Charlize Theron goes brunette in Dior at the Oscars: Aeon Flux Realness?

91st Academy Awards - Arrivals

Some days, I feel like I’m the only person who saw Aeon Flux, the Charlize Theron movie based on the anime series. It’s actually an okay movie, and Charlize is good in it. Charlize really did a LOOK for that movie, and her current look is taking me back. Charlize debuted her new brunette bob at the 2019 Oscars and if her haircut was just slightly more angular, it would be a complete Aeon Flux look. I don’t hate it, I just think she looks so different as a brunette, and… this shade doesn’t do much for her.

Charlize did what she almost always does, which is wear Dior. She’s one of the big faces of Dior perfume, and usually they give her some good looks. The material of this gown didn’t do her any favors, and neither did the color. I saw that a lot of people were like “she’s one of the worst dressed!” I don’t think so – mostly, this was just boring. I absolutely loathe the sleeves/shoulders though. The back is interesting, the necklace is not.

Letitia Wright – from Black Panther – also got to wear Dior. Dior gave her a much better dress! The detailing on this was gorgeous.

    she looks beautiful,but I think this look with brunette hair and red lips + This Dress make her look older than she is.

    • Milla says:

      Agreed. Still looks good. She is just gorgeous woman.

    • Yup, Me says:

      Charlize looks like she’s playing a sinister Junior League member/ vampire queen/ politician’s wife who is secretly masterminding a coup – but against whom?

      I love the folded detailing on the shoulders- it reminds me of gift wrapping. And I like the backless effect. The color is muted and bland but I like it. I won’t remember it but I like it in this moment.

      • Cammy says:

        “but against whom” lmao

        and yeah. This look ain’t the look. If I imagine this on the runway, on a young gaunt model, it might read as “FASHUN” but here, styled as such… it’s a no. For starters, she needed a slightly different hair tone to add some warmth to her face, a less severe cut/style (heck, maybe even some sort of updo) and a lipstick shade that 👏complimented 👏the 👏damn👏dress👏
        An A for effort, D in execution

    Love Charlize’s hair and make-up. Hate the dress.
    Letitia looks amazing!

  3. Birdie says:

    Aeon flux was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
    Charlize looks nice neck up.

  4. Ellie71 says:

    I thought the cut of Charlizes dress was like
    Old time glamour Hollywood and with her figure she can wear it.
    For me it was the colour and fabric that was all wrong.

  5. Onerous says:

    I think they both looked great! Charlize dyed her hair specifically for that dress. And the dress was a great backdrop for all that jewelry!

  6. Ash says:

    I hated Letitia’s dress mainly that nude color.Loved what Charlize had on though!

  7. broodytrudy says:

    I feel like I’ve stepped into the twilight zone with her. Gorgeous dress, am actually offended by her bad hair and the lipstick shade was so off. Wth? Charlize deserves better.

  8. Maum says:

    She looks so frumpy! That fabric and cut doesn’t do anything for her and the hair and makeup is way too harsh.

    Letitia, on the other hand, looks fresh and gorgeous and the dress fits her perfectly.

  9. Marianne Hord says:

    I dont love Charlize’s look. From the front, it looks very matronly including her hair. I dont love Letitica’s dress either. Its kind of boring.

  10. lucy2 says:

    Letitia’s dress isn’t terribly exciting, but it’s elegant and timeless.
    I don’t love Charlize’s but it’s fine. I don’t know about the hair color, but she has a softer brunette in her upcoming movie that looks pretty. But she looks so different when she’s not blonde.

  11. Case says:

    I loved the color of Charlize’s dress, as well as her hair/makeup. But the cut of the dress was bad. When she was being interviewed it made her look like she had a gut — she’s such a fit woman! Not flattering at all.

  12. Lucy says:

    I wish Letitia was covered more often here. Her style is incredible!!

  13. Scal says:

    From the side Charlize desperately needed a different foundation garment. Whatever she was wearing made her girls look pointy and weird.

    color is great, but otherwise it’s pretty boring.

  14. TheOtherSam says:

    I’m in a minority but I loved this entire look on Charlize, such a change-up for her. I get tired seeing her in the same sleek vampy blonde “Hollywood Goddess” look all the time. It’s good to try something different and take some risk.

    • Pandy says:

      Agree. I really liked her dress and the necklace!
      Letitia’s dress was a bit dull to me. I don’t think it did her any favours, it was just okay.

  15. Kerfuffle says:

    The dress on Charlize would have been much better if it fit like a glove, but her Dior stuff always has an air of just being thrown on.

  16. bros says:

    Charlize’s necklace is amazing! that’s a metric ton of diamonds-is it bulgari? they are known for that snake motif. and her bracelets are amazing. I like her in that blue color and think the lipstick shade was just right for it.

  17. mycomment says:

    theron is so gorgeous she can usually distract from what she’s wearing; but this dress is a major fail and makes her look poochy..
    wright is absolutely stunning … definitely at the top of the best dressed.

  18. Usedtobe says:

    I think Charlize looked all around TERRIBLE. I like her with dark hair because of her eye colour but that dress, that hair, those lips and the pointy bra thing she was wearing (if it wasn’t part of the dress) was awful. In my opinion this was easily one of the worst looks of the night.

  19. ro says:

    They look good.

  20. Millenial says:

    I really liked Aeon Flux! I saw it like, 8 years after it came out though.

  21. phlyfiremama says:

    These 2 dresses were total snoozes for me.

  22. atlantic says:

    Not a fan of either of these dresses but Charlize’s is especially awful.

  23. Tee says:

    Charlize looks like Jan from The Office.

  24. Annaloo. says:

    I LIKE Letitia’s look!

    Hey, was she in that episode of Black Mirror about the museum?
