The red carpet looks have returned among celebrities at the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony in Washington, D.C.

Last night, on December 4, stars gathered at the White House to commemorate 45 honorees, including George Clooney, Amy Grant, Bono, Gladys Knight, and Tania Léon, for their lifetime artistic achievements in American culture. "Growing up in a small town in Kentucky I could never have imagined that someday I'd be the one sitting in the balcony at the Kennedy Center Honors," Clooney said, per ABC News. "To be mentioned in the same breath with the rest of these incredible artists is an honor. This is a genuinely exciting surprise for the whole Clooney family."

For the grand occasion, celebrities brought their elegance (and humor) on the carpet in a series of memorable ensembles, including Amal Clooney's sequined Valentino look and Julia Robert's gown covered in pictures of George Clooney.

Ahead, see all the red-carpet looks from honorees and supporting celebrity attendees.
