Amal Clooney's princess hair transformation everyone missed

Amal Clooney is famed for her trademark glossy brunette locks, but the 45-year-old underwent a hair makeover this week, swapping her iconic dark mane for a lighter look.

The lawyer and her husband, George Clooney, are currently living it up in Venice, with Amal debuting her new look as the pair boarded a boat at the DVF Awards on August 31.

Amal looked as perfect as ever in a vintage Christian Dior dress by John Galliano with her hair looking noticeably lighter and longer than it had when the pair arrived at Venice airport just days before, suggesting she'd had highlights and extensions.

George Clooney's wife's hair tumbled down to below her shoulders, tonged to perfection in glossy waves, with the tendrils around her face a honey blonde shade.

Amal accessorized her hair with elegant drop earrings and smoky eye makeup, while George looked suave as ever in a dark suit.
