At one point, Crawford and Gerber were joined on the red carpet by the hosts of the evening: George and Amal Clooney.

Known for his keen eye for fashion, 61-year-old George did not disappoint again, dressed in a handsome black tuxedo with a white shirt and shiny shoes.

Amal, a 44-year-old lawyer specializing in international law and human rights, was the epitome of elegance in a gold and silver fringed dress and matching heels.

Over the years, the Clooneys have devoted some of their time and resources to the idea that justice is the rule, rather than the exception, for everyone.

“We believe justice must be done – it doesn’t just happen,” they wrote on the… Clooney Foundation for Justice website, adding: ‘So when journalists are locked up just for doing their job, we’re trying to get them out of jail. When young girls are denied the right to study, work or marry whenever they want, we help them defend their rights through the courts. If minorities are the target of genocide, we help to initiate trials against the perpetrators.’
