Lookingvery much in love, George Clooney and wife Amal Alamuddin attended the 100Lives event in New York on Tuesday to commemorate the Armenian Genocide.
The very charitable actor helped launch the initiative and announced the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity honor, which will be given to those who put themselves at risk for others. His wife Amal also specializes in human rights, international law, criminal law and extradition, making this the perfect event for the socially and politically active couple.

Looking every bit the movie star, the brunette beauty wore a form-fitting indigo dress with sheer panels and embroidered side cut-outs as she watched her husband speak about the importance of getting involved with the organization.

"We really want people to get involved with 100LIVES, to celebrate those that overcome adversity and give back to others, justas the Armenian community is doing in this centenary year," he said."The humanity, generosity, strength and sacrifice shown by those who savedso many Armenians compel us to tell these stories."
