Amal Clooney arrives home after meetings with Greek government over Elgin Marbles... as she is named 'most influential woman in London'

She tied the knot to Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney in a lavish four-day Venetian wedding in September, and now Amal Alamuddin has been dubbed the most influential woman in London.
The 36-year-old barrister - who changed her name last week after marrying the American actor - touched down at Heathrow Airport on Thursday afternoon following a four-day work trip in Athens.
Dressed in an elegant black and white two-piece ensemble by Oscar de la Renta, the Lebanese beauty cut a sharp figure as she made her way through the terminal.

Fresh from her honeymoon with 53-year-old George, the human rights lawyer returned to work last week when she headed to Greece to advise the Greek government in its battle to repatriate the ancient Elgin Marbles statues from Britain. 
According to, Amal said: ‘In a world of intractable conflicts, here is one that can be solved in a way that can benefit both parties and humankind altogether.’
She added: ‘Greece has a just cause and it’s high time for the British museum to recognise this.'

Meanwhile, Amal has been placed at number four on the ten most influential Londoners list which was published by The Evening Standard newspaper.
She is five places ahead of international fashion mogul Victoria Beckham, who was recently named the new UN International Goodwill Ambassador.
Both Amal and Victoria beat off competition from leading men like British Prime Minister David Cameron, Prince Harry and world-renowned scientist Stephen Hawking.

It would be fair to say that Amal Clooney is a devoted fan of Oscar de la Renta. Her much-anticipated wedding dress was created by the label, and now she's stepped out again wearing a gingham dress by the coveted design house.

Amal chose the pencil style dress featuring a gingham top as she jetted back to London, giving a whole new meaning to 'airport chic' - this is definitely now our poster look for said style!

After spotting her in this dress, we've actually realised that Amal has an unlikely fashion twin - Taylor Swift! Not only have we seen Tay Tay rocking this exact same dress before, but they have both also been pictured sporting the same pink floral dress by Oscar de la Renta before.

Like its sister print, tartan, gingham is a real classic pattern, meaning any items adorned with it are guaranteed to endure season after season. With that in mind, get inspired by Amal's look and shop our edit of gingham dresses below!

The Duchess of Cambridge, who was among Time magazine's Most Influential People In The World last year, failed to make the list as Amal swooped in just behind politicians George Osborne and Boris Johnson and Deep Mind technologies founder Demis Hassabis.
Malala Yousafzai - who just accepted the Nobel Peace Prize - made the top 20 list as she was acknowledged for her courage to stand up Taliban men who denied Pakistani women education and this week received praise from Barack and Michelle Obama.
Other entries into this year's list include the hotelier responsible for the success of The Chiltern Firehouse, Andre Balazs, as well as singer-songwriter Kate Bush, who made her return to the limelight this year with a run of live London shows.
