Charlize Theron in a little black Dior at a ‘Young Adult’ screening: pretty or boring?

Here are some photos of Charlize Theron (and Elizabeth Reaser) at the Friday screening of Young Adult. Charlize is in Dior, because she’s the face of the brand and she’s shown the brand a lot of loyalty, even after John Galliano had his anti-Semitic episode and he was subsequently fired. Thoughts on the little black dress? As I rule, I don’t care for boob ruffled, but it’s pretty. On Charlize, it’s kind of boring, right? Charlize is so pretty and she’s got that amazing body, but she has not been wowing me recently, not even with her casual clothes. What is the promotional tour for Young Adult going to be like? Like this boringness?

My concern for her fashion is because I’m starting to get the feeling that Charlize is going to get a lot of attention for Young Adult. First of all, she rarely does comedies, if ever. Secondly, Charlize rarely does movies that people really want to see. She does so many serious dramas and depressing-looking films, and Young Adult sees her join forces with Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman, the pair that brought us Juno. I just think that this will be a hit movie for Charlize, and she might even get nominated for some awards. So she needs to bring it, fashion-wise. Here’s the Young Adult trailer once again:

    I really love Charlize and I can’t wait to see Young Adult. Why does she have to ruin it all by wearing Galliano?

  2. theaPie says:

    Ooh. Very meh. I like it when paired with the jacket though.

  3. NM9005 says:

    Love her shoes! I don’t know, I think Charlize can make a paper bag look fashionable! I for one, love her style. Always (like SJP). She always brings it even when it’s a fail. Maybe I can’t “judge” her objectively =).

  4. Alix says:

    Gawd, she’s a dead ringer for the Princess of Monaco.

  5. Bite me says:

    Charlize mouth looks weird

  6. Rita says:

    My take on Charlize is that she’s not fashion-obsessed. I’ve never really seen her “putting out” like so many red carpet wantabes do (“putting out” fashionwise that is).

    She’s beautiful and exceptionally talented but seems frustrated at the roles available to her so she just throws something on that always looks nice and makes an appearance.

    • Kimbob says:

      Yes, yes @Rita. I very much agree!

      Also, from watching the trailer I like it how she’s not “over-reaching” in her acting. Kind of like she’s hitting the mark by being subtle..which I like.

  7. lillifee says:

    she is soooooooo pretty. i want to hug her all day

  8. Marjalane says:

    She does look pretty, but I’m seeing quite a bit of recent face filler; Her smile looks funky. I’m looking forward to this movie- Charlize does a great bitch.

    • CeCe says:

      She does a great bitch because from what I’ve read she IS a bitch in real life, apparently she can give Julia Roberts a run for her money!…..however, with that being said she is a great actress and I hope she is the one who plays Princess Grace in the bio pic..

  9. HotPockets says:

    I kind of feel indifferent towards this movie, as pretty as Charlize is, she just doesn’t have that comedic timing and always looks so vacant in the eyes. She has the same dead eyes as Prince Albert’s wife.

  10. Kimbob says:

    Thanks for providing the trailer for Young Adult. This is going to be a must see movie for me, that’s for sure. The movie looks VERY INTERESTING!

    As far as Charlize in the little black Dior dress? Well, OF COURSE SHE ROCKS IT! I seriously cannot see how anyone could even UTTER the words “boring” and “Charlize Theron” in the same sentence. She is anything BUT boring.

    Charlize is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood presently, & has been for such a very long time. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how you (Kaiser) can think Charlize looks ‘boring?’

    I’m really not trying to give you a hard time……but….what exactly are you looking for/expecting….w/Charlize? I dunno…but if anyone’s expecting to see Charlize gracing the red carpet sporting Goth, or a multi-colored tri-hawk hairdo in order to not be “boring,” well…forget it.

    Charlize, at least TO ME, is just flawlessly beautiful. Whenever I see pictures of her looking as gorgeous as she does in this write-up, I always tend to think of her as a modern-day Grace Kelly.

  11. Jackie says:

    i wanna like her, but for some reason i kinda don’t. not sure why.

    i think she is pretty, is a good actress (ex. monster/new snow white flick), has a great bod, her style is ok (except for the unfortunate ‘orange’ fiasco when she got the oscar). however, something is always missing for me. it’s like she is veneer only.

