If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do because there’s no competing with that face and that body, so let’s copy her style instead!
This might sound like an overworn hyperbole but, really, Charlize has got it all. She’s gorgeous, talented, down to earth, the face of Dior J’adore perfume and after achieving the tricky feat of swapping the runway for the big screen she’s never looked back. Not only has she got an Oscar under her belt for her riveting performance in Monster in 2006 she can’t put a fashion foot wrong.
With style seeping out of her pores at every event, Charlize works the screen goddess look like no other. She is a vision in bold colours like hot pink, purple and gold. Take note, anyone can opt for the safe little black dress but choose the right colour for you and bold and bright can be devastating. It’s easy to accessorise with block colours, too, because less is more. A simple pair of silver or gold earrings and a chunky bangle is enough to perfectly set off the whole outfit.
To pull of Charlize’s rock-chick look, go for leggings or jeans with a sheen, and pair with an oversized singlet and cool blazer. Sky-high caged or chunky, strappy shoes complete the look.
To channel her casual style, you can’t go wrong in jeans and ballet flats. Opt for a flowy, Grecian-style top with a cool, structured blazer or a mini dress and flat sandals. If you have the height like Charlize, then don’t be afraid to wear a pair of flatties with a gorgeous dressy frock for a look that is both fashion-forward and understated.
