Hollywood royalty has entered the building.

Amal and George Clooney made their grand arrival Thursday evening at the Albies, the annual event hosted by their Clooney Foundation for Justice. The awards ceremony took place at the iconic New York Public Library in Bryant Park and featured a star-studded guest list.

The Clooneys were the epitome of elegance in coordinating black-tie looks. The human rights lawyer stood out in a long black velvet dress with a sophisticated plunging neckline, structured bodice and a short train that flowed as she walked.

Although the dress was simple, Amal upped the ante with layers of fabulous jewelry: long chain-like earrings studded with tiny white diamonds, and a stack of cuff bracelets that were also completely covered in diamonds. She carried a shiny black clutch and had a shiny smoky eye, a red lip and a matching red manicure. Her hair was styled in elegant waves.

George was his dapper movie star self in a classic black tuxedo. He completed the look with polished black dress shoes.

The couple walked into their event hand in hand and stopped at several locations for photos. In the images we see the two looking lovingly into each other’s eyes.

The Albies are named after Judge Albie Sachs in tribute to his important role in ending apartheid in South Africa. They aim to honor and shine a light on individuals who have dedicated their lives to justice.

Celebrity attendees at this year’s event included Donatella Versace, Cate Blanchett, Emily Blunt and husband John Krasinski, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, Shailene Woodley and Jimmy Fallon.
