Lady in red.

While in NYC for a meeting with the UN, Amal Clooney continued her style streak Thursday night in a red-hot midi dress by Sukeina for dinner with her mother, Baria Alamuddin.

Featuring a sheer mesh top and intricate hand-braided and tasseled skirt, the striking look was equal parts sexy and elegant — and a far cry from the more conservative fare the human rights lawyer typically wears while on the job.

Clooney, 44, matched her lipstick to the sleeveless scarlet style, and accessorized with sparkling drop earrings from W. Salamoon & Sons, a metallic box clutch and silver Gianvito Rossi pumps with clear PVC details.

While in the Big Apple ahead of Monday’s Met Gala, the British-Lebanese barrister has stepped out in one eye-catching look after the next, from the vintage Dior polka-dot skirt suit she wore to the United Nations headquarters to the sparkling silver top she teamed with jeans for a night out on Wednesday.

The high-profile attorney, who shares 4-year-old twins Ella and Alexander with husband George Clooney, spoke out about Russia’s attacks on the Ukraine while at the UN this week.

“Here we are, faced with the evidence of crimes of aggression, war crimes, crimes against humanity and mounting evidence each day of the crime of genocide,” Clooney said during her address.

“What worries me as I sit here today is that the resolute action we have seen in the first 50 days of this war will turn out to be the high point instead of the starting point of the legal and diplomatic response.”
