Charlize Theron wears Dion Lee LBD, jokes about why she’s still “single”

These are some new photos of Charlize Theron at CinemaCon yesterday in Las Vegas. Shall we discuss the Dion Lee dress first? I’m not in love with it. And oddly enough, I don’t find it flattering. Charlize has this amazing body, and I swear the cut of this dress makes her hips look weird. Plus, she doesn’t look comfortable in it at all. The “cutout” effect is helped along with that illusion netting, and it’s just not a cute look. Her face looks great, though. She’s been looking kind of Botoxy lately, but she looks very fresh and natural here (to my eyes).

Charlize received the “Distinguished Decade of Achievement In Film” Award at CinemaCon. Charlize has had a great decade in film, but that’s kind of lost in such a kiss-ass industry event when everyone knows Charlize just got an “award” because she has two films opening up in June (both of which I can’t wait for). During her acceptance speech, Charlize joked, “If I knew that 3D was gonna be such a big deal I would have gotten that boob job ten years ago.” She also said that everything she knows about love she learned from watching Splash and “Perhaps that is why I am still single.”

Single you say? In other Charlize news, The Enquirer has a recap on the situation with Charlize and Alexander Skarsgard. The Enquirer broke the story in March – something about Charlize and Alex on a “date” at Gym Sportsbar, “a gay watering hole in West Hollywood.” Other sites have claimed similar things too – it’s generally established that Charlize and Alex were together at this bar, but some say that they might have been with a group of friends and maybe it wasn’t so much a “date”. The Enquirer’s sources say this week that Charlize and Alex “want to keep the romance to themselves for the time being.” Which is just a fancy way of saying that we probably won’t see photos of them together. For a while at least.

    What a nice tall drink of water ms. Theron is … No more bOx office bombs for her

  2. marie says:

    yeah, that dress does her no favors..

  3. Jill says:

    She’s been wearing a lot of black lately. She’s tall and blonde and beautiful and needs some color. In the mean time, I will just think of her with Askars…..

  4. Mel says:

    What a god-awful dress. It looks like its made from fabric remnants and old fishing net. Not a Charlize fan, but even I think she deserves to be showing off her awesome bod in a better outfit than this.

  5. T.C. says:

    Sex doesn’t mean a relationship. I think Askar is just a sex buddy, women have needs too, so she is really single. New baby no time to work on a relationship.

  6. Eleonor says:

    It takes a real awful-made dress to make Charlize Theron’s body looks fug.

  7. Jayna says:

    Awful dress. Gorgeous woman with a great body.

    • MJ says:

      If a dress can make Charlize Theron look thick-waisted, it is not fit to be worn by anyone.

      • Camille (The original) says:

        The thing is she does have a pretty straight up and down figure (like Gwen Paltrow, but with broader shoulders), but this dress is just straight up fug and only emphasises her flaws and doesn’t accentuate her positives.

        She looks pretty from the neck up though.

    • CC says:

      Agreed. And even if she has tweaked herself (possibly, I’m not a “superfan” so I don’t compare before and afters, or would even be able to tell), she looks great but the dress? FUGLY

  8. Toot says:

    Her face looks different to me in the nose mouth area. I can’t tell if she had a nose job or something done to her mouth.

    Her face is looking off to me.

    • Abigail says:

      I agree. What the heck has she done to her face? Too many fillers?

    • Marjalane says:

      Me too- It looks like a Charlize, Cam Diaz, Chelsea Handler hybrid. She usually has really pretty bone structure. Here, she looks kind of “round”

      • Toot says:

        I see those, but when I first saw the pic used for the article I thought it was Sarah Michelle Geller.

        Charlize should have left her face alone.

    • A says:

      Agreeing. She’s done something to her face. Such a shame.

    • Prim says:

      You people are nuts. Her face looks amazing and natural here. And even if she had a little something done to her face she still looks beautiful, doesn’t she? She does not look weird and still looks human unlike the ones who go overboard. Why are people so obsessed with accusing people of having work done? Besides, she has a naturally round, full face and looks happy and like she’s put on a little weight since adopting. When Charlize gains weight, you can always see it in her face.

  9. BW says:

    Illusion netting should never have seams. It ruins the illusion.

    Also, when she was holding the award, I thought she was Ironman for a moment.

  10. Mirella says:

    She’s stunning, the dress, not so much.

  11. Nessa says:

    That dress… Never again, Charlize. Never again.

  12. Mew says:

    She’s still single because she’s so desperate that she was making constantly desperate public “I love your c*ck” statements about her co-star. With that rate she can soon start hanging out with Love Hewitt.

    • lila says:

      You sound like some sort of irrationally angry Fassbender stan.

    • T.C. says:

      Back off Michael Fassbender fangirl, he is not your boyfriend. You are coming across bitter and jealous. She is friends with him and laughed at the joke. No need for the slut dagger.

    • Prim says:

      Jealous. George Clooney made similar comments didn’t he? Charlize’s sense of humor is similar to George Clooney’s. She jokes around with all her male and female co stars, but keeps things about the ones she’s actually interested in private. Her and Fassy are just costars and friends.

