Amal and George Clooney host the Albies 2024 in black tie look

Hollywood royalty has entered the building.

Amal and George Clooney made their grand entrance to the Albies, their Clooney Foundation for Justice's annual event, on Thursday evening. The awards ceremony took place at the legendary New York Public Library in Bryant Park and featured a star-studded guest list.

The Clooneys were the epitome of elegance when it came to combining black-tie looks. The human rights lawyer wowed in a long black velvet Versace dress with a sophisticated plunging neckline, structured bodice and a short train that flowed as she walked.

While the dress was simple and classic, Amal upped the ante by wearing layers of fabulous Cartier jewelry: long, chain-like drop earrings encrusted with tiny white diamonds and a stack of cuff bracelets also fully encrusted with diamonds. She carried a shiny black clutch and sported a shimmery smokey eye, a red lip and a matching red manicure. Her hair was styled in elegant waves.

The couple walked to the event hand in hand and stopped at several locations to take photos. In the pictures you can see how the two look lovingly into each other's eyes.

The Albies were named after Judge Albie Sachs in tribute to his important role in ending apartheid in South Africa. The aim of the awards is to honor and shine a spotlight on people who have dedicated their lives to justice.
