George and Amal Clooney were every inch the Hollywood power couple as they stepped out at the premiere of his new dramedy, Jay Kelly.
The couple, who have been married for 11 years and share eight-year-old twins Ella and Alexander, posed up a storm on the red carpet.
While George, 64, looked as suave as ever in a smart midnight blue tuxedo, he was outshone by his human rights lawyer wife, 47.
Amal was a vision in a red mini dress featuring a velvet top and skirt featuring 80s inspired 3D floral detailing and a thigh-skimming hemline.
George plays movie star Jay Kelly in the upcoming Netflix film opposite Adam Sandler, who portrays Kelly's dedicated manager Ron.

The comedy icon ditched his typical quirky style for a smartened-up red carpet look, consisting of a slick suit and glossy footwear.
He was joined by his wife, Jackie Sandler, 51, and their two daughters, Sunny, 16, and Sadie, 19.
Riley wowed in a gorgeous black tiered dress with sexy leg skit and dazzling accents along the bust and waist. 
Laura Dern also sported an edgy all-black look, an enchanting lace dress with matching cape. 
While Amal was present to support her husband, she has long been known for her prestigious law career - which has seen her represent several high-profile clients, including former Maldivian president Mohamed Nasheed and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. 
The Beirut-born star, who moved to the UK when she was two to escape the Lebanese War, is an adjunct law professor at Columbia Law School and a Visiting Professor of Practice at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford.
Jay Kelly sees George taking on the role of a movie star who 'always plays himself'.
In the first trailer for the film the Oscar winner is seen questioning his life choices, despite being fawned over by fans and staff.

Amal gave a wave to fans as she walked down the NYC pavement 
On a trip to an Italian film festival in his honour, joined by his manager played by Adam Sandler, he's hailed as the 'hero of cinema' before being brutally asked about always playing himself.
To which he snaps back: 'You know how difficult it is to be yourself? You try it'.
George's character is seen continually reminding himself that he is 'Jay Kelly' as he and his pal embark on a whirlwind trip through Europe as it appears the glamour of showbiz has lost its appeal.
The movie is directed by Greta's husband and fellow Barbie scribe Noah Baumbach, who wrote the script alongside British actress Emily Mortimer.
The official synopsis reads: 'Two middle-aged friends rediscover their youthful spirit during a chaotic weekend reunion, facing hilarious mishaps and heartfelt moments that force them to finally grow up'.

George has had an illustrious career spanning 40 years, in which he's bagged an Academy Award for his role in Syriana in addition to a wealth of other accolades. 
But during a recent interview with Variety, the Ocean's 11 star was asked about the doubts about his range as an actor, with George furiously snapping back: 'Do people say that I only play myself? I don’t give a sh*t.'
He went on: 'There aren’t that many guys in my age group that are allowed to do both broad comedies like O Brother [Where Art Though?] and then do Michael Clayton or Syriana. So if that means I’m playing myself all the time, I don’t give a sh*t.'
Echoing a quote from his character in upcoming project Jay Kelly, he added: Have you ever tried playing yourself? It’s hard to do.'
The Hollywood hunk continued: 'I’ve been the beneficiary of having my career not be massively successful in lots of different directions. I didn’t really get successful, in the kind of success that can be blinding, until I was 33 years old [when ER began]. I’d been working for 12 years at that point. I had a real understanding of how fleeting all of it is and how little it has to do with you, quite honestly.' 
Jay Kelly will be released in select theaters on November 14 before being available for streaming on Netflix on December 5.

PigPen - I can't say I like any of the dresses, but hers is the worst. She's too old for a dress that short - and it makes her legs look like sticks! I'm surprised by the lapse in taste.
