After vacationing in Lake Como for years, Amal and George Clooney seem to have adopted the Italian mentality of mixing business with pleasure. Ahead of the 81st Venice International Film Festival—where George and his longtime friend and co-star Brad Pitt will debut their crime thriller, Wolfs—the couple stepped out for a romantic double date with none other than Pitt and his date, Ines de Ramon.
Taking in the scenes of Venice in a picturesque taxi boat ride, the group was spotted waving to fans before arriving at a restaurant for dinner. Amal, for her part, embodied the cinematic appeal of the festival with a timeless black dress and statement-making jewelry. Putting a casual twist on the date night staple, her dress featured a plunging V-neck and a high-low hem, allowing sheer layers of fabric to flow behind her while she walked.
The human rights lawyer accessorized with a pair of dangling gold earrings, which boasted large green gemstones that nearly reached her shoulders. Several gold rings accented her fingers, while a chic red lipstick brought the starlet factor to her look once more.
Meanwhile, George looked dapper in his own date night look, wearing a navy suit and a crisp white button-up that accentuated his tan. As he disembarked the taxi boat—and, like a true gentleman, helped his wife step out—he did so in black patent leather loafers, adding a slick touch to his outfit.
Pitt chose a more contemporary ensemble, pairing a fitted white button-up with linen pants. The baggy white bottoms, accented with black stripes, pooled around a pair of unique white-and-brown snakeskin loafers. Several diamond bracelets, as well as a silver watch, decorated the actor’s wrists, while his fingers housed a number of silver rings. His date matched his style in a ruched black dress that hugged her curves, and complemented the look with a pair of simple black open-toed heels.
