Julia Roberts, the Pretty Woman long known as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, received the Academy Museum Gala Icon Award at the second annual Academy Museum Of Motion Pictures Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday.
George Clooney, who has starred alongside Roberts six times during their illustrious careers, and his elegant wife Amal Clooney were among the guests to attend the star-studded event.

Chic: Amal, a 44-year-old lawyer specializing in international law and human rights, was the picture of elegance in a two-tone lime green gown and matching heels

Amal, a 44-year-old lawyer specializing in international law and human rights, was the picture of elegance in a two-tone lime green gown and matching heels.
The Beirut, Lebanon native styled her dark brown tresses long and flowing down over part of her chest and the middle of her back with plenty of soft waves and curls.
Rounding out her overall look, Amal accessorized with plenty of bling, including dangling earrings, rings and a bracelet, all while she carried a silver clutch purse.
Considering they have starred together on six films, dating back to 2001, it's only fitting that the Clooneys watch Roberts accept the Icon Award in person.
Julia and George first met on the set of the popular heist caper film, Ocean's Eleven (2001), and became 'instant friends', according to the acclaimed actress during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

They actually played husband and wife in the Ocean's Eleven series that included the sequels Ocean's Twelve (2004) and Ocean's Thirteen (2007).
The two A-listers also starred together in the biographical spy film Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) and the crime thriller film Money Monster (2016).
And now, with the release of the new romantic comedy film Ticket To Paradise (2022) on October 21, that will make six films that Clooney and Roberts have shared screen time together.
In the new movie, the duo play two divorced parents, David and Georgia Cotton, who travel to Bali after learning that their daughter, Lily, is planning to marry a man named Gede, whom she has just met. They decide to work together to sabotage the wedding to prevent Lily from making the same mistake they made 25 years ago.
