Amber Heard swapped her demure black dresses for a sharp suit while her 'squad' put on a united 'power-dressing' front for the third day of her estranged husband Johnny Depp's libel trial against The Sun.

The Hollywood legend, 57, is suing the British tabloid newspaper for labelling him a 'wife beater'.

He has been accused of slapping the American actress, 34, three times in 2013 after she laughed at his infamous 'Wino Forever' tattoo, and attacking her in a cocaine and alcohol-fuelled tirade on a plane over accusations that she cheated on him with 'rapist' James Franco.

The trial will last three weeks and promises to be full of revelations about Depp and his celebrity friends as he fights allegations that he was abusive towards Amber during their five-year relationship.

British stylist Susie Hasler, who who runs Styled by Susie, told FEMAIL that Amber's legal team and supportive sister Whitney 'all received the power dressing memo today'.

'The actress - as always - looks incredible in an understated, business-like suit, a figure-hugging skirt, and a crisp white shirt,' she observed.

'It’s a serious look. She’s power dressing - she wants to be seen as strong and not fussy. A trustworthy figure. It’s an outfit that says, "I mean business".

'The rest of Team Amber has followed suit with their outfits too. It shows they are unified. They are in this together.

'They’ve all got their hair loose and they’ve all opted for minimal make-up. There’s nothing to take the spotlight away from what’s important. They don’t want to detract from their message.'

Yesterday Susie told how Amber's choice of a red polka dot scarf as a face covering to comply with Covid-19 precautions and an accessory is also most likely a very deliberate move.

'The red scarf is interesting as red is a powerful, intimidating colour,' she pointed out.

'Red is worn in powerful meetings to assert your authority.'

Speaking about her look today, Susie said: 'The scarlet scarf is a loud nod towards her personality. Red is a passionate colour - and can sometimes be interpreted as intimidating.'

Whitney ditched the plain black face mask she wore on Tuesday today, replacing it with a vibrant green paisley scarf which brightened up her black attire.

Yesterday Amber donned a chic below-the-knee black dress cinched in at the waist with a belt, with sleeves capped just above the elbow.

Her outfit featured a longer, floatier skirt than day one, but remained demure with long sleeves and a looser fitted top.
