Charlize Theron masterfully blended avant-garde detail with classic red-carpet glamour at the Los Angeles premiere of The Huntsman: Winter’s War on April 11, 2016.
Attending the event at the Regency Village Theatre, the actress opted for a sophisticated ensemble that featured a unique, insect-themed twist—a nod to her character Queen Ravenna’s dark aesthetic.

Her look centered around a sleek black midi-length dress from Dior’s Spring 2016 collection. The dress featured a one-shoulder silhouette and a sheer side panel intricately embellished with bejeweled insect appliqués.
To maintain a balanced profile, Theron paired the detailed garment with minimalist accessories and a classic pair of red-soled Christian Louboutin heels.
