That yellow dress! Married to George (who looks fun), lovely babies, clever, great career, estate in Buckinghamshire. Looks happy.

Bah. Envy

I don't think I'd fancy being in Amal Clooney's shoes. But people value different things, I guess.

It's a contract marriage and they don't live together.

SoapOnARoap · 19/05/2018 13:58

She is stunning

DelphiniumBlue · 19/05/2018 14:03

Whatever's going on, she looked great, relaxed and happy.

MarshaBradyo Friends who know told me the same thing.

DuchyDuke No he wouldn't have married a waitress! Amal may be a leading Human Rights lawyer but no-one knew her before George came into her life. That marriage is a quid pro quo I'm guessing

Pengggwn · 19/05/2018 14:11

I doubt he needs a 'beard'. He isn't a leading man anymore. Nobody would have give a shit if he was gay.

If she was a beard he’d now be coming out to resurrect interest and double the roles he’s offered!

MarshaBradyo · 19/05/2018 14:14

It depends ends what he wants to do next

I still think there’s not much in it for her, is fame enough

Pengggwn · 19/05/2018 14:18

And obviously, not everyone has a binary sexuality - he could be both or neither.

Ds2 used to work with her. He says she is extremely clever, and stunning in the flesh, she is also very nice and quite humble.
DS reckons that George is the lucky one!

UrsulaPandress · 19/05/2018 14:32

I've had Amal envy since she 'first' appeared in the press.

Dandeliontea123 · 19/05/2018 14:34

I wish I could pull of that shade of yellow! She looked stunning.

Dandeliontea123 · 19/05/2018 14:35

*pull off

Have Amal Clooney and Maureen Lipman ever been seen in the same room?

CuntinuousMingeprovement · 19/05/2018 16:42

No idea who might be whose beard here, but if George were looking for a match based on factors other than love, Amal brought plenty to the table herself. Oodles of intellectual and professional cultural capital.

PaintedHorizons · 19/05/2018 18:22

Agree. V few people can wear yellow of any shade - I look ill in yellow - but she really does look stunning in it.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 19/05/2018 18:30

I think she looks like a Joan Crawford

I am somewhat in awe of her. I've no idea where she finds the energy to keep all those plates spinning.

Her eye for clothes is stunning. And very few people can carry off that shade of yellow. I'd love to be able to wear that but would look like i needed to be hospitalised

Grin

AND I bet she's got an "ology".

Mabeldidit · 19/05/2018 18:50

Such a contrast between Amal and George wandering along relaxed, chatting and smiling then the beckhams behind looking awkward with V trying to grab David's hand.

SuperSuperSuper · 19/05/2018 18:56

I remember the Beckhams' engagements pics 20 years ago - they were both so vibrant and smiley and clearly genuinely in love. It's all gone so wrong. Is "the brand" really worth it? He's probably sexting some model from the wedding reception right now.

MiggeldyHiggins · 19/05/2018 19:26

It's a shame people don't admire intellectual, scientists, writers or people who work at their careers rather than a bunch of nobodies that pop up on Made in Chelsea and shag on Big Brother. Rant over

Plenty of us do Hmm

WhatAMessTheBad · 19/05/2018 19:28

I thought she was a transvestite, then my friends told me who s/he was.

Awks · 19/05/2018 19:29

I knew she reminded me of someone and yes it's Maureen Lipman 😂😂😂

BinG0wings123 · 19/05/2018 19:37

She gets to shag George.
I hate her.
