George Clooney, 63, made a stylish return to his signature silver hair at the 2025 Tony Awards, months after facing online ridicule for a dark brown dye job. The actor attended the ceremony with his wife, Amal Clooney, 47, who turned heads in a white beaded gown and coordinating accessories. [Image: George and Amal on the red carpet]

From Mockery to Triumph
Earlier this year, Clooney dyed his hair for his role as journalist Edward R. Murrow in the Broadway adaptation of his 2005 film Good Night, and Good Luck. The drastic change sparked social media jokes, with critics comparing it to a "black Sharpie" and claiming it aged him. During a CBS Mornings interview, Clooney laughed off the backlash: “I know it’s not good! My wife thinks it’s funny, and the kids laugh.” He added, “Nothing makes you look older than being 63 and dying your hair.” [Image: Clooney’s dyed look in May]

Though his performance earned a Tony nomination for Best Actor in a Play, he lost to Cole Escola’s breakout role in Oh, Mary!. Escola, who uses they/them pronouns, also wrote the acclaimed comedy. [Image: Escola accepting their award]

Amal stole the spotlight in a sleek white ensemble, accessorized with Roger Vivier heels and a marble clutch. The couple, married since 2014 and parents to twins Ella and Alexander, 8, shared a tender kiss on the red carpet. [Image: Amal’s elegant details]
