Alamuddin recently attended Amal and George Clooney’s The Albies event – Meryl Streep, Meg Ryan and Donatella Versace were also there

Tala Alamuddin doesn’t just resemble Amal Clooney – the British-Lebanese designer is also incredibly close to her lawyer and human rights activist older sister.

The two sisters have been each other’s biggest cheerleaders over the years, with Alamuddin taking on the duties of a maid of honour during her 2014 nuptials to George Clooney (the couple elected not to have a traditional one or a best man). Alamuddin’s daughter, Mia, was Amal’s only flower girl at the wedding.

In return, when Alamuddin launched her Singapore-based accessories brand Totally Tala in 2017, the 47-year-old lawyer showed her support for her younger sister by carrying a clutch from the brand to attend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s 2018 wedding in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Most recently, Alamuddin supported Amal when she attended The Albies, an annual black-tie event hosted by George and Amal Clooney to celebrate those who have devoted their lives to fighting for justice. The event was held at the Natural History Museum in London earlier this month. Other guests included Meryl Streep, Meg Ryan and Donatella Versace.
