Now that we've hit December, the red lips are set to be out in full force, and international human rights lawyer Amal Clooney is leading the way.
The 45-year-old looked categorically glamorous on Sunday evening as she attended the London screening of The Boys in the Boat, an upcoming biographical sports drama directed by her husband George Clooney.
A spot of rain didn't dampen the A-list couple's spirits, and George chivalrously held an umbrella over his wife to protect her picture-perfect beauty look from the drizzle.

Amal injected the red carpet with a dose of festive glam, opting for a statement red lip.

Amal's go-to beauty guru lined her pout with Charlotte Tilbury's Lip Cheat in the shade 'Walk Of No Shame' and rouged her lips with the brand's Limitless Lucky lipstick in the aptly named 'Cherry Dream'.
The high-impact shade felt rich and standout, the matte finish giving Amal's lips a certain hazy softness, which paired beautifully with her plush velvet outfit.
