George and Amal Clooney mark 11th anniversary at NY premiere

Amal Clooney drew attention in a floral velvet mini gown while accompanying her husband, actor George Clooney, to the New York Film Festival premiere of his new film Jay Kelly on Sept. 29, where the couple marked their 11th wedding anniversary and discussed family life and career balance. The British human rights lawyer wore a strapless burgundy Oscar de la Renta design featuring a structured velvet bodice and three dimensional floral appliqués; George Clooney arrived in a navy suit and pale blue shirt.

On the red carpet, George Clooney reflected on life at home with Amal and their eight year old twins, Ella and Alexander. "Mostly it will be me gumming bread because I'm 64, so I'll be 75," he said, mixing self deprecating humor with an observation about shifting priorities. He added that he has stepped back from the earlier, relentless pursuit of career milestones. "I've had my career in many ways and, you know, things were winding down in a way, so I get to be home with my kids a lot and it's fun," he said, noting that the couple keeps in touch when he is away through FaceTime and by trying to avoid long stretches apart.
