Amal Clooney -- Check Me Out Hollywood ... My Abs Are Ready For a Close-Up

Amal Clooney is on the diva fast track -- based on her latest outfit ... she's going full-court press on the Hollywood glitz thing.

George Clooney's bride is a quick study in attention-grabbing ... Amal stepped out for dinner in NYC in a midriff-baring ensemble that would have Lady Gaga licking her chops.

Amal reportedly lunched with Anna Wintour earlier in the day ... so it's possible she's gearing up for a Vogue spread.
