'13
The Berlin International Film Festival is in full swing, and lots of Hollywood stars have made the pilgrimage to Germany to shill their films and pick up awards and raise money for charity and all of that good stuff. Charlize Theron appeared (unexpectedly) in Berlin for the annual Cinema of Peace Gala. This is her first red carpet in a while – maybe since last summer…? I feel like it’s definitely her first red carpet since she shaved her head for Mad Max last year. While Charlize has been spotted out and about in LA, we’ve seen that her buzzcut has grown out long enough to be made into a fauxhawk, and I for one loved that look on her. I’m not as crazy about this look here – slicked-back, darker, almost too sleek? Don’t get me wrong, she’s one of the few who could successfully attempt this hairstyle. But wouldn’t it look cuter if she had done a fauxhawk on the red carpet?
As for the dress, it’s Gucci and it’s perfection. This is seriously one of my favorite dresses on her of all time. One complaint: it’s too tight in the bust. It just needed to be let out one inch. Or two, maybe.
Also in Berlin – the stars of Les Miserables. Anne Hathaway wore Chanel for the premiere, and OMG HER HAIR. WTF? Okay… first off, I don’t like the Chanel mullet dress. The “party in the back” part is super-cheap-looking, and it seems like such an afterthought of what could have been a decent little cocktail dress. As for the hair… NOOOOOO. I thought her hair and makeup had reached a “perfect level” in Paris last week, and now she’s ruined it. I can’t. Oh, but Hugh Jackman looks nice, doesn’t he?

Charlize is like a perfectly shaped bronze statue herself; she makes everything look amazing! Sigh… girl-crush.
AnnE… ugh. Why?! Who is her stylist? How do these hideous things manage to crawl on her tiny figure, all by themselves? ‘Cause she ain’t putting them on herself, right? Right?! Ugh.

I think her stylist is still Rachel Zoe but I am not 100% sure about that. Zoe loves Chanel and would try to put everyone of her clients in Chanel if she could. I think the brand is over-rated but I like Karl Lagerfeld for the grumpy old bitch that he is.
Why is this even a contest? Charlize wins hands down.

Is Rachel Zoe still dressing Anne? Because a lot of what she’s worn is very un-Zoe so I’ve been wondering.

Both beautiful, but look at Hathaway’s 4th row of gathered fabric, after her midline. ??

The color is too light and strapless is not right for her body-shape (her shoulders for example).
She is very beautiful and the dress is very pretty.
That has nothing to do with anything.
I did find her expression very sad, disappointed or beat.
I felt for her. I would imagine she is not in the best time of her life now, regardless of her imense beauty.

…ummmm…very perceptive comments… she looks very, very butch… tough… like she just finished chopping a cord of wood… then showered… combed back her inch cut hair… threw on a gown… and walked down the carpet… she lacks any connection or human emotion… NO feminine qualitites… she’s fearsome… and beautiful in a cold and empty way… but there’s no warmth…or soul…

Charlize looks like a goddess, as always. I don’t think the dress is too tight at all – in fact, it fits her to perfection.
As for Anne…. that is a Chanel? Seriously? I mentioned on another thread that they seem to have lost it as regards choosing ‘spokesmodels’ (Giselle? Brad Pitt? Blake Lively?) but now, more importantly, it seems they’ve also lost it as regards the clothes themselves.

CT’s dress is a lil tight. You can see under her armpit, her upper back pudge is pinched and spilling out, and girl doesn’t even have back fat to pinch.
She is ridiculous beautiful.
AH usually has it ALMOST right. Brush the bangs out of her eyes, tone down the black eyes, take that peacock thing off her dress, add 6 inches to her dress and much better.

I like CT’s hair casual but not a fan of the formal, slick look. She IS perfection though, and if anyone can rock it it’s her.
Hugh Jackman always looks so handsome.

Don’t like Charlize’s hair/makeup but she looks magnificent in that dress. Anne should just send a pic of herself in the pink Prada to all future red carpets because she will never look better than that.

Charlize’s dress is just gorgeous. I think you might be right about the bust – either that or weird posture is causing something strange with her back shoulder.
I like her hair. It’s appropriate for the event. She looks like Garbo. I would have loved it if she had gone full Garbo with an elegant tuxedo. Oh could she have worked the hell out of that.
Does Hugh Jackman look nice? I feel like this is a trick question.

Charlize is one of the most beautiful women on the planet. Perfect face, but I hope her hair grows out.
As for Ms. Ann with an E, where do I start first? The back of her dress looks like a long piece of toilet paper that became caught in her stockings upon her last trip to the ladies room, and is trailing behind unbeknownst to her. And the eyes? Please. Is she going for the ‘goth’ look now? Someone with big Liza Minnelli eyes shouldn’t be doing the heavy eyeliner. Once again, annoying! Best part of her look is Hugh Jackman.

Charlize is perfection, with the exception of the lip color. That woman is beyond fierce.
The first photo of Anne made me think of Lena Dunham. Doesn’t she have that same traumatic haircut?

Don’t hate me for saying this, but I think that Charlize, who I adore, bulked up a little for Mad Max. I love me some Charlize, but I prefer her long and sinewy.
I like her with short hair, but I prefer her with a longer length.

i’ve been thinking that CT looks bigger recently, but i thought it was just my imagination. i am glad someone noticed it too. It’s also the only explanation for the back flesh you see spilling out in the picture above.
She is perhaps a size up from her usual size.
She looks good though.

Lol, is that a real question? Charlize. By a mile. Look at her! Gah. Total perfection. The dress, the hair the minimal jewelry, it all just works.
I never like anything AnnE wears and I don’t like her and this is no exception. The hair is terrible (oh Kaiser, speaking of hair LR got bangs! lol. I know how much you love bangs I am looking forward to your post on it! ha). The dress is terrible. Nothing redeeming about this look at all. I’ll say something nice, it’s not as bad as that ill fitting pink prada catastrophe she had on a few days ago. She really should get a new stylist. Rachel Zoe is terrible and all of her looks this award season have either been way off or barely okay.

Of all today’s actresses Charlize is the best throwback to old hollywood goddesses with her classic beauty, elegance, sass, poise, and effortlessness. I agree that this is one her greatest gowns. A faux hawk would not work with the dress though kaiser. Come on. Can’t wait to see what she wears to the Oscars too. Hopefully it is better than that rose boobs dress from 3 years ago.

I think Anne’s hair looks fine…the dress is ugh though. This is the first time I’ve ever followed celebitchy through awards season or any season really and I have to say this is exhausting. The lives of these celebrities just seem so boring. Endless parties, premieres, festivals, interviews, award campaigns, ass kissing, dress fittings, working out, worrying about fashion, constantly being “on”, endless photos and then seeing yourself age, being pushed out by a new batch of stars, trying to get longetivity, etc, etc, etc. wash risne and repeat every year. sounds god awful, boring, and dull. No wonder these people do drugs or become assholes. Their lives suck.

Unfortunately, she’s turned into an annoying douche over these past few months and it colors my opinion of her. And her style.
