Amal Clooney’s effortless summer glamour includes voluminous '90s-inspired hair, and that may be the real star of the look. While attending Cartier’s “Dialogues: Women Lighting the Path” event in Bangkok, the human rights lawyer stepped out in a sophisticated ensemble by Stella McCartney, pairing a flowing white blouse with vibrant coral-red tailored trousers. 

Celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos, who created the look, revealed the inspiration behind Amal’s sleek yet voluminous style. “AMAL in Thailand for CARTIER ❤️ Beautiful #amalclooney in Bangkok for @cartier ‘Dialogues women lighting path.’ Wearing @stellamccartney. For the hair I wanted to keep it effortless in a ‘90210 blowout’ 90s side part, mid-length, and a BOUNCE the ultimate 90210 blowout!” he wrote on Instagram.

The Return of the 90210 Blowout

The “90210 blowout” references the glamorous, full-bodied hairstyles that dominated the 1990s, particularly during the era of Beverly Hills, 90210. Think glossy lengths, soft layers, a deep side part, and plenty of movement.

Amal’s version modernizes the trend without feeling overly styled. Her rich brunette hair was worn smooth and straight through the crown before cascading into softly curved ends that framed her face. The signature side part added instant volume, while subtle caramel highlights enhanced dimension and shine.

Perfect Summer Look

Summer hairstyles often lean toward effortless textures and low-maintenance styling, but Amal’s blowout proves that polished hair still has a place during warmer months.

Unlike tighter curls or heavily structured waves, the 90210 blowout relies on soft movement and natural-looking volume. The style keeps hair off the face while maintaining a light, airy feel that complements both daytime and evening events.

What makes the 90210 blowout particularly appealing is its versatility. It works equally well for professional settings, special occasions, and casual summer evenings. The look also pairs beautifully with minimalist fashion. Amal’s flowing monochromatic white top allowed her glossy hair to take center stage, while the vibrant red-orange trousers created a fresh seasonal contrast.
