George and Amal Clooney scored some goals while visiting Washington this weekend for the 2022 Kennedy Center Honors ceremony.
George, who was one of the honorees, appeared to help his wife avoid a potential red carpet mishap by undoing the cape of her Valentino gown as the couple arrived at a gala dinner early Saturday night at the Kennedy Center Honors.
The photos show Amal, a prominent and accomplished human rights lawyer, looking playfully distressed as George comes to her aid.

A two-time Academy Award winner, George has been honored for his artistic achievements. His parents, Nick and Nora, were among those present at the ceremony.
In a written statement, the actor called the recognition “a very emotional surprise for the entire Clooney family.”
“Growing up in a small town in Kentucky, I never imagined I’d be the one standing in the Kennedy Center Honors balcony,” he told ABC News. “To be mentioned along with the rest of these incredible artists is an honor.”
