(BEVERLY HILLS, CA) — British daily newspaper, The Guardian said it best when it wrote, “Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney and her husband have arrived.”
George Clooney may have been honored for his legacy in film with the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award, but Amal Alamuddin was the real winner at the globes.
She wore a chic black floor-length Dior gown and accessorized the dress with her own white gloves to match. Clooney kept close to his wife on the red carpet and looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo.
Even Amy Poehler and Tina Fey joked: “Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, was an adviser to Kofi Annan regarding Syria and was selected for a three-person U.N. commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza Strip. So tonight her husband is getting a lifetime-achievement award.”
When asked by reporters what she was wearing, Amal instead pointed to her “Je Suis Charlie” pin to show solidarity with the people of France following the terrorist attack at the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris.
Clooney accepted the award and used his remarks to remind people of the attacks in France. But first, he mentioned the “humbling thing when you find someone you love.”
“Amal, whatever alchemy brought us together, I couldn’t be prouder to be your husband,” he said.
