Charlize Theron delivered another unforgettable fashion moment as she walked the red carpet at the Paris premiere of Christopher Nolan’s film. Odyssey.
The 50-year-old actress looked sensational in a delicate black and white Christian Dior gown, combining romantic lace with a dramatically bold silhouette.
Held up by barely-there spaghetti straps, the floor-length dress featured an extremely plunging neckline that reached to the waist, while plunging side cutouts and sheer panels added a striking effect.

The intricate fabric glided over Charlize’s slender figure before evolving into a flowing asymmetrical skirt made of contrasting panels of black and ivory lace.
Turning around for photographers, the Oscar winner showed off the dress’s completely open back and dainty black bustle at the waist, which gave the ethereal design an unexpected theatrical edge.
Charlize let the statement dress take center stage while keeping the rest of her look sleek and understated. Her blonde hair was neatly parted down the middle and pulled back into a low, wet-looking ponytail that cascaded down her back.