  13. blah says:

    Take note Maniston- THAT is how you do single. When you’ve got a stupid, sexist public who’s litmus test of success is whether or not you can keep a man- no matter how much money you’ve earned- don’t pander to it, reek of desperation, and constantly call attention to your love life.

    Charlize and Diane Keaton know where it’s at.

  14. Michele says:

    She’s beautiful and has an incredibly sexy body but that dress is not flattering on her at all.

  15. lucy2 says:

    I hate that dress, but she’s is ridiculously gorgeous. Can’t wait to see both of her films, looks like it will be the summer of Charlize!

  16. cr says:

    I’m taking anything the Enquirer writes with a large grain of salt-isn’t this is same mag that wrote that Alex was couch surfing in LA and heartbroken over the end of his relationship with KB, when he was in NYC and obviously not heartbroken?

    The US Weekly story from last week might have more validity. Might.

  17. Happymom says:

    Lainey Gossip has flat out stated that she is bat-shit crazy, and was telling guys on first dates that she wanted a baby: so that could be why she’s still single.

    • Flim says:

      Telling someone up front whether you do or do not wish to procreate is always appreciated. No point in wasting each other’s time if you don’t match. “Crazy” is spending the time, falling in love, and THEN finding out you disagree about kids.

    • jinni says:

      I don’t see how telling a guy what you want early on in order to find out if they are also in a place in their life where they want the same thing equals bat-sh-t crazy.

      She’s in her 30’s and even though that not old, it’s usually the time when a woman’s chances of having a kid (bio, anyway) starts greatly reducing. Why should she waste time investing in a relationship with a person only to find out that they don’t want kids or don’t want them until they’re in their 50’s (because man can wait longer to have kids with out many repercussions)? Add to the fact that she lives a lifestyle where getting dates are probably hard due to the type of work she does; unusual work schedule.

      If this is the only thing to prove that she’s crazy well it just looks like she knows what she wants in life and doesn’t have time waste on people who aren’t of the same mindframe.

    • lila says:

      That might be “crazy” in Lainey’s world because she doesn’t wants kids, but I see no problem in telling people upfront at the beginning what exactly you’re looking for. No point in wasting time if you know what you want.

      • spinner says:

        Yeah, but why bring it up when it isn’t even really an issue yet? Talking about having babies is not 1st date material.
        BTW…that dress might be the worst that I have ever seen. ACK!!!

    • SpunkyPR says:

      The only reason I doubt this is because wasn’t she with Stuart Townsend for a long time?

    • Prim says:

      And how would lainey know something like that? She’s so jealous of Charlize and has been hating on her ever since Charlize declined to give her an interview one time for her boyfriend’s movie. She has a vendetta against her even when she admitted that Charlize was really cool to her when she met her under different circumstances.

    • Malificent says:

      She may have just been doing the mature, honorable thing of letting guys know where she stood if she was actively considering single parenthood or in the process of adopting her son which, even for rich people, typically takes months, if not years. It lets both sides consider whether or not it’s worth their while to make an effort at a more serious relationship, keep it casual, or take a pass. A 25-year-old woman who is planning on a child in the distant future can afford to be coy about her reproductive wishes. A woman in her mid-30s who wants a family in the near future is wiser not to waste any emotional energy on a potential partner who isn’t on the same timeline. And it’s only fair for the other party to know where she stands.

    • Sara says:

      Wonder why she didn’t have a child with Stuart? They were together for ten years. Plenty of time to decide if you want a baby. Perhaps he didn’t and that’s why they broke up?

    • marie says:

      just because Lainey said it, doesn’t make it so..

    • LAK says:

      I am with LAiney on this one. I ran away from any guy who mentions kids to me. If it’s a date, i exit stage left pronto.

  18. Neelyo says:

    I know designers sometimes steal from others but why would anyone take inspiration from Stella McCartney? Bless Charlize for taking a risk, even if it failed.

  19. serena says:

    Her face seems kind of puffy.

  20. AudreyS says:

    That dress is HIDEOUS! Either have the guts to wear real cut outs, or none at all. I hate netting on anything but feet or hands.

    In other news, I’m totally getting a gay vibe from her. There are rumors out there…

  21. Izabel says:

    Horribil dress,a fall of taste for Charlize

  22. Blue says:

    That dress is horrible and makes her look wide. Such an injustice to her figure.

  23. Izzy says:

    Agree about the dress. And WTF is up with that hair?! Get your roots done, girl. There’s no reason to walk around looking like that… oh, wait, isn’t she friends with Chelsea Handler now? That explains it.

  24. Stubbylove says:

    Risk with the dress didn’t pay off here though she can make a garbage bag look good. Charlize is a top 5 actress for me plus she’s amazingly beautiful and is a class-act. Clearly she was brought up right. I just saw North Country this last week – if you haven’t seen it – put that one on your list.

  25. emma says:

    I’ve seen pictures of the back that make the dress look amazing.

