Finely boned as a thoroughbred, human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin seems to be giving Kate Middleton a run for her money in the style department. Since news of her engagement to Oscar-winning gorgeous George Clooney, entire blogs have been dedicated to her sense of fashion and she even reached style icon status when her Chantilly lace wedding gown made the cover of People, Hello!, New York Post and a number of other glossy magazines around the world.

So how do the fashion sisters compare?

Husbands

Education

Kate has a working class background but her parents made good and sent her through exclusive boarding schools. She was the first in her family to attend college and studied at the University of St. Andrews in Fife.

Amal was born in Beirut and her father was a retired professor of business studies at the American University of Beirut, her mother was the foreign editor of Pan-Arab newspaper al-Hayat. Her family left Lebanon in the Eighties during the Lebanese Civil War and studied at Law at Oxford with a Masters of Laws from the New York University School of Law. Since then she has become one of the world’s leading counsels on Middle Eastern affairs and has represented some of the biggest names on the international stage such as Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko and many more. Casually she works as UN Special Envoy Kofi Annan’s advisor on Syria and has still found time to write numerous articles in English, Arabic and French.

Fashion style

Both women are fashion icons. Kate follows the constraints placed upon her as a royal but for Amal the sky is the limit.
