Clooney, attended the night’s festivities in an ensemble that not only featured trouser pants with a sweeping overskirt with a sizable train, but also somehow combined metallic silver and a bold floral pattern in one look. She accessorized the dramatic formalwear with a high ponytail, dangling silver earrings, and the ultimate arm candy, her husband, [actor George Clooney](http://time.com/4920700/george-clooney-on-babies/). She co-chaired the event alongside _Vogue_ editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Donatella Versace, and Rihanna. The international human rights lawyer, who’s been noted for her sophisticated sense of style, opted to wear Richard Quinn for her ensemble that night, the dramatic floral pattern well within the gala’s theme of _Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination_.
