Since Amal Clooney and George Clooney have reunited once again in their home of New York, the usually discreet and laidback—though never not glamorous—couple have been enjoying each other’s company and all that the glittering city has to offer. While Amal had jetted off to Cannes Film Festival and to Osaka, Japan for another glitzy engagement, George has been seeing out the final performances of his hit Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck.
The couple stepped out on Friday evening for dinner at Polo Bar in Midtown, bringing along their close friend Bono to third wheel and enjoy some steaks, clams oreganata, and good French wine. The trio looked to be in good spirits as they laughed and skipped through the streets.
It was one of the Clooneys more laidback of outfit choices: Amal wore a mesh cherry print strapless dress by Stella McCartney that touched her ankles and accessorizing with a black and pearlescent clutch bag and bronze pumps, as well as some dangly gold earrings. She also showed off some fairly new caramel highlights in her signature long brunette hair, worn flipped over in a deep side part. Her husband George, meanwhile, opted for a more casual navy suit with a black polo shirt underneath, black patent shoes, and a gray baseball cap. Bono stuck to his own decades-held style formula: An all-black suit and red-tinted circular sunglasses.

Amal Clooney and George Clooney and Bono—as well as his wife, Alison Hewson—have long been friends. Bono and Hewson were at the Clooney’s Venice-set wedding in 2014, and over the years, have celebrated birthdays together. In 2019, the Clooneys spent easter with them in Dublin. Of course, Amal and Bono share a passion for humanitarian work and activism.
The reason for Amal’s trip back to Cannes Film Festival—and her vintage, dress code defying look—was to support Bono at the premiere of his documentary, Stories of Surrender.
Earlier in the week, the Clooneys posed backstage at George’s show with friends including Nancy Pelosi, Tanya Taylor, Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, and Huma Abedin. Their looks for the occasion were typical of the Clooney style playbook: George in the classic black tuxedo and bow tie, and Amal in a slinky black one-shouldered dress. Her bronze pumps were worn on both occasions.
The high-powered lawyer and humanitarian and the Hollywood actor-director will have plenty of time for more date nights and opportunities to enjoy the city, now George’s play has just a week left of its run.
