Amal Clooney was dripping in diamonds in the Big Apple.
On Monday, April 27, the human rights lawyer, 48, appeared at the 51st Chaplin Award Gala alongside her husband George Clooney, who was being honored at the event. Amal opted for a purple Balenciaga peplum-style mini dress, which she teamed with a gold clutch bag and matching heels. George, 64, looked dapper in a black tuxedo.
The focal point of Amal’s ensemble was her jewelry: Cartier’s Panthère de Cartier earrings that retail for $124,000 and are set with four emeralds and a whopping 596 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 4.32 carats.
The couple posed for a series of photos on the red carpet before heading inside for the event, which recognizes an individual’s “significant contributions to the art of cinema,” per the Lincoln Center website.
The award is named after its first honoree, Charlie Chaplin, with all proceeds from the annual gala fundraiser “going to support our nonprofit organization’s mission to celebrate cinema as an essential art form and foster a vibrant home for film culture to thrive.”

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE on the red carpet, George shared that receiving the award and the attention that has come with it was “wild” and “a little embarrassing,” but “fun” at the same time.
“You don’t, you drink,” he joked about how he prepared for the evening. “I’m gonna have to start drinking soon.”

The actor also revealed that he doesn’t tend to watch his own films because it’s “hard” to see how he looked in his younger years, but made an exception to watch 2009’s Fantastic Mr. Fox with his and Amal’s children — twins Ella and Alexander, 8.
“It’s a weird thing. As you get older, it’s hard to watch movies when you were younger because you’re like, holy s—, that doesn’t even look like me anymore,” he told PEOPLE. “You know, I’m watching because I’ve got 8 year olds, I’m watching Fantastic Mr. Fox, which is a little easier because it’s not really me, it’s just my boys. And that’s kind of fun because the kids are slowly figuring out what I do for a living.”
At the gala, Amal also showed off her new spring hair refresh, which she debuted earlier this month at Cartier’s Women’s Initiative dialogue in Milan.
Inspired by Cartier’s iconic panther motif, celebrity hairstylist and colorist Dimitris Giannetos gave Amal “La Panthère highlights.” Her slightly shorter brunette locks feature a hint of golden highlights that frame her face.

“I wanted to subtly change Amal’s hair color and length,” Giannetos shared on Instagram. “La Panthère highlights are bold but at the same time look effortless and very elegant!”
The stylist added, “Amal has the most beautiful heart and she’s always the most caring person! She inspires me and always makes me think out of the box!”
