The stars gathered in spectacular style to celebrate the milestone anniversary of The King's Trust at Royal Albert Hall on Monday. Ahead of King Charles and Queen Camilla's arrival for the King's Trust Celebration, which marks 50 years of the charity's work supporting disadvantaged young people, George and Amal Clooney dazzled on the red carpet in their most glamorous attire.
The evening is in partnership with TK Maxx and recognises the achievements of young people supported by The King's Trust in the UK and around the world. Legendary British presenting duo, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, are stepping into the role of hosts for the night, as the anniversary celebrations will feature performances and an A-list lineup with the likes of rock legend Sir Rod Stewart, Jools Holland and singer Rita Ora.

The King's Trust
The Trust supports young people between the ages of 11 and 30 with courses on gaining life skills and accessing job opportunities. Over the past 50 years, the charity has helped more than 1.3 million young people across the UK, and has contributed at least £11.4 billion to society through its programmes.
The King spoke about the impact of his charity in a heartfelt video message filmed at Clarence House at the start of the year. "When I began what is now The King's Trust in 1976, I could not possibly have imagined the impact that it would have," he said in January.
He continued: "In the beginning, I hoped that by supporting young people to develop their latent skills and to find work or training, The Trust would perhaps be able to help change some individuals' lives for the better.
"Now, as you can perhaps imagine, I am so very pleased and proud that The Trust's work continues to go from strength to strength, having in that time helped over 1.3 million young people grow their confidence, continue in education, secure sustainable jobs and over 92,000 young people in the UK alone, having been supported to start a business, thus enabling them all to build brighter futures."
