Amal Clooney shows off her baby bump as she arrives at Paris event

Amal Clooney showed off her growing baby bump as she stepped onto the red carpet with George Clooney on Friday night. 

The British-Lebanese lawyer, who is expecting twins in the summer, posed with her husband they arrived for the 42nd edition of the Cesar Ceremony at the Salle Pleyel in Paris. 

Wearing a fitted, strapless white dress with an ombre train, the 39-year-old smiled for the camera and she larked about with the actor. 

The pair at times appeared deep in conversation as they affectionately hugged each other at the event. 

Their appearance comes after the actor spoke publicly about becoming a father, saying that he is not too daunted about the prospect of being an older dad.

The babies - the first for Hollywood star Clooney, 55, and his human rights barrister wife - are due this June.

"We are really happy and really excited. It's going to be an adventure. We've sort of embraced it all... with arms wide open," Clooney told the French programme Rencontres de Cinema.

The star said that thinking about French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo, who had a child with his second wife when he was 70, put a different spin on being an older father.

"So, I'm feeling a little better about being 56 by the time (the babies are born)," he said.

The Ocean's Eleven star said that his friends have grown-up children who are "away in college".

They told him: "'It's great, you're going to love it.' Then it got really quiet, and they all just started making baby crying noises. And the whole table just busted up laughing," he told the show.

Clooney and Amal married in Venice in September 2014.

US television show The Talk first reported the news of the pregnancy when host Julie Chen told viewers that "the twins are due this June".

Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z, who have a daughter, Blue Ivy, have also announced that they are expecting twins.