  12. LeeLoo says:

    Careful Alix don’t give Albert any ideas! I do like the dress on her but she seems to wear variances of it to every premiere and award show lately.

  13. Julia says:

    Beautiful but I hate those natural color shoes. A beautiful pair of black sandals would have looked better !

  14. call_in says:

    Arrested Development made me love her.

    I dig the boxes around comments. Makes it easier to distinguish replies.

  15. crys737 says:

    she was in Arrested Development for a few episodes, so you can say she has dabbled in comedy. a bit.

  16. samira677 says:

    The movie looks good and I like the concept but there’s something odd about Charlize’s performance. Maybe it’s because I’m so used to her in dramatic roles, seeing her doing comedy seems weird.

    • kk says:

      I agree- there is something weird about her performance. I don’t think the movie looks very funny at all, the only time i laughed (and it was a small laugh) was when she is at macy’s getting a dress. Juno was so funny, I am surprised Diablo Cody would do something unfunny like this movie :/

      • Ice Bunny says:

        I agree too.. something seems odd.. like she is maybe not the right person for the role.. although she seems quite *believable* in it. Hard to put a finger on the disconnect though. I think part of it may be that the subject matter is not really funny.. a woman trying to steal another woman’s husband – especially when it’s done by an old girlfriend – is not typically fodder for humor. I don’t know if that’s something we find to be a “funny” situation, even though it happens all the time. It inspires subconscious (and overt) feelings of wrath.. not laughter. Just my opinion of course.

  17. Dudette says:

    Very, very boring. And she looks a little washed out strangely.

  18. kiko says:

    i get a weird vibe from this movie..i just don’t get why watching a sicko homewrecker is supposed to be fun.the guy in the trailer seems to be happily married…

    heyyyy there is a reply button?this will be fun 😀

  19. lucy2 says:

    The dress is a little boring, but with that face, who cares? She looks amazing.

  20. F5 says:

    Love her but she started messing with her face..
    and love the new format ◕‿◕ well done!
    happy Sunday all

  21. Janet says:

    That movie looks absolutely hilarious. Can’t wait to see it.

  22. Camille says:

    Its boring and I hate those shoes.

  23. Megan says:

    No crazy about the dresses,but the shoes are fabulous.

  24. Lady_Luck says:

    She’s gorgeous, and could look great in a paper bag. Love the shoes, the rest of the outfit is a bit meh, but they eyes keep being drawn to those stunning peeps which just make the whole get up a lot more pretty.

  25. Meanchick says:

    I like her fashion sense. She physically reminds me of Elke Sommer when she was younger. I like that CT doesn’t always show up on the red carpet with body-hugging or body part-revealing gear. Very feminine.

  26. Relli says:

    LOVE the new mobile site, thanks CB makes my browsing easier!!!

  27. bagladey says:

    Simple and gorgeous.

  28. Charlottean says:

    Absolutely stunning! I think she and Halle Berry are the only two modern-day actresses that can even hold a candle to the golden-era beauties of the silver screen like Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Lena Horne etc…

  29. Strawberrygirl says:

    Charlize is so fierce and flawless. Get it, girl.

  30. Cerulean says:

    I think the movie looks funny. She’s a good actress and when she’s in something good, I’ll see it. But I don’t go out of my way. The dress is boring on her.

  31. glyrics says:

    I don’t think se wears it well. She’s usually flawless

  32. khaveman says:

    She’s a rock star. Both as an actress and in looks. Luv her!

  33. Claire78 says:

    Wow so many people rate her. I just don’t get her, besides being very very pretty – she doesn’t do much for me at all in the acting department. Besides Monster – where she did a ‘Nicole’ and made herself ugly, I can’t think of anything else she blew me away in.

  34. sandy#1 says:

    love this dress on her, i love that she doesn’t feel the need to dress like a teen trying to command attention for herself, imo, dresses her age, she looks fresh, classic. i like her acting enough, movie trailer looks cute.

  35. Pretty. Very very pretty.

  36. danielle says:

    Boring dress.
