Charlize Theron’s Most Memorable Red Carpet Looks

Theron defies her age with this flawless, fresh, and youthful look. The midnight blue Dior dress is dusted with glitter and looks like a fading night sky – a gorgeous compliment to her fair and bright complexion.

This is her version of uptown sophisticate: a little bolder than you’€™d expect with an eye toward current trends. The peplum details at her hips help to add more curves to her already sensational figure.

Theron works couture beautifully in an understated way. She always wears the gown; the gown never wears her. This is a great example of her minimalist approach to experimental fashion.

She appears every inch the beguiling vixen in this flowing, sheer, black gown with cross-halter neckline. Theron opts for smoky makeup to match this sexy look.

A floor-sweeping gown of lace swirls makes Theron look so demure and dainty. Yet, the nude lining hints at what’s underneath, making this a little bit provocative as well.

After a flirtation with innocence, Theron is back in well-trod territory: minimalist meets racy. This daring off-shoulder dress skims her curves and the vertical cut-outs offer a glimpse of skin.

A no-nonsense ponytail, fresh makeup, and a crisp blue long-sleeve dress create a sporty looking Theron. She towers above the competition in a pair of six-inch ankle boots, completing her athlete/glamazon ensemble.

Theron is dressed to kill on the red carpet in a high-fashion gown. Even though it has a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, she still manages to look innocent and guileless.

Theron was fortunate to be born under the fire sign Leo, and she channels her inner lioness in this yellow dress and crimson lip combo.

Theron’€™s version of classy cocktail is a floor-length black gown with scalloped neckline. She tends to choose pieces that look timeless but that are trimmed in subtle ways with interesting, modern details.

A one-shoulder dress by Stella McCartney and cut-out ankle strap sandals make for a simple but very stylish red carpet statement.

Theron at perhaps her most brazen wears a fire-engine red leather frock that flatters and hugs her curves. One word on this: killer.

Theron experiments with masculine-influenced style with a tailored blazer and shorts, and yet she still looks every inch a woman.
