George and Amal Clooney donned casual clothes as they were seen at a Washington D.C. airport on Monday.
The Oscar-winner, 60, wore a black polo shirt with blue jeans and brown shoes, donning brown tinted sunglasses.
Amal, a 44-year-old human rights lawyer, was stylish in a shaggy orange jacket over a white T-shirt with grey slacks and black heels.

The Beirut-born beauty wore her dark locks down with black sunglasses and a black purse.
The couple was seen as their luggage was transported from a cart into the back of a black van on the spring weekday.
Amal was previously seen visiting the White House Monday, according to a report from FOX Business, as the outlet said it inquired with her whether her trip was over the ongoing situation concerning refugees leaving Ukraine amid the invasion from Russia.
Amal earlier this month spoke with TIME magazine about what drives her in her career, as she was named one of the Women of the Year for her efforts for justice.

‘I’m responding to what I see happening in the world,’ she said. ‘A world where the guilty are free, and the innocent are imprisoned – where the human-rights abusers are free, and those who report on the abuses are locked up. As a lawyer, I can do something about that. Or I can at least try.
‘So my work is focused on trying to help liberate victims and prosecute perpetrators – and by extension, our foundation’s work is trying to really do that at scale and globally.’
Clooney said she selects cases in part due to ‘the ripple effect’ they will have.
‘I do think about which cases are going to have the greatest impact – not only for that individual but for others who are vulnerable as well,’ she said.
The Midnight Sky star and attorney have been wed since 2014 and are parents to twins Alexander and Ella, four.

In her interview with TIME, Clooney was asked about her marriage to the A-list actor, and how she uses her platform for causes she’s passionate about.
‘Marriage has been wonderful,’ she said. ‘I have in my husband a partner who is incredibly inspirational and supportive, and we have a home filled with love and laughter. It is a joy beyond anything I could ever have imagined.
‘I feel so lucky to have found a great love in my life, and to be a mother – this is how I get my balance.’

She continued: ‘In terms of an increased public profile, I think all I can do is try to turn the spotlight to what is important. That can definitely benefit some clients.
‘If I am at a work function and reporting of it focuses on irrelevant issues, there’s not much I can do about that. Since I can’t control it, my approach is just not to dwell on it and just get on with my work and my life and hope that attitudes will catch up.
‘And I do actually feel like there is a female solidarity that has built up on these issues where other women will sort of call that out in a way that maybe wouldn’t have happened five or 10 years ago. So attitudes are changing.’
