Human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin became an overnight darling with the fashion press as she picked all the right clothes for her high-profile wedding to former bachelor and Hollywood superstar George Clooney. While she played it safe for the ceremony in a white Chantilly lace gown with a hand-embroidered bodice, beading and crystals, for her evening reception, she picked a flapper dress with floral appliqué that instantly brought her in the same league as elegant brides from the world of showbiz.
