Charlize Theron went for sartorial androgyny in a suited look by Dior for the New York City premiere of her new film “Apex” on Wednesday night.
The Oscar-winning “Monster” actress turned to the French luxury fashion house’s men’s fall 2026 ready-to-wear collection for her attire. Styled by Leslie Fremar, Theron’s look consisted of high-waisted black trousers and a coordinated double-breasted suit jacket with sinuous lapels and slouchy shoulders.

Opting to go sans shirt beneath her jacket, Theron added a statement element to her attire with a ruffled white collar and long tied bow. The actress went minimal with accessories, save for a pair of statement earrings, and her blond bob was coiffed with natural waves. A red lip added a pop of color to the actress’ overall look.
Debuting as part of Paris Fashion Week in January, Dior’s men’s collection featured inspiration from couturier Paul Poiret. The collection also marked Jonathan Anderson‘s first men’s curation as the French luxury fashion house’s creative director.

“His starting point was a purple Poiret dress he acquired from a vintage dealer. It was the inspiration for the opening trio of sequined vests paired with jeans that set the tone for this psychedelic-flavored collection,” Joelle Diderich wrote in WWD’s review of the collection.
“Through Anderson’s looking glass, tailoring took on topsy-turvy proportions. The hourglass curves on shrunken Bar jackets, in houndstooth wool or distressed denim, jutted off just below the armpit, while tailcoats in cable knit and beefy shearling blurred the boundaries of formalwear.”
