Charlize Theron has been blonde for most of her career, but truth be told, the Monster actress is a natural brunette. And just recently, she switched things up and tried a drastically different look for the summer.

The 46-year-old actress ditched her signature blonde bob for a dark brown mullet—that looked almost jet black—which she debuted at her annual Africa Outreach Project Summer Block Party held at the Universal Studios backlot in Los Angeles.

The trendy mullet hairstyle, created by Adir Abergel, features textured choppy layers with shaggy bangs and longer, shoulder-grazing layers in the back.

Letting her new ‘do stand out, the longtime face of the iconic J’adore Dior fragrance campaigns opted for a simple head-to-toe Dior ensemble for the event.

She tucked a $1,350 white cotton-poplin blouse with plastron into a pair of high-waisted boyfriend jeans and finished the business-casual look with black leather pointed-toe pumps.

She slipped her feet into the sophisticated and contemporary Dior “Attract” pumps, which retail for $890. They feature a diamond toe and a 4-inch heel with Dior’s lucky star symbol on the leather sole.

Injecting a hint of edge to the look, the wealthy actress accessorized with Tiffany & Co. jewelry.

She wore a pair of $14,500 Link Earrings in white gold with pave diamonds, multiple stud earrings, a $2,600 Graduated Link necklace peeking from underneath her collar, Tiffany T1 rings, and a diamond tennis bracelet.

Carrying a $1,750 Dior “Caro” belt pouch, Theron added a hint of makeup to her look with subtle smokey eyeshadow, mascara, and matching lipstick.
