International human rights lawyer Amal Clooney joined her husband George on the red carpet at the 69th annual Cannes Film Festival this morning (NZ time) for the premiere of his movie Money Monster.

The 38-year-old attorney looked stunning in Grecian-style lemon chiffon dress with daring thigh-high splits.

She struggled with the flowing train of her gown when she arrived at the Palais des Festivals et des Congres and walked up the steps to join George and his castmates, including Julia Roberts and Jodie Foster.
