The Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art held a ball last night to celebrate the opening of an exhibit on British design. Sienna Miller, wearing an awful gold sequined minidress and black tights, served as co-chair for the event.

The guy dressed like a cabaret pirate posing with Charlize Theron is Dior designer John Galiano. He’s responsible for her monstrosity of an Oscar gown with the giant shoulder bow. Sienna Miller is shown with Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s creative director.

Charlize Theron, 30, was photographed getting all kissy-face with her boyfriend of five years, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, 33, at the Lakers game on Friday. They look incredibly happy and in love, and Charlize was seen with what looks like an engagement ring on her left ring finger.

The couple had some relationship trouble in March, but seemed to have patched it up. Here’s the recap:

Charlize Theron was among the honorees at 17th annual Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation media awards on Saturday. Theron was reocognized for her role in the film “North Country.” Theron’s boyfriend, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, did not attend the event with her. Theron and Townsend were said to have broken up a few weeks ago, but were spotted together leaving a hotel since.

Other awards were presented to:

The event was broadcast on the LOGO channel, MTV’s gay and lesbian-focused network.

Presenters and attendees pictured include Jessica Alba, Laura Dern, Melissa Etheridge, Charlize Theron, Teri Hatcher, Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Jaime Pressly, Megan Mullally, Patricia Arquette, Rosanna Arquette, Alexis Arquette, Patricia Arquette, and Jennifer Tilly.

Jennifer Tilly had 2 half nip-slips in a too-tight knitted dress, and Patricia Arquette’s makeup was hideously brown and cakey. She should have asked Alexis, her transgendered sibling, to do her makeup for her. Alexis looked well coiffed and well put together when compared to her melting sister.

32 pictures total.

Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend were spotted leaving celebrity getaway Chateau Marmont in Hollywood three days ago, belying rumors that they’ve split.

Charlize has been without her steady partner lately, leading people to speculate that they’ve split. She went on tour to promote the Japanese release of Aeon Flux right after the Oscars. She also was spotted solo at the SXSW film festival in mid March.

Charlize was said to want time off from the relationship to concentrate on her busy career.

From these latest photos, It looks like the couple is trying to make it work.

People on the JJB bulletin board where we found the pictures have said that Theron look pregnant. We think she’s just wearing a tight top and that these are unflattering pictures.

Two more after the jump.

Star is set to report that the rumors that Charlize Theron 30, has split with her boyfriend of five years, 33 year-old Irish actor Stuart Townsend, are true. Theron’s publicist released an exasperated statement a week ago that the two were still together in response to speculation that they had split. According to Star, Theron wants time away from Townsend to concentrate on her career.

Saying you want time away from the other person usually spells doom for a relationship. Maybe Theron will reunite with Townsend after she has some time to herself, but we doubt it.

Charlize’s publicist says that her boyfriend, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, has been away and the rumors that two have split are false:

Charlize Theron, 30, has split with her boyfriend of five years, 33 year-old Irish actor Stuart Townsend, The Sun reports:

The Sun also reported that Theron said she wasn’t ready to marry Townsend, and that marriage is “not really what I want - or what he wants.”

Theron told Oprah last year that Townsend was her best friend and that the two liked to make out.

Theron flew to Japan the day after the Oscars to promote the Japanese release of Aeon Flux. She certainly keeps busy, and It’s a shame that her full schedule got in the way of what seemed like a great relationship.

Charlize Theron attends the Aeon Flux premiere in Japan March 9th. She looks stunning in a cream-colored silk gown with a gathered front.

At yesterday’s Aeon Flux press conference, Theron spoke about preparing for the critically-panned film with five-hour martial arts workouts:

She also said that having her hair cut and died black for the role made her feel “like a warrior.”

Twelve more, including Japanese TV stars Chiaki and the buxom Mika Kanou, after the jump.

Charlize Theron speaks an the Aeon Flux press conference at the Park Hyatt Tokyo in Tokyo Japan on March 8th. The movie was terrible, but maybe the dubbing adds something to it.

Charlize Theron arrives at Japan’s Narita International Airport on March 7th to promote “Aeon Flux.”

Theron made quite a few worst-dressed lists in her Christian Dior gown with the massive bow. Let’s hope she sticks to her trademark style for future events.
