From gala looks to her recent Cannes Film Festival dress-code-breaking style, Clooney goes all out on the red carpet—and looks good doing it. And her appearance at the Tony Awards was no different. At this year's 78th annual Tony Awards, held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on June 8, Clooney walked the red carpet in an Old Hollywood–style pearl-adorned dress with a big, glam blowout to match.
Though she was there to support husband George Clooney, who was nominated for best performance by an actor in a leading role in a play for his performance as Edward Murrow in Good Night, and Good Luck (it was also his Broadway debut!), Amal Clooney really stole the show.
We've been saying that super-long waves are back for the season, and based on last night's look, it looks as though Clooney is on board with it too. Channeling 1940s actor Rita Hayworth, celebrity hairstylist and colorist Dimitris Giannetos created her glamorous look for the evening. 'Inspired by the pearls [on her dress] and Old Hollywood dress, I wanted to give her classic Rita Hayworth glam,' Giannetos said in a press release. And that he did: Clooney walked the carpet with big, bouncy, and loose waves, showing off some bronde highlights to brighten things up around her face. Her hair's slight side part further let her inner Rita Hayworth shine through.
To get the look, he 'started with towel-dried hair and blow-dried it using a round brush to create volume,' Giannetos explained in the release. Then, 'I placed her hair in rollers and let them set.' He left the rollers in until her makeup was done. The longer you leave hair rollers in, the curlier your hair will look and the longer-lasting the waves will be.
'Once makeup was done, I removed the rollers and brushed out her hair using a paddle brush,' Giannetos further explained. 'To hold the style and keep everything frizz-free for the red carpet, I finished with plenty of L'Oréal Paris Elnett Hairspray.' He didn't say exactly which Elnett spray he used, but we love the original scented version of the hairspray (if you want to wear a perfume or hair mist, opt for the unscented one).

Usually celebs have separate hair and makeup artists to do their glam before an event, but Clooney kept things streamlined and simple for the Tony Awards. Giannetos was on double duty last night—not only did he create that Old Hollywood hair, but he also did her makeup in between.
So while her hair was setting in rollers, he went in with Charlotte Tilbury products to complete the vintage glam look. 'The vibe we were going for was a soft Old Hollywood glamour with neutral coral tones,' Giannetos said in the release. After her skin was prepped with products, including editor-loved Charlotte's Magic Cream, he used Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation and Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, among other makeup products, for a radiant, healthy glow that lasted Clooney all night.

George Clooney shows off hair transformation at Tony Awards: 'I had to cut it out'

George Clooney is back to his silver fox self. The "Good Night, and Good Luck" star, who was nominated at the 78th annual Tony Awards on June 8, returned to his signature salt-and-pepper hairdo, as seen by Clooney's red-carpet appearance with wife Amal Clooney. The Oscar-winning actor had previously dyed his hair black for his starring role as CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow in the Broadway play. "I had to cut it all out with a weed whacker to get it all," Clooney told E! News. "That black hair dye, I had to cut it out. You can't color that." Despite the hairy ordeal, Clooney, 64, and Amal made a stylish splash on the Tony Awards carpet. The "ER" alum evoked Hollywood heartthrob vibes in a classic black-and-white tuxedo, while Amal, 47, stunned in a white, off-the-shoulder frock. The actor, who was up for best leading actor in a play for his portrayal of Murrow, joked about the lukewarm reception of his darker hair in an April interview with "CBS Mornings." Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. "It's not my favorite look, and my wife, she thinks it's funny," Clooney said at the time. "Honestly, nothing makes you look older than being 63 and dyeing your hair." Just like the closing night of "Good Night, and Good Luck," which took place the same day as the Tonys, Clooney's brunette era was bound to have its final bow. The actor hinted at his hair transformation in a June 3 interview on "Late Night with Seth Meyers." "We do a matinee, and then by the time we go to the Tonys that night, it'll be gone," Clooney told Meyers. "I may have a shaved head."

