aleXsandro PalomboOne year ago, Amal Alamuddin probably couldn't have guessed that she'd now be married to George Clooney. She probably didn't predict, either, that her wedding day would get The Simpsons treatment!
But look where we are now! aleXsandro Palombo, a contemporary artist and activist, "Simpsonized" the bride and groom—giving Amal, 36, a cartoon Oscar de la Renta dress, and George, 53, an animated Armani tux.
The illustrations, posted to Humorchic, depict George and Amal (looking more like Homer and Marge than their glamorous selves!) making their way through Venice's Grand Canal (that's a long way from Springfield) in their wedding attire and a series of other outfits.
The cream Stella McCartney pantsuit and matching hat that Amal wore to the couple's civil ceremony gets the cartoon treatment, too, as does the sexy red dress she wore for her bachelorette party!
Mrs. Clooney is famous now, but she was a star in her own right long before George came into the picture! The Lebanon-born, London-raise human rights lawyer is well-accomplished and respected in her field, and it's obvious she's got class and good looks just like her hubby. According to close friend Jae Kim, though, Amal worried about ever finding her Mr. Right.
"[We] stayed up talking late into the night about relationships and whether she would ever meet her partner in life," Jae said in a wedding toast, via People magazine.
"She had just been picked the Hottest Barrister in London, and I was concerned that this would not work in her favor, as most men found her intimidating already," Amal's pal admitted. "The list of things she was looking for in this man, she readily admitted, could not realistically be found in one person...She was looking for Mr. Perfect, and he was nowhere to be found."
Ah, but he found her! Amal's pal said she'd "never seen her smile like that" before meeting George, gushing that the couple's love "is nothing short of a fairy tale."
Let that be a lesson, ladies and gents: Don't settle! Your Clooney will come.
