She was dressed for success in a custom Christian Dior Spring 2020 black leather dress, which features delicate embroidery and mesh cutout detailing.

The edgy sleeveless number also has racer-back straps, black leather lining for coverage, a waist-cinching belt, and a sheer skirt that gave a glimpse of Charlize’s legs.

Adding an edgier detail to the look, the Monster actress debuted a new hair color done by Tracey Cunningham, while celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel swept back her pixie do.

“Always love changing up this human’s hair. New color. Swept back. New vibe,” Abergel captioned his Instagram post introducing Theron’s modern pixie cut hairstyle.

Make-up artist Kate Lee finished Charlize’s beauty look with simple makeup, including defined eyebrows, pink lipstick, and soft blush.

The actress teamed her Fall 2019 look with Harry Kotlar stud earrings and rings by Ame, Djula and Le Vian.

A pair of studded heels from the luxury fashion house’s Fall 2019 collection rounded out her look.

Her emerald green pedicure was on display in these sandals. They feature thick ankle straps with buckle fastenings, 1.5-inch metal-studded platforms, and 5-inch chunky block heels.
