Charlize Theron is currently in New Delhi, India, where she is promoting the work of her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, which invests in and advances the health of young people in Southern Africa to create a more equitable future for all.
The South African actress is a Dior ambassador, yet we seem to be most excited when she leans into other labels.
This is one such occasion, as Charlize looked so beautiful and statuesque wearing this red dress from the Standing Ground Spring 2023 collection.
We’ve seen this knotted style a few times on the red carpet, but I’m yet to be this blown away.
Dior’s colour palette doesn’t usually consist of bold colours, which makes this moment even more special.
Aside from her Alaia red look last year, you have to go back to the 2016 Oscars for Charlize Theron’s last red moment.
I can’t help feeling that there was a meaning behind this colour choice.
In Indian culture, colours are highly important.
Red symbolises love, commitment, strength, and bravery.
These associations with the colour red come from Hindu religious beliefs. Red is often connected to Durga, a warrior goddess who symbolises strength and power.
Two things I immediately think of when I see Charlize Theron, especially in this dress.
Stylist: Leslie Fremar. Makeup Artist: Kate Lee. Hair Stylist: Adir Abergel.
