Amal Clooney, 47, Debuts Shorter Hair After Chopping off 8 Inches for Fall – Photos

The celebrated human rights lawyer didn't just change the length of her hair; she also updated its color, opting for a rich, autumn-inspired shade perfectly in tune with the season's vibe.

Amal Clooney, known for her thick and glossy hair, has debuted a fresh new look. She traded her signature length for a shorter, more sophisticated style that exudes effortless glamor. Her bold change has drawn admiration from fans, as well as a few backhanded compliments.

Celebrity Stylist Reveals the Bold 'Power Cut'

After serving up sleek, sun-kissed glamor in London and Venice with her waist-skimming locks, Amal decided to go shorter for the fall season. She unveiled a chic, shoulder-length cut that perfectly suits the new season.

Even though Amal's hair is shorter, the change is still relative — her locks have always been known for their impressive length. Still, even trimming a few inches from such hair can feel dramatic.

"I cut off between six and eight inches of hair," said Dimitris Giannetos, Amal's hair and makeup professional. He added, "Amal has never had a haircut like this before."

Dimitris noted that right before the 2025 Albies, he and Amal agreed it was the perfect time to refresh her look. They opted for a cut that hit the décolletage, featuring blunt ends and a few long, face-framing pieces to create what Dimitris described as a "sophisticated and modern" look.

He explained that the "power cut" also came with a color update. They deepened Amal's base shade of brown and warmed up the face-framing strands to a hue he called "toasted almond." The Scandinavian-style highlights, Dimitris said, help to "keep features soft and sweet."

Dimitris, who often works with L'Oréal Paris products, shared that he relies on the brand's Elvive Glycolic Serum to tame frizz and add shine — whether for Amal's everyday style or a glamorous red carpet appearance.

Fans Applaud the Glow-Up: 'Her Hair Is to Die For!'

True to his vision, Amal Clooney radiated elegance and confidence in the photos Dimitris posted, showing off her side-parted hair, glowing nude makeup, and signature bright smile. The shots, taken both at the salon and during events, captured her refined new look beautifully.

Fans were equally captivated by the transformation, flooding the comments with praise for her chic new style. One admirer couldn't help but gush, "This cut was needed. Looks awesome." Another person added with enthusiasm, "So much better shorter."

A fan highlighted her natural beauty, "Looks beautiful without extensions." Someone else echoed the sentiment, "It looks so much better shorter." Compliments kept pouring in, with one comment reading, "Her hair is to die for." Another admirer called the new look, "Very flattering!"

One fan loved the healthy glow of her new style, noting, "Her hair is so healthy and shiny... And shorter? love it!" Even those with a keen eye for detail chimed in, "Looks great...and cutting off a few more inches would work also." And finally, a fan speculated on the transformation behind her refreshed look, "It's called taking off the excessive extensions."

The wave of comments Amal often receives about her appearance tends to range from admiration to concern. On August 7, 2025, she and George hosted guests of the Clooney Foundation for Justice at their Lake Como home, Villa Oleandra. During the event, Amal's appearance sparked worry among some fans, who took to social media to share their concerns.

The 47-year-old wore a flowing fuchsia gown with a high slit and bow detail. She paired the dress with a gold clutch and a pink bouquet. George Clooney opted for a dark suit with an open-collar shirt. The star couple welcomed attendees for an intimate aperitif before traveling by boat to Villa Passalacqua for dinner.

Photos from the event circulated online, sparking a wave of reactions from people on Instagram.

One person wrote, "My goodness this is so worrisome. This is an eating disorder. I hope they realize this. Yes I work in the medical field [sic]." Another commented, "She is skinny, we almost don't see her beautiful face, only hair!"

"Get that gal a deep dish 🍕[sic]!!!" one person remarked, while another stated, "She's an elegant, beautiful woman but she is way too skinny." A further comment read, "She stunned people alright - with her rail thinness. I sincerely hope she's ok [sic]."

Some shared broader opinions about celebrity appearances. "I think slim and athletic people are beautiful, but many celebrities are just gaunt and emaciated! Does he like that?" one individual asked.

Others kept their reactions short, with one writing, "Omg," and another noting, "A happy, beautiful couple in love." One more fan added a positive sentiment, "Beautiful and classy."

Amal rarely discusses her marriage to actor George in public. The couple, who wed in 2014, are parents to twins Alexander and Ella, born in June 2017.

However, in a July 3, 2025, interview with Glamour, Amal opened up about her family life and the support she receives from her husband.

"I have a partner in life who is so supportive of what I do. So I don't feel like I have to apologize for it or rein it in," she noted.

Reflecting on her early days of motherhood, she recalled, "I remember when I became a mom, which was obviously a new frontier, he was the first one to say, 'I know you've got this speech at the Security Council. You have to go, I've got the kids, don't worry about it.'"

Amal expressed, "I feel so incredibly lucky to share every day with him. And now we're four. And I don't take any of it for granted. I treasure the laughter and the joy that I get from just being with them."

She also explained that they take steps to protect their children's privacy: "We don't put our children out there, we've never put their photo out there or anything like that."

George has also shared his perspective on their relationship. In a September 2022 interview with "CBS Mornings," he recalled being labeled a "confirmed bachelor" before meeting Amal.

"I was no longer confirmed," he joked, before adding, "It was easy. It was the minute she walked in the door, I was taken by her. And the fun part was, I didn't know whether she would like me or any of those things. She's this extraordinarily fun, smart, beautiful, great woman, and I was just very taken with her."

Their romance began with handwritten letters. "Some of them came from his dog," Amal elaborated. George then added with a smile, "Who could be mad at a dog?"

Amal continued, "The dog needed a human rights lawyer to rescue him from the wine cellar. I remember that."

When asked if she had been equally captivated by George, Amal admitted she was. "I met him and I thought, I'm so glad that there's someone like him in the world. I didn't necessarily imagine that I would get to spend my life with him or that we would have this incredible family, so he took me by surprise," she said.

Amal and George's recent public appearance drew both admiration and concern from fans, while their past interviews highlight a relationship built on mutual respect, support, and shared values.

From their private family life to the lighthearted moments that sparked their romance, the couple continues to balance their public roles with a strong commitment to one another and their children.