  26. Carona says:

    Hate the dress . Where is her so called BF on a special night like that ? Her face is a little different maybe botox . The BF looks to me like he wants to hide their suppose to be relationship . If he /she happy like the tabloids say they are come out together and face the music to the public . Alot of people are happy they suppose to be together and would like to see them together showing there affections for one another . Me i am not happy with this pairing i would like her and Keanu together .

    • cr says:

      Maybe he’s not hiding anything because there isn’t anything to hide.
      Also, he’s he’s probably busy filming TB.

      • Carona says:

        I don’t care what you say on this matter .you must personally know them . I sure the hell don’t but i will comment on it whether you like it or not .

      • Heather says:

        Do you know if they are in a relationship ? You seem to be a expert . Enlighten us please.You seem to know better what’s going on here .

      • cr says:

        Oh, I most certainly don’t know either one of them. And of course you’re free to comment.
        I’m also free to comment that you seem stuck on wanting them to come forward as a couple when there may be nothing there. If there is, it’ll come out eventually, continually wondering why he’s not showing up in public with her isn’t going to make a difference.
        You seem to be fretting over it.

      • Heather says:

        Also i contacted The Vault TB and they do not work all the time . They do get breaks in between . They are on casting for Episode 10 now . They will still be filming when season 5 comes on . Sometimes Alex gets 3 days off if you checked you saw that he was at the Coachella fest last weekend with his buddies >TB has to cast , table reads then film the episode they are on when the first episode comes on they will be still filming . Alex will on his time go home to Sweden to visit family then come back to film on his break .

    • Carona says:

      I am not fretting over anything . I have a job to do and i am going do it now . I don’t know them if i did i wouldn’t either . so ciao.

      • RT says:

        I don’t what the big deal it is for some to say they want them to come out as a couple if the darn post talks about. I think it would make for a very pretty picture. Stop hiding!

    • cr says:

      Heather, I know that the actors don’t film for the entire time frame for each episode, no matter what their presence in that particular episode is. He’s also got promotional stuff to do for Battleship.
      But, that aside, even if they are a couple, they’re both really quite busy right now and people wondering why he’s not showing up to her events (should they be a couple) strikes me as being a bit overly concerned about it.

  27. Hipocricy says:

    Without going back to her natural darker hair, i wish she would choose a light brown color instead of that bleached blond.

    Those roots are no good and her hair seems stringy.

    Her dress is horrible.

  28. Lina says:

    I like the possibility of Charlize and Alex being a couple.

  29. Mara says:

    This dress is really ugly but her beauty is one of a kind ,i can take my eyes of her and she is very talented .

  30. Kelly says:

    Love Charlize. She is very cool.

  31. Gwen says:

    She’s very pretty – obviously! – but I think she has started to do something to her face. They all do, so it’s not surprising. In the first photo she looks like Kylie in the face. Strange. And sad too.

    The dress is HORRIBLE. Who ever made it should not be making clothes for women!

  32. hi biscuits says:

    Love her, but that dress is so unflattering! It makes her look like a linebacker.

  33. mike says:

    I don’t think she’s dating anyone seriously right now.

    I don’t think she’s ever dated any guy serious. Townsend, I reckon, was only her beard. (He’s rumored to be gay.)

    Yeah, there’s been rumors about her gayelle for a while now and I believe it. I think she’s gay or at the very least “bi” in the “wink wink” manner and thus not very interested in guys at all.

  34. Alexa says:

    Love her WITHOUT a tan!!! Yay! And sorry – Alexandar Skarsgaard is the ONE person who can dry me up and put me to sleep. Not getting the excitement over him AT ALL!

    • Carona says:

      I am glad someone don’t have their panties in a knot for him like me . I don’t get it either . Unlike Cr above . they have to be crazy as batsh*t to think i am fretting over a man that look like that . He has talent but he need more films to do besides promoting and they are coming along slowly to say he is eith Universal . Promotions , 1 lead film Hidden last year he had several to film this year all promotions and what film . The Gossip is what is making him famous right now . Instead of calling him a actor they keep referring to him as a True Blood “hunk

  35. buckley says:

    She looks like Brooklyn Decker here.
    Not approving.

  36. itstrue says:

    I see a cow in my ink blot test, anyone else?

  37. Lara says:

    I am not a fashionista, so I do not really care about the details or a cut of her dress. But I am a big fan of hers. Whatever she does is awesome. Just love the combination of beauty and sophistication, so rare but so priceless. I think, her wholeness might be the reason why she is still single, or whatever. She doesn’t’ look like a woman who is desperate/miserable unless she has a man by her side. Considering that she can have anyone she wants, I even lover her more for that.

  38. Ann says:

    Maybe she’s still single because she’s very committed to her career? While a nanny can help out with a baby, you might not want to have her help out with a boyfriend/husband.

    • Isabel says:

      If Askars really is her man and she is too busy to be with him I’ll volunteer to babysit him. For free.
      Ok, I’ll behave now.

  39. Reece says:

    Shheeesh! It takes an incredibly awful dress to make her look bad.
