High-profile human rights lawyer Amal Clooney attended the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony at City Hall in Oslo, Norway on Monday night.

Amal Clooney was surrounded by peers and those of a similar mindset as she attended the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony 2018 at the City Hall in Oslo.

She stepped out to support joint awardees, Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad, both of whom work towards ending sexual violence as a weapon of war.

Clooney opted for a “bright and bold tweed co-ordinate set” by Oscar de la Renta for the ceremony, according to the Daily Mail. The ensemble featured a belted wool-blend tweed peplum jacket and a matching tweed skirt.
