It's been a very glamorous few days for Amal Clooney, who has treated us to a whole series of stunning looks while supporting her husband, George Clooney, on the press run for his film Wolfs at the Venice Film Festival.

First, she kicked things off with a white leather strapless dress for a Cartier party. Then she slipped into a chiffon yellow mini dress while strolling alongside the Grand Canal. The international human rights lawyer wore a midnight blue strappy gown for an evening of socialising with George, before finally choosing a pale lemon yellow corseted lace dress to take to the red carpet. And while each outfit was exquisite, her hair was undeniably the show-stopper.

Debuting a lighter hair colour, Amal had blonde and caramel highlights sprinkled through her dark brown hair to lift her deep brunette base colour. For her first hair look, her hair stylist and makeup artist Dimitris Giannetos described her long, straight, voluminous blowdry as the “Italian Sophia Loren blow out”, nodding to old-school Italian film history. The thick, swishy style gave us all the hairspo we needed.

The second style was a little looser, but still with tons of bounce and volume – and the wavy texture made the ribbons of highlights through Amal's waist-length hair stand out even more.

The third-style was slightly side-flipped to create extra oomph through Amal's long, layered hair (long layers can be notoriously difficult to coax volume from):

And the fourth style was sleek and straight through the roots and lengths, then waved just at the ends to create some flirty movement. Again, Amal's hair was side-flipped – with the front section on one side tucked behind her ear:

Amal has always had Goddess-like hair… but the maths isn't mathsing for us. Her full hair and long-layered length shouldn't be that swooshy, but Dimitris let us in on a behind-the-scenes of the exact products he's been using with Amal on one of his Instagram slides.

He prepped Amal's hair using the Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner, then, after styling, he sandwiched her hair with two hairsprays to keep all that volume locked in. The first? Moroccanoil's Luminous Hairspray in Extra Strong. The second is the Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Anti-Humidity Hairspray, too keep everything looking smooth and glossy.

As for her makeup, Dimitris stuck to Charlotte Tilbury (a brand long-favoured by Amal, who has a lipstick named after her). In his kit, Dimitris has the Filmstar Bronze & Glow in Medium-Deep, the contour wand, matte blush wands and the Exagger-eyes Volume Mascara.

So, short of recruiting Dimitris onto our own glam squad (the spot's always there if you want it, hun), at least we know some of the secrets behind Amal Clooney's Venice beauty look.
