Charlize Theron brought an updated look to a popular Y2K style.

The “Atomic Blonde” star attended Elle’s Women in Hollywood award show in Los Angeles yesterday night. To the event, she wore a red midi dress paired over matching pants, both from Alaïa. Her fitted dress featured a turtleneck collar and long sleeves. The style was reminiscent of the early 2000s when stars hit the red carpet in dresses worn over flare jeans. Celebrities like Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus and Anne Hathaway were all seen in the trend on multiple occasions.

Theron added a black oversized blazer over top of the red pieces. She smoothed her dark brunette locks back into a slick bun with a center part, and she added sparkly silver earrings and rings to round out the outfit.

Theron added a pair of strappy sandals for her footwear. The actress’ heels featured two thin white straps across the feet for extra support. The heels, however, were the most interesting piece of the shoes. The block heels were thick and completely transparent.
