Amal Clooney is spotted in New York with her mum

EMILY PRESCOTT: Glamorous Amal Clooney wears a leopard-print coat as she hits New York… with her mum

She might sometimes have to wear the traditional barrister’s gown and horsehair wig, but outside court Amal Clooney always cuts a more glamorous figure.

The human rights lawyer presented more evidence for her status as a style icon, arriving at her New York hotel on Friday night in a ferocious display of leopard-print coat and above-the-knee leather boots that dazzled onlookers.

The 44-year-old has had a busy week in the city, where she addressed the United Nations on the war in Ukraine.

Absent from the New York trip were husband George Clooney and their five-year-old twins. Clooney is thought to be in Wiltshire filming his movie The Boys In The Boat.

Impressing Tom Cruise is not a Mission: Impossible… if your name is Amazonica. 

The DJ tells me her wildest night was playing at an exclusive party in London where the guests included the Hollywood A-lister, Monica Lewinsky and an array of young Royals.

Unfortunately, the crowd was so raucous the police were called to shut down the event – but not before Tom had congratulated Amazonica on her DJ skills.

More recently, the 38-year-old – real name Victoria Harrison – kept VIPs on their feet at a Bafta gala party and she is also resident DJ at London’s celeb haunt Chiltern Firehouse. 

But such work isn’t all fun and games, she tells me.
