Amal Clooney shimmered in a gold Gucci gown as she arrived hand-in-hand with husband George at the fifth annual Albie Awards at the Natural History Museum in London on Friday night. Brad Pitt also made a rare public appearance with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon at the event.
Hollywood stars on the red carpet
Pitt and de Ramon were among the famous faces photographed on the red carpet ahead of the ceremony hosted by comedian Graham Norton. Other stars in attendance included Hugh Bonneville, Richard Kind, Laura Dern and Isla Fisher. Emma Thompson, 67, stepped out with her daughter Gaia Wise.
Awards honouring justice defenders
The awards ceremony was created by the Clooneys to “shine a protective spotlight on courageous justice defenders who are at risk, sending a message to those who abuse human rights that the world is watching”. The Albies are named after anti-apartheid hero Justice Albie Sachs, who received a lifetime achievement award at the charity’s inaugural fundraiser in 2022, according to the Clooney Foundation for Justice website.
In a statement ahead of the awards, the Clooneys said: “This year’s Albie honourees embody the values at the heart of our foundation. Through these awards, we want them, and everyone advocating for justice around the globe, to know that the world is watching and that they are not alone.”
Among those honoured were Kyrgyz journalists Bolot Temirov and Makhabat Tazhibek Kyzy, Malawian women’s rights advocate Vanessa Mwangala and American photojournalist Lynsey Addario.
