Charlize Theron in Stella McCartney in LA: lovely and less puffy?

Here are some new photos of Charlize Theron at the LA premiere of Young Adult last night. Her dress is Stella McCartney, and while I don’t really care for it, I think this red carpet appearance is way better than the NY premiere. At the end of the day, I really disliked the choice of an orange, leather sheath for a winter premiere in NYC. But this little Stella cocktail dress is kind of cute, and Charlize’s face has improved too. I mentioned the other day that Charlize’s lower face was looking kind of strange to me, especially around her mouth. Whatever was happening, it looks better in these photos. Less puffy.

Charlize was recently discussing how weird it is for adult women to be into Hello Kitty. Ruh roh. Mariah Carey is going to throw down.

Charlize Theron can’t relate to her peers. During The New York Times’ TimesTalk panel in NYC Friday, the 36-year-old actress said she prepared for her role in Young Adult by exploring the oddities of women her age.

“I’m pretty amazed by Hello Kitty. I see so many women in their 30s walking around in Hello Kitty sh-t and nobody is concerned for them,” Theron said. “It’s the one iconic teenage symbol that seems okay for women in their 30s? The world seems to not have an issue with it.”

Realizing such women were quite similar to her character, Theron “said to the costume director, ‘Get me some Hello Kitty T-shirts.’ Those were my demands.”

All kidding aside, Theron believes “women are just as messed up” as men, which is what made her role in Young Adult so fun.

“I’m really glad I got to play this character and that it’s being appreciated,” said Theron, who “grew up on ’70s films with Gene Hackman, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman.”

“It’s such a luxury to be able to do a film that you want to do,” the Oscar winner added.

LMAO at “I see so many women in their 30s walking around in Hello Kitty sh-t and nobody is concerned for them.” I love Charlize’s casual bitchiness. If she continued with, “…So I just go around, smacking the s–t out of every bitch in a Hello Kitty shirt,” I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

  1. Love Angie. says:

    Angelina and Jennifer should take note. This is how the most beautiful woman in the world looks like. Charlize Theron, you are a goddess. She and Tom Cruise should make a movie together.

    • Betty says:

      Well Tom will be need really high shue.

      • Love Angie. says:

        Charlize is shorter than Nicole Kidman and Tom has made some great movies with Nic..so height will not be an issue

    • toto says:

      i dunno how to break it to you but Angelina beauty is a league of her own and that because her beauty is UNIQUE
      her features made her special..

      Theron is very very beautiful woman , but her beauty is not unique i saw few Austrian ladies looks like her but that does not make Angelina above her its just that not fair to compare her with others nor others to her. thx

      regarding Aniston …um well u know she is cutie at most.. my opinion.

      • Sara says:

        lol, I was thinking the same thing. Angie and Theron are both totally stunning in completely different ways.

        But Jennifer Aniston? She’s attractive and she has a nice body but I wouldn’t call her beautiful, even with the nose job.

    • mln76 says:

      Uhm as an Angelina fan I have to admit Charlize T has the whole package beautiful face and better body but unlike Angie I hear she’s not much to look at in person so let’s call it a tie.

      • mln76 says:

        Love Angie I feel bad for you…You are obviously OBSESSED with Angelina. It must be difficult to be so fixated on someone that you hate. I don’t quite understand how difficult that must be.

      • mollination says:

        LOL! Are you guys like bots or something? Real people cannot be behind these comments.

      • jin says:

        Reaely? Because everyone who meets her in person comments on how she’s even MORE beautiful in person. Let’s face it, Angelina only occasionally looks good these days. Most of the time she looks like a stick insect. Theron looks like a modern Grace Kelly.

    • morgane says:

      ITA. Charlize’s stunning

  2. AA says:

    She will never look better than when she did Aeon Flux.

    Buh-bye bad ass, hello kitty.

  3. Esther says:

    That dress looks like a badass Tinkerbell dress…And I dont mean that in a good way..

  4. Helvetica says:

    I love that she’s not too pretentious like Gwyneth,J-Lo,or Aniston. And yeah, she very beautiful and actually can Act.

