Barbara Walters unveiled her 10 Most Fascinating People list for 2014 on December 15, with George Clooney’s new wife Amal Alamuddin on the top.
Now Amal Clooney, the 36-year-old from Beirut, Lebanon is a barrister at Doughty Street Chambers in London, specializing in international law and human rights. Her clients have included Julian Assange and Kofi Annan.
ABC noted that George Clooney had told Walters in 1995 that “I’m never going to get married again,” and apparently women never brought up the subject because they had seen the interview.
But Amal finally got one of the world’s most famous bachelors to settle down.
“Walters called the wedding perfect -- from Amal’s bespoke hat to the spectacular wedding dress designed by the late Oscar De La Renta,” ABC reported.
“With her marriage to Clooney, Walters says, Amal joins the ranks of Jackie Onassis, Princess Diana and Kate Middleton -- everything she does, says or wears is officially... fascinating.”
