She recently gushed she had found ‘the great love she always hoped existed’ in a rare public speech about her husband George Clooney.
And Amal Clooney looked the epitome of happiness as she arrived for the WAAAUB Uk Chapter Gala Dinner in London on Saturday night.
The human rights lawyer, 40, stunned in a crushed velvet gown as she headed into the bash, held at the Jumeirah Carlton Hotel.

Amal, who is scheduled to speak at the glitzy event, exuded elegance in the burgundy dress which clung to her svelte figure with its ruched waistline before flowing out into a modest train.
She complemented the look with pointed black court shoes and amped up the glamour with a pair of dazzling diamond earrings.
The mother-of-two styled her dark brunette locks in tousled waves and enhanced her Lebanese-British beauty with a slick of deep pink lipstick, grey eye-shadow and blush-swept cheeks.

She finished off her elegant evening ensemble with a simple silver clutch bag and diamond bracelet.
Amal is attending the bash held by the WAAAUB UK Chapter, which is the UK based alumni group of the American University of Beirut.
Just two weeks ago Amal moved her actor husband George, 57, to tears when she paid tribute to him as he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute at Hollywood’s Dolby Theater.

As the human rights lawyer took to the stage at the star-studded ceremony, she spoke publicly for the first time about the couple’s one-year-old twins Ella and Alexander — and gushed about the ‘joy’ they give her.
She said of her Oscar winner husband: ‘He is the person who has my complete admiration and also the person whose smile makes me melt every time. My love, what I have found with you is the great love I always hoped existed.
‘And seeing you with our children, Ella and Alexander, is the greatest joy in my life.’
‘You fill our home with laughter and happiness and that’s even before the children have worked out that “da-da” is Batman, a talking fox, and friends with Mary Poppins.’
Her rousing speech came just a day after the twins celebrated their first birthday. During the event, Amal also candidly confessed she had ‘resigned herself to life as a spinster’ before meeting the superstar five years ago.
