint, and guilty of consumerism as much as anyone else, but again this is all a question of degree. Sure, AC has greater means than most… this can compute to the fact that she can afford more expensive goods than most, but why must it mean that she consumes *more goods* and *more expensive* goods? That is hyper-consumerism, and some would say such consumerism is corrupting. So are these traits harmless? I think this point needs more careful consideration.
As to your second point, there is no detracting from AC’s work. She is at Doughty Street, a well known human rights set which certainly has an activist bent, and yes she made the move out of corporate law to the London public bar. There is no doubt that she has some devotion to the rights of others. But again, the word here is ‘degree’. I have witnessed a distinct slump in her legal work since her marriage, which neatly coincided with rampant consumerism – now how does one account for that?
Take her recent ‘cases’ which is more activism than law. There was little to no legal work involved in working on the Fahmy case – Fahmy was freed by a mixture of local politics and international relations, no legal team from the outside could have brought pressure to bear on this matter. AC was hired for publicity, I am not sure how much publicity her involvement actually generated. Similarly, her recent case work on the Maldives is more activism than law.
The problem with activism is that it is very hard to measure her contribution, her skill, and the overall impact. Whereas were she practising law, her contribution would be much clearer. By way of example, I will mention a typical case involving human rights – take an immigration appeal, the UK tribunals see these all the time. A family of five, currently residing in a detention centre, about to be deported back to a violent homeland where they will most certainly be destitute and perhaps even killed. What of Art. 8 rights? What of the UN rights of the child? Unfortunately, UK laws don’t make much room for these. AC would have to take this case most likely with 1-2 days notice, she would then have to work through the night, cancel some social engagements, and rush in front of a judge to persuade him to grant an injunction to stop this deportation. This is hard work, requiring a great degree of skill, and an absolute selfless dedication because this is the kind of work for which one makes social sacrifices. And by the end of the day, she would know if she had saved this family from deportation or not. On the other hand, giving a speech, filing UN papers, and writing a Guardian article as part of a team of 3 (who are no doubt doing much of the research), is hardly what I would consider self-less devotion to HR. It is the kind of work one can ‘fit in’ to her current lifestyle. And this is perhaps one example of where materialism has the potential to corrupt certain values.
Clara, do not take this as a full-frontal assault on AC as it is not. These are just my observations. I hope very much she returns to the Bar and resumes her legal work. Now there would be the role model she was presented as.

ESR thank you for your response. you’re not too judgy with your comments and you articulate your thoughts in a polite manner. Therefore, you leave me little space, if any, to argue with you. I really don’t know enough things about her to counter argue your points. You might be right, you might be wrong. I honestly don’t know. Her outer image and the things she did in the last couple of months of her life are not enough for me to make up my mind about her. By the way, although you take a diminishing approach in your view of her, I still don’t think you are being too judgy towards her.you are just commenting on the things you are observing and that’s ok. I think its the human nature to frame others into a certain set of expectations and wait impatiently for them to be met. Add to this the media that can, and were indeed, something wrong and misguiding in their portrayal of Amal. Honestly this doesn’t look like a fair thing to do to anyone one. why instead of expecting others to be in a certain way, we just accept them for who they are,? For example, you expectt Amal to cancel her social events and go defend a person in front of a judge. But what if Amal wants to attend the social event and then go defend someone in front of a judge. Is this wrong? No. It just doesn’t fit your own standards. Again that’s fine as long as Amal is not harming anyone. By the way, you seemed to dismiss this “harm” point I made earlier, alluding to a slippery slope. that’s a rational thinking, but I’d rather wait and see. In general, I’d rather take my time to “discover” what kind of person Amal is. one might ask why do I even care. Well my only justification is that I find enjoyment and entertainment in doing so. whatever Amal might end up being, she is certainly not boring. Of course, I wish her, and every person in this world, the power to receive her full potential and self-actualization and most importantly happiness, even if her happiness comes by unfitting other people’s expectations.

We are all free to follow and watch or you can log off and continue your life as you choose, but don’t try to make everyone look bad or ugly or useless just because you can’t cope with yourself and your life and the way its turning out.

EXACTLY Anna! As much as i could see the points some for these commentators are making, it gets old after a while, because they are doing it at the wrong platform. I do also believe that harsh criticism to others, hides a much harder and harsh self-criticism. They are very hard on themselves to start with and have a hard time allowing others to be who they are. To disguise their self non-satisfactions, they assume so much of others as if what they say or see is the absolute truth, when in fact they know nothing. Hard to even consider such harsh criticism as a good read.

Interesting question.
I am not a lawyer but I will make a general comment.
In Canada (as I’m sure in many/all countries), we have a ‘Rules of Professional Conduct’ for lawyers (indeed, for many professions). I took a quick look through it and found this section on ‘integrity’ (please see below).
So, a lawyer’s private life, as it relates to the his/her professional integrity, can be analyzed.
I think this is the same for many professions (e.g. teachers, doctors). They are almost held to a higher standard than that of the general population.
[1] Integrity is the fundamental quality of any person who seeks to practise as a member of the legal profession. If a client has any doubt about their lawyer’s trustworthiness, the essential element in the true lawyer-client relationship will be missing. If integrity is lacking, the lawyer’s usefulness to the client and reputation within the profession will be destroyed, regardless of how competent the lawyer may be.
[2] Public confidence in the administration of justice and in the legal profession may be eroded by a lawyer’s irresponsible conduct. Accordingly, a lawyer’s conduct should reflect favourably on the legal profession, inspire the confidence, respect and trust of clients and of the community, and avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
[3] Dishonourable or questionable conduct on the part of a lawyer in either private life or professional practice will reflect adversely upon the integrity of the profession and the administration of justice. Whether within or outside the professional sphere, if the conduct is such that knowledge of it would be likely to impair a client’s trust in the lawyer, the Law Society may be justified in taking disciplinary action.
[4] Generally, however, the Law Society will not be concerned with the purely private or extraprofessional activities of a lawyer that do not bring into question the lawyer’s professional integrity.