  5. inception fan says:

    I want to know why the director Jason Reitman divorced his wife after shooting of this film. Is Charlize involved?

    • cmc says:

      People get divorced all the time, and infidelity isn’t always the cause. It’s kind of ridiculous to suggest that because his divorce happened during the filming, Charlize just *has* to be at fault.

  6. Jenny says:

    At least the smug bitch face has softened a bit. She does have a lovely body though.

  7. badrockandroll says:

    I worked in Asia a few years ago and all I got is a “Hell Kitty” t-shirt. I have no idea whether it was a misprint or deliberate. Until I saw Hello Kitty cars, corkscrews, fridges and stoves, I had thought that Hello Kitty was for little girls, now … not so sure.

    And if anyone has ever seen an attractive Stella McCartney outfit, can they please provide a link? Her stuff is fake edgy ugly, way more of a fashion crime than the most infantile femme kiddy Japanese stuff!

    • nope says:

      I agree. Every red carpet in Stella is a big fail. I wonder why HW stylists keep on exposing their clients to negative reviews by suggesting them to wear Stella’s outfits. I bet there are huge agreements and investments going on…

    • gab says:

      I agree too. I have yet to see an outfit by Stella McCartney that I was not repulsed by. Oooooh so edgy! Pfffft.

  8. neelyo says:

    The movie is pretty good and Theron is wonderful in it. Unfortunately I doubt she’ll get much award recognition for it because she’s not playing a historical figure, the character isn’t likeable or inspiring and she doesn’t ugly herself enough. It’s hard to get a nomination without at least one of those qualities.

    Damn Stella McCartney makes some ugly dresses. This past year anytime I see a red carpet dress that I loathe, 9 times out of 10 it’s a McCartney. Between the polka dots, weird necklines and hems, picnic tablecloth fabric….is she drunk?

    • Scarlet Vixen says:

      You’re absolutely right. If a woman isn’t doing a biopic, cross-dressing or deaf or blind she can pretty much give up on a nomination. Sandra Bullock/The Blindside, Charlize/Monster, Hilary Swank/Boys Don’t Cry, Holly Hunter/The Piano, Marion Cotillard/La Vie En Rose, Reeese Witherspoon/Walk the Line, Marlee Matlin/Children of a Lesser God, Judi Dench/Shakespeare in Love, Helen Mirren/The Queen, Nicole Kidman/The Hours, Julia Roberts/Erin Brokovich–and those are just winners that I can come up with in 5 seconds). Oh, and bonus points for period pieces. LoL

      Now, if a woman ever plays a cross-dressing deaf and blind person in a historical movie based on a true story she would TOTALLY win hands down. 🙂

    • jin says:

      Yes sho won’t get nominated even though every major critic has raved her to pieces in the film. She’s playing a detestable character. You can’t get nominated playing a detestable character if it’s not some biopic. Oh well. Atleast it shows people that Monster is not a fluke and that she’s actually one of our most versatile and nuanced actresses.

  9. lucy2 says:

    I don’t care for the dress, but she looks damn good in it! She is so beautiful.

  10. Marjalane says:

    That first picture made her legs look like old lady chicken legs. Probably just a bad angle.

  11. Sara says:

    Now that she is getting a bit older, probably better that she wears more flattering clothes. She is still beautiful, but weird fug clothes don’t flatter anymore imo. She needs simple, classic normal clothes/dresses.

  12. INeedANap says:

    I want to see her deliver the smackdown to Zooey Deschanel, who very much embodies the kind of 30-something woman who is still into Hello Kitty.

  13. kristine says:

    Hello kitty is marketed to all ages of Women. This is eveident by the products specifically for adult women. Chanel HK bags, diamond earrings and various other products. Hello Kitty could be compared to the way angry birds products have taken off, only it has been around for a long time. If you look into HK you will see they have marketing for every generation.

  14. ruby says:

    Never saw the appeal with Charlize Theron. First of all, she’s just another pale-eyed blonde. I get tired of always seeing similar looking blondes out there. Nothing makes her particularly special. Her body is ok, not the most amazing out there, but her face ? Something bugs. I always thought there was something wrong with her face (plastic surgery ? or is this look natural ? in any case it’s not pretty). And yes she does look majorly bitchy, and it comes across in her interviews too. Not very likeable.

