Hollywood Stars Gather for The Albie Awards

Actresses Hannah Waddingham, Emma Thompson, and Isla Fisher were among the stars who gathered at The Albies, an event hosted by Amal and George Clooney. The ceremony, held at the Natural History Museum, aims to honor individuals dedicated to justice and human rights. The event is named after South African anti-apartheid hero Justice Albie Sachs.

Waddingham, 52, wore a figure-hugging green dress to the event, while Thompson, 67, attended with her daughter Gaia Wise. Fisher, 50, was seen in a red Rebeca Vallance gown.

Amal Clooney, 48, wore a gold fringed Gucci gown, and her husband George Clooney, 65, appeared in a tuxedo. Also in attendance was actor Brad Pitt, 62, accompanied by his girlfriend, jewelry designer Ines De Ramon, 33. Pitt has been friends with George Clooney for over 30 years.

Other notable guests included Hugh Bonneville and Heidi Kadlecova, actress Marisa Abela, Richard Kind, and Laura Dern. Charlotte Tilbury, founder of her eponymous makeup brand, was a partner for the event, as was Gucci.

Tilbury, who has been a partner for five years, expressed pride in supporting the Clooney Foundation for Justice. "This is the fifth year I have been an official partner for this remarkable evening, and it is an honour to use my global platform to celebrate and support the inspiring honourees of The Albies," she stated. "They show that courage, determination, and compassion can transform lives and communities."

This year's honorees included Kyrgyz journalists Bolot Temirov and Makhabat Tazhibek Kyzy, Malawian girls’ rights advocate Vanessa Mwangala, American photojournalist Lynsey Addario, Congolese organization Justice Plus, and Brad Smith, Vice Chair and President of Microsoft and a human rights advocate.
