For power couple George and Amal Clooney, a trip to Rome would be amiss without stopping to say hello to some famous friends. On Sunday, the pair met with the Holy Father for a special awards ceremony where George and fellow actors Richard Gere and Salma Hayek were honored.

The Clooneys attended Pope Francis' Un Muro o Un Ponte Seminary at Paul VI Hall, where George was awarded a medal for his work with Scholas Occurrentes, a papal organization that "links technology with the arts, aiming at social integration and a cultural of peace," Reuters reports.

The couple is a known supporter of human rights and equality, especially Amal, who is a human rights lawyer. Her past humanitarian work includes launching a scholarship for Lebanese girls, speaking out about the crisis in the Maldives, and discussing the migrant crisis with Germany's Angela Merkel.

But at the Vatican, she reminded us of her rising style icon status, too. Amal dressed for the occasion in a quarter-length sleeved black lace dress by Atelier Versace, topped with a matching retro-inspired hat and a nude clutch and pumps.

In fact, their entire Italian getaway was full of some of Amal's best sartorial moments. She reprised her '60s-inspired moment with a Jackie O-themed neutral ensemble during the trip.