'Harry Potter' actor stands by JK Rowling at Tony Awards amid criticism of her transgender views

"Harry Potter" actor Tom Felton defended JK Rowling at Sunday night's Tony Awards after being asked about the fierce liberal backlash she's received for her views on gender and biology. The British actor was on the red carpet at the awards show Sunday, where he was interviewed by Variety about reprising his film role as Draco Malfoy in the Broadway play, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." The play, based off an original story co-authored by Rowling, takes place 19 years after the final "Harry Potter" novel. Felton was asked if the controversy surrounding Rowling's transgender views had affected his work at all, which he denied. Rowling has been a strong advocate for single-sex spaces for women and has repeatedly been labeled as transphobic by far-left activists. John Lithgow Shocked By Backlash He Got From Pro-trans Activists Over Joining New 'Harry Potter' Series "No, I can't say that it does. I'm not really that attuned to it," Felton said before praising the series' author. Read On The Fox News App "The only thing I always remind myself is that I've been lucky enough to travel the world — here I am in New York — and I have not seen anything bring the world together more than 'Potter,'" Felton explained to Variety. "And she's responsible for that, so I'm incredibly grateful." Felton previously expressed his admiration for the author in a 2022 interview as she faced criticism from transgender activists for her views. "I am quick to remind myself and others that 'Potter,' for some reason, has brought more people together across the world and more generations than probably anything else has in the past 20 years, and I'm quick to celebrate that," he told The Times of London in a 2022 interview. "It came from one person, and that's her, so I'm very grateful." Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture Rowling's hugely popular book series, which launched the hit film franchise which Felton starred in, has not lost its appeal with fans. Beyond the Broadway play, the series is also being adapted into an upcoming HBO television series. Felton shared his excitement at reprising his Potter role all these years later with his Broadway debut. "I think we all thought that the fandom flame might be doused over the years, but clearly it's not," he said Sunday. "The most exciting part is to do it live. It took nine months, more or less, to shoot a film, and this is all compact. This is all reimagined into a very loving, new type of story. And I get to be a dad, which is really fun."Original article source: 'Harry Potter' actor stands by JK Rowling at Tony Awards amid criticism of her transgender views

Scott Pelley and Anderson Cooper Discuss CBS News' Potential Settlement With Donald Trump

On Saturday night, CNN aired a special live presentation of George Clooney's Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck to a global audience. After the performance, CNN anchor and 60 Minutes correspondent Anderson Cooper had a wide-ranging interview with fellow CBS News colleague Scott Pelley, who shared his thoughts regarding the Eye Network's potential settlement with President Donald Trump. Asked by Cooper if the network would be damaged should Trump successfully demand an apology as part of the settlement, Pelley replied: 'It will be very damaging to CBS, to Paramount, to the reputation of those companies.' 'You really wish the top echelons of the company would come out publicly and say, '60 Minutes is a crown jewel of American journalism, and we stand by it 100%,' Pelley added. 'I haven't heard that." Pelley noted that he hasn't any restrictions placed on his reporting by CBS News management or anyone from outside the network. 'while I would like to have that public backing, maybe the more important thing is the work is still getting on the air,' he mused. As CBS News' parent company, Paramount Global, awaits regulatory approval to complete its merger with Skydance Media this year, the network has faced political pressure from the Trump administration concerning its news content, particularly 60 Minutes. The fallout of this pressure led to the departures of former president and CEO Wendy McMahon and longtime 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens, who resigned from his position in April, citing a loss of journalistic independence. CNN's airing of Good Night, and Good Luck was the penultimate performance of the Tony-nominated play, with Clooney playing legendary CBS News broadcaster Edward R. Murrow during the McCarthy era. The network's 'pregame' special coverage was anchored by Pamlea Brown, joined by special guests of the Broadway production as well as the network's chief media analyst Brian Stelter.
