Clooney made a blunder, it was merely that she opted for an old-school flourish that invited unfavorable comparisons to flawless style-world denizens like Jacqueline Kennedy, Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, the latter flaunting her gloves with perfect élan in films like “Sabrina” and “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.We use cookies and similar tools that are necessary to enable you to make purchases, to enhance your shopping experiences and to provide our services, as detailed in our Cookie Notice.