    I don’t think she compares with Angelina Jolie (since she’s the one everyone is bringing up) and the other really beautiful actresses.

  15. Ari says:

    I actually would love to see her in a movie WITH Angelina. I think it would be hotness overload.

  16. Azurea says:

    Stella McCartney’s designs are atrocious, each one worse than the last.

  17. lw says:

    Stella is the most overrated designer of all time. The dress is simply horrid.

  18. Mara says:

    Angelina face is beautiful but Charlize she have better body very beautiful face and good acting skills

  19. Jayna says:

    The only Stella dress I have liked is Madonna’s dress at the MET ball this year

    Charlize is beautiful beyond words.

  20. Cathy says:

    I kinda like the dress. I think Charlize is way better looking than Angelina, she doesn’t look like a skeleton like Angelina does. She has a little fat on her body which is nice.

    • blonde on the dock says:

      The dress is just ok for me. I agree, Charlize is much prettier than AJ.

    • JaneWonderfalls says:

      I agree AJ is overrated always has been, But do not dare say that on this site because you will be hung for it! CB is pro Brangelilna!!!

  21. Lady D says:

    Long-time non-Stella fan. I get the feeling that Stella just assumes everyone wants to wear her. Always had fugly clothing. Hard to believe she has dressed some of the world’s most beautiful.

  22. layla says:

    Why is it considered bitchy if you are just calling it like you see it.

    That dress however, is teetering dangerously close to a cave woman like cliff.

  23. bea says:

    Stella McC is overrated. That dress is ugly and unflattering.

  24. Scarlet Pimpernel says:

    Charlize looks good DESPITE the dress … wonder if Stella McCartney would have got as far as she has in the fashion world without the famous surname?

  25. Criss says:

    Charlize would look good in a potato sack, it looks like she tried. The top looks like my kids soccer ball bag, the middle my old prom dress, and the bottom my bed sheet. This is the ugliest dress I’ve seen in years. It doesn’t even fit her and the thread is showing at the bottom, you can see it not even well made. The dress should flatter the beautiful woman, not the woman flatter the dress. Stella’s designs have improved so much. She should to stay minimal in her designing. One color, no patterns…unless Stella is wearing it herself.

  26. taxi says:

    Charlize is beautiful. I wish she weren’t wearing an ugly outfit.

  27. sandy#1 says:

    now see, this is what you call beautiful, not the dress, but charlize is also a good actress, no fame seeking all the time, i really like her, also sandy bullocks, why can’t more actress be like them?

  28. JaneWonderfalls says:

    Charlize is always a winner, I don’t understand what the problem people have with her, she’s actually beautiful and she does not pretend like she doesn’t notice it or that she is better than anyone because of it. I appreciate her acting range as well.

  29. jes_sayin says:

    How the hell does Stella M. stay in business?? Her designs are AWFUL.

    How can this post not even acknowledge that??

    This looks like it was made in an 8th grade Home Economics class.

  30. atlantapug says:

    That dress is hideous. It makes a beautiful and fit woman look wide and thick in the shoulders and waist.
    Blech.

    As for Hello Kitty, I’m a firm believer that t-shirts with any kind of shit on them should be abandoned after college.

  31. Mari says:

    Her face looks gorgeous… the dress is hideous.

  32. Katie says:

    Charlize is to me now, what barbie was to me when I was a little girl: the perfect beauty.
    She can’t do no wrong.

  33. Andie B says:

    Yes, the dress is ugly, but this lady would look fantastic in a sack. I don’t really rate her as an actress, but she is very beautiful.

  34. laura says:

    Yet another hideous creation by Stella McCartny….she must have some good friends who keep pushing her crap.

  35. jin says:

    There was never anything wrong with Charlize’s gorgeous face. You just posted a picture that captured her face in a certain expression. She’s always had a full face and heart shaped lips, but it’s still the most beautiful face. You’re an Angelina fan and Angelina fans all hate Charlize Theron probably because they don’t want to admit there’s another lady who can beat her in the beauty and talent department.
