After departing a boat, the Clooneys walked hand in hand into the venue.
George was pictured wearing an all-black look featuring a suit, open-collar shirt and shoes. Amal — this year’s DVF Leadership Award honoree — opted to wear a romantic blush pink lace gown with a sheer overlay on the skirt. She teamed the design with gold sandal heels, dangling earrings and a half-up hairstyle with mermaid waves.

Mohammed; environmental and human rights defender Helena Gualinga; AI expert Dr. Joy Buolamwini; and gender equality advocate Lilly Singh.

In 2022, at the Albie Awards, which honors those who devote their lives to justice, George spoke to PEOPLE abouthow proud he was of his wife’s work. “This is an exciting one,” he said at the time, “because Amal’s gotten journalists out of Egypt, out of Azerbaijan, prisons, out of — all over the world, Myanmar."
He later added: “My father’s a journalist. I have a great affinity for them — her mother’s a journalist. So it’s really exciting for me when she’s able to get people who are wrongly accused for doing their job out [of prison]. So, for me, it’s just — I couldn’t be more proud of my wife.”
Both George and Amal started theClooney Foundation for Justice, which focuses on human rights issues.
