Letting her dark hair cascade over her shoulders in luxurious waves, she sharpened her cloven-in-marble features with makeup and lent the ensemble a dash of glitz with an ornate bracelet.
Meanwhile George, plumping for the silver fox look with a white beard and distinguished salt-and-pepper hairdo, modeled his signature classic tuxedo as he posed on his wife's arm.
As they posed up a storm in front of the event's gold backdrop, they mingled with some of the other attendees, including Amal's mother, the Lebanese journalist Baria Alamuddin.
At one point the Hollywood power couple also posed flanking fashion designer Donatella Versace, who slid her trademark wiry frame into a daringly see-through brocaded gown.
They also got in a bit of hobnobbing with none other than beauty mogul Charlotte Tilbury, who made a splash in an eye-popping dress with a design reminiscent of fish scales.
Andra Day, who garnered critical acclaim and an Oscar nod for her portrayal of Billie Holiday in a recent biopic, also managed to get in a bit of posing with her hosts. 
Couples galore turned the fete into a date night, from ex-James Bond Daniel Craig and his actress wife Rachel Weisz to Oscar-winner Julianne Moore and her husband Bart Freundlich.
Cindy Crawford, reigning Supermodel of the 1990s, attended the fete on the arm of her dashing husband Rande Gerber, who co-founded the tequila brand Casamigos with George and businessman Mike Meldman.

George's old Ocean's Eleven co-star Matt Damon flashed his winning smile as he wrapped an arm around his wife Luciana Barrorso, while Emily Blunt beamed beside her sizzling husband John Krasinski.
Modern Family bombshell Sofia Vergara received an affectionate kiss on the cheek from Heidi Klum, who currently sits with her on the judging panel of America's Got Talent.

They both look stunning AND, they just celebrated their 9th wedding anniversary! Good for them!

Yes, I think there was one interview where he mentioned that Amal had given him a silk (of course!) dressing gown with Hubby emblazoned on the back!

Amal looks better as she ages. Or maybe it's a different makeup approach.

George is still the stunner of that couple.

I think she's trying a new makeup look. Definitely changed her lipstick away from that dark red she was using for so long. I'm still not sure if this is a better look. George looks fantastic & her mother looks really good, too.

George lookd great . Amal has changed her make up and lightened her hair.
The dark hair and heavy make up to me made her look older than she was.

I'm definitely a fan of the lighter hair and makeup. She's gorgeous either way but the new, lighter look is modelesque.

The more I look the less I like the new lipstick. Maybe it's the darker outline or just that beige-y color, but to me it's too close to her skin tone & kind of muddy looking. I like that she's using lighter lipstick, but not this color. ( Not that what I think matters. Just my opinion.)

Yeah, I know absolutely nothing about makeup, so I don't know what she's doing, but for me, I think she looks better because she's not trying so hard - if that makes sense. 

Anyway, like I said, George is the pick of the pair. He's 62 now? Our ages don't seem so far apart anymore  [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Nice comments and lots of photos of Amal in the article... but why aren't the recipients highlighted?   

They were named for Justice Albie Sachs, an internationally famous South African jurist subjected to jail and then exile for his activism against the apartheid regime.
This year's honorees included a Ukrainian NGO, a Congolese anti-rape activist and the two Iranian journalists who broke the story of the killing of Mahsa Amini that ignited their country's Woman Life Freedom uprising.


As far as I'm concerned, this ceremony comes off as another  vehicle to promote Amal 's gown cascading hair, etc.
