Lake Como might be known for its jaw-dropping views, but this week, all eyes were on George and Amal Clooney.
The power couple turned heads once again—this time not just for their Hollywood glamor, but for a stunning philanthropic event that combined luxury, purpose, and their signature style.
Amal Shines in Fuchsia While George Keeps It Classic
Stepping out in serious style on Wednesday evening, Amal and George Clooney looked every bit the A-list duo as they set off for a dinner soirée with a select group of guests.
Amal, 47, wore a striking fuchsia gown that flowed effortlessly with every step—complete with a high slit, an elegant bow detail, a sparkling gold clutch, and a bouquet of pink flowers to match.
George, 64, complemented his wife’s vibrant look with classic cool: a tailored grey suit, crisp shirt, and signature aviator sunglasses.
The two walked arm-in-arm toward a boat that would take them—and their lucky guests—to the evening’s exclusive dinner at the picturesque Villa Passalacqua.
A Luxury Dinner with a Purpose
This wasn’t just any night out. The Clooneys were hosting part of an elite four-day experience organized by the Clooney Foundation for Justice.
Designed as a high-end getaway with a charitable core, the event promises guests a mix of breathtaking Lake Como views, intimate conversations with the Clooneys, and a mission-driven itinerary aimed at global change.
Only 16 people were invited to attend, making it one of the most exclusive events of the summer.
But exclusivity comes at a price—the cost to attend reportedly starts at €100,000 (around £87,000) per person.
While rumors swirled about a much higher price tag, organizers confirmed the price sits comfortably in the six-figure range.
A Taste of Italy Like No Other
For those able to foot the bill, the four-day experience is packed with once-in-a-lifetime luxuries.
Think fine wines, gourmet dining, sweeping lakefront views, and the kind of access to George and Amal Clooney that money usually can’t buy.
The gathering includes a welcome reception, a sun-soaked garden party hosted by the couple themselves, and dinners at world-famous landmarks like Villa del Balbianello—a film location for Star Wars: Episode II and Casino Royale—and the grand Teatro Sociale di Como, where guests will enjoy live performances under the stars.
A Stay Fit for Royalty
The group is staying at Villa Passalacqua, an 18th-century estate that has been transformed into one of Lake Como’s most luxurious hotels.
The property’s most opulent suite—the Bellini—costs a jaw-dropping €12,000 per night, making it a perfect match for the caliber of the experience.
But what sets this trip apart from other luxury vacations is its purpose: raising funds for the Clooney Foundation for Justice, which fights for press freedom, provides legal aid for wrongly imprisoned journalists, and supports women’s rights organizations around the world.
Art, Music, and a Mission to Change the World
According to organizers, the experience is designed to blend art, storytelling, and justice.
Throughout the four days, guests are treated to live performances that celebrate creative expression as a force for social good—an approach that mirrors Amal’s work as a world-renowned human rights lawyer.
It’s not just about the wine pairings or scenic dinners—this is about inspiring change and conversation in a setting that invites reflection, luxury, and purpose all at once.
Life at the Clooney Estate
George and Amal have long called Villa Oleandra—their estate in the town of Laglio—their home away from home.
Purchased in 2002 from the Heinz family for a reported $10 million, the villa has since ballooned in value to well over $100 million (£75 million).
With centuries-old charm, lush gardens, and lakeside views, it’s no wonder they return each summer.
The couple shares their life between this Italian retreat, a countryside home in England, and a chateau in Provence, France—often accompanied by their eight-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander.
The Clooneys Keep Raising the Bar
Whether it’s on the red carpet or at a human rights conference, Amal Clooney never misses a moment to make a statement.
Known as much for her style as her legal acumen, Amal continues to blend beauty and brilliance in everything she does—and George? He’s the perfect partner in both charm and mission.
Together, they’re redefining what it looks like when celebrity, luxury, and global justice collide.
