Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon join Clooneys at London human rights awards

Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Ines de Ramon stepped onto the red carpet together in London on Friday night for the fifth annual Albie Awards — one of the couple's more visible joint appearances since they were first linked in late 2022.

Held at the Natural History Museum and hosted by comedian Graham Norton, the ceremony was established by George and Amal Clooney to, in their words, 'shine a protective spotlight on courageous justice defenders who are at risk, sending a message to those who abuse human rights that the world is watching.' According to Yahoo News, Pitt dressed in a traditional black tuxedo, while de Ramon, an executive at a jewelry brand, chose a sheer lace gown that fell off the shoulder over a nude underlay, featuring visible corset boning and shimmering sequin detail.

Amal Clooney, a human-rights lawyer, arrived hand-in-hand with George in a gold Gucci off-the-shoulder gown. Other attendees included Hugh Bonneville, Richard Kind, Laura Dern, Isla Fisher, Charlotte Tilbury, Hannah Waddingham, Dominic West, Bianca Jagger, and Emma Thompson, who brought her daughter Gaia Wise.

Named after Justice Albie Sachs, an anti-apartheid hero who took home a lifetime achievement award at the first ceremony in 2022, the awards are described on the Clooney Foundation for Justice website. Among this year's recipients were Kyrgyz journalists Bolot Temirov and Makhabat Tazhibek Kyzy, Malawian women's rights advocate Vanessa Mwangala, and American photojournalist Lynsey Addario.

This year's Albie honourees embody the values at the heart of our foundation. Through these awards, we want them, and everyone advocating for justice around the globe, to know that the world is watching and that they are not alone.— George and Amal Clooney, co-founders, Clooney Foundation for Justice

For Pitt and de Ramon, Friday's appearance is part of a pattern of increasingly public outings. The pair were first photographed together at a Bono concert in Los Angeles in November 2022, attended the British Grand Prix in July 2024, and made their formal red-carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival premiere of Wolfs — alongside the Clooneys — shortly after. According to Yahoo News, their 2026 public appearances have included Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding in New York City, the French Open, and the World Cup.

Ines definitely makes Brad happy. The reality is that the last few years, Brad has really spent a lot of time filming, and so when there is a break and an opportunity to live life and attend more events, like the World Cup, to enjoy things a little bit in between, they take it.— An unnamed friend of the couple, as told to HELLO!

The Clooney Foundation for Justice, a co-founder of the Albies, offers free legal aid in support of free speech and women's rights. The inaugural ceremony in 2022 was held at the New York Public Library and attended by Meryl Streep, John Oliver, Julia Roberts, Dua Lipa, and Bruce Springsteen, among others.

Why it matters — The Albie Awards are one of the higher-profile annual fundraisers for human rights legal defence, and the celebrity attendance — including Pitt's rare red-carpet appearance — draws global attention to the honourees' work.
