Blurred lips reign: amal clooney embraces the '90s trend

From red carpets to reality, the blurred lip trend is having a moment. Celebrities like Jessie Buckley and Charli XCX have been sporting the soft, diffused lip, and now Amal Clooney joins the ranks.

Amal clooney opts for ethereal beauty in milan

The human rights lawyer appeared radiant at a Cartier event in Milan, showcasing a look that blends classic elegance with a distinctly modern touch. Makeup artist Dimitris Giannetos, known for his work with Clooney and Kim Kardashian, orchestrated the soft, earth-toned makeup, utilizing Charlotte Tilbury products.

Giannetos specifically employed Charlotte Tilbury's Foxy Brown and Coral Kiss lip pencils to achieve the effect, delicately defining the lip line and creating an almost halo-like blur around Clooney's Cupid's bow. The rest of her makeup remained true to her signature style: a smoky brown eye and warm bronze cheeks.

The soft-focus lip style feels intrinsically linked to the 1990s revival currently sweeping Beauty circles, popularized in part by makeup artist Nina Park and Hailey Bieber’s chunky lip liners. It’s a surprisingly approachable look—effortlessly chic on and off the red carpet.

The subtle shift signals a move away from the bolder lip shades of 2016, prioritizing a more romantic and natural aesthetic. The result? A timeless update to a classic Beauty icon’s repertoire.
