Amal’s semi-sheer voile frock teased her long legs as it got swept up in the wind, also revealing a pair of color-coordinated navy shoes.  

The mom-of-two kept her accessories at a minimum, opting for only a simple snap clutch. 

Adding some Hollywood glamour, Amal swept her hair to the side and styled it in full-bodied curls.

The Beruit-born attorney played up her natural good looks with a hint of red lipstick and polished eyebrows.

Mom Nina was thrilled to be out on the town, donning a glittering black top and trousers with a diamond necklace to the party.

Also on Wednesday, a justice foundation created by the power couple announced the global initiative TrialWatch.

The purpose of the initiative is to monitor court trials where there is a risk of abuse and to rank countries’ judicial systems.  

TrialWatch will work with the Columbia University Law School and the American Bar Association to train an international network of court monitors, including non-lawyers, whose reports will be used by legal experts to grade trials according to international standards.

Amal said of the announcement: ‘Today, courts all over the world are used as tools of oppression. 

‘Governments get away too easily with imprisoning opposition figures, silencing critics and persecuting vulnerable groups through the courts. Trial monitoring will shine a light on these abuses.’
