Clooneys Champion Justice at Star-Studded Albies Gala in London
London, UK – On Friday, October 3, Hollywood power couple George and Amal Clooney hosted “The Albies,” their foundation’s annual event dedicated to recognizing individuals making “sacrifices and courageous commitments to justice and human rights.” The prestigious gathering took place at the historic Natural History Museum in London.
The Clooneys made a striking entrance on the red carpet, posing for photographers before the ceremony. Amal Clooney captivated attendees in a chocolate brown Atelier Versace by Dario Vitale gown, featuring elegant off-the-shoulder straps and a dramatic train that flared gracefully at the hips.
Her ensemble was accessorized with a chunky bracelet, chandelier earrings, and a small clutch, while her long, dark hair flowed in loose curls. George Clooney, ever the picture of sophistication, looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo.
Fans also noted the return of his signature salt-and-pepper hair, following a temporary brown hue for his recent Broadway appearance in Good Night, And Good Luck.
This year’s Albies honored five distinguished individuals for their contributions to justice, including philanthropist Melinda French Gates. A significant moment of the evening was the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement in Pursuit of Justice Award to Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation.
Walker was celebrated for his groundbreaking work, notably creating the first billion-dollar social bond in U.S. capital markets to provide stability for nonprofit organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. His impactful career spans decades, marked by a steadfast dedication to justice that includes building affordable housing initiatives in Harlem and spearheading pioneering global social justice programs. The Clooney Foundation praised his “generosity and determination” which have “touched countless communities.”
