Amal Clooney wore a bright yellow gown to ‘The Boys on the Boat’ premiere

I watched the trailer for The Boys in the Boat a few months ago and I thought it looked good, but I completely forgot that George Clooney produced and directed it? George loves a WWII-era film, my goodness. This one is even pre-WWII but just barely. It’s based on the true story (and adapted from the nonfiction bestseller of the same name) of the University of Washington crew team who represented America at the Olympic games in Berlin in 1936. It’s a feel-good film about college kids who survived the Depression then represented their country on a global stage at the Olympics in Nazi Germany. Intense.

Anyway, these are photos of George and his wife Amal at last night’s LA premiere. The Clooneys were in Europe last week and there were some premieres and screenings, but they didn’t get a ton of attention. I guess this marks the beginning of the American promotion. Amal looked gorgeous in a striking yellow gown which appeared to be corseted. This is a great cut for her figure and I don’t even hate the yellow on her. Like, there’s too much yellow on red carpets and it’s such a tricky color. But with Amal’s coloring, she looks amazing. George looks nice too.

George told Access Hollywood that Amal doesn’t have a stylist!

    Amal looks amazing here! She’s been on a roll lately with her recent appearances. Am wondering if she’s gotten a new stylist or finally taken some advice offered here and elsewhwere because the clothes, hair and makeup have been looking really together recently. Am here for this!

      Reminds me of that canary yellow and lightened hair Angelina did at her 1st Cannes with the Pittiful. Where he’s all over her in the limo.

  2. I don’t like yellow for myself but it sure looks good on Amal. She looked stunning.

    She’s freaking gorgeous! But what I love best about her is she’s smart! A smart, gorgeous woman. I appreciate Geo is not intimidated by her intelligence but is so very proud of her. Reminds me of how much H appreciates M’s intelligence – they give me the same vibe.
    The yellow looks sunny and happy on her. Hopeful even, The idea that spring will come even though it’s the dead of winter.

    Veery pretty, Striking. Of, course for Ms. Clooney, par for the course!

  5. Digital Unicorn says:

    I LOVE both the colour and the dress itself – she looks really good. I generally like her style, she doesn’t often get it wrong.

  6. supersoft says:

    Is it me or does her face look different somehow? She reminds me of Elisabeth Hurley in these pics? Eyelift maybe?
    Her dress is fun though. She is one of the only few who can wear such bright colours without looking pale.

    • Kitten says:

      Yep she’s been looking suspiciously “fresher” these days. Whatever she had done, it’s great work because she looks incredible.

      ETA; quick google search and I think maybe just fillers…her face looks a bit more full now. She also has softer hair and makeup–no more bold red lip and black hair–so it might just be that.

    • tealily says:

      I think so too, but I think it could just be new makeup. Less of a shadow under her eyes. Filler or a new concealer? Who can say.

      • jemmy says:

        Lighter hair + discrete boob job + filling out by adding on a little bit of weight + being happy as a person

      • tealily says:

        Ugh! It always has to be something completely unattainable to us normals, like “being happy!”

  7. It Really Is You, Not Me says:

    That dress was made to fit her. And she really pulls off that color. Gorgeous.

  8. JaneS says:

    George and Amal have both been very quiet on the political front.
    George used to be pretty outspoken, and Amal is a well known lawyer, has she retired?
    Seems we only see them for photo opps lately.

    JMO, the yellow seems to be a bit neon in some pics.
    Dress cut looks good but not a fan of the color.

    • Nanea says:

      The Clooney Foundation for Justice is very much involved with various projects in different countries.

      And Amal was in Malawi recently with Michelle Obama and Melinda French Gates with the Girls Opportunity Alliance, to help with the elimination of child marriage by improving the access to childhood education.

      • bananapanda says:

        The Foundation is also working on setting up justice systems that work – i.e. court systems, lawyers, enforcement, etc. A lot of countries have laws on the books that aren’t properly enforced – a good example is women’s inheritances.

        I heard her speak and she has a really good vision for where they want to focus based on her years of legal work.

  9. Ameerah M says:

    She’s a lawyer who specializes in INTERNATIONAL LAW. And has represented victims of genocide and SA in international conflicts. She most definitely should be speaking up.

  10. SarahCS says:

    The recent red carpet outfits I’ve seen her in have been fantastic (that glittery gown in motion was just amazing) but I do miss the days of her wacky street style. That was fun.

  11. DogMom says:

    The girls are new, no?

  12. Lululu says:

    My first thought (as a UW alum) was that George’s shirt was purple and they had dressed in (something approximating) UW colors. On closer inspection probably not, but it was a nice thought :). Go Dawgs!

  13. JustChelle says:

    They are such a striking couple. She looks fabulous, as always, and George is looking mighty handsome.

  14. Onomo says:

    I actually think her hair looked better naturally, aka way darker and the highlights make her hair look cheap and fried somehow? It’s also sad that as a human rights lawyer she has spent more time on her hair and even Ukraine than the current dire situation even worse than there, starts with a G or P as you prefer.

    She looks amazing, but together they look very awkward.
