George Clooney’s introduction to the 74th annual Venice Film Festival proved to be surprisingly low-key as stepped out with glamorous wife Amal on Thursday evening.
The couple were making their first appearance in the picturesque Italian city following the birth of twins Ella and Alexander in June, and they were elegantly dressed as they exited the upmarket Hotel Cipriani ahead of a night out.
Sporting a sophisticated off-the-shoulder evening dress with spotted embellishments, Amal, 39, continued to show off her impressive post-baby physique while making her way towards a waiting boat.

Joining his wife, George, 56, looked appropriately dapper in a grey two-piece suit and matching open neck shirt as they prepared for their romantic evening.
Venturing onto the small boat that waited to whisk them across one of the city’s winding waterways, George gallantly helped Amal, who gingerly followed behind her husband.
