New mum Charlize Theron was also in attendance at the inaugural 25 Most Powerful Stylists Luncheon hosted by The Hollywood Reporter and Jimmy Choo at Soho House in Beverly Hills yesterday afternoon.
She wore a Boy by Band of Outsiders coat dress for the occasion.
The lightweight wool dress features a notched lapel collar, 3/4-length sleeves with padded shoulders, and a pleated skirt.
The menswear-inspired blazer-style dress is a typically chic, effortless look for Charlize, but I would’ve loved to have seen her add some interesting accessories to this look.
A low ponytail and black sandals provided the finishing touches.

Now, this is how you done a simple look without being boring. I’m looking at you, MICHELLE WILLIAMS.
Sexy and easy, very nice. I am wishing for a pop of color.
I really like it!
She looks nice, but the dress is an aqkward fit and length on her.
I have to say that, especially given that this is an event for stylists, it has been quite a poorly dressed event, even usually great people like Zoe & Charlize look sub standard at best, and the worst part is that it’s the styling letting most of the looks down.
+ 1 , totally agree, no body really stands out
good point Hannah,comletly agree.And as CT,what happend to her RC mojo????she become so boring,as is this outfit,balck,bad fit,and she is a georgues woman,she can do so so much better.
Very good point.
Really? Are we looking at the same picture? I have to respectfully disagree with you. I think Charlize looks stunning- even better than the model… with those long, long legs. I’m so jealous! I think the dress is fun for an “LBD” but it’s overpowering and considering this event is honoring her stylist, not her, she did the right thing. I love it.
****it’s NOT overpowering
It’s not a WOW, but she looks chic, crisp and comfortable.
This is a really cute look! I agree that some interesting accessories would be helpful.
My first thought was that it is chic and unique, but I think you are right that it could use some accessories.
I agree too. But wouldn’t it be fun to be able to throw that on, put on those gorgeous shoes, and walk out of the house and look that good?
Agree. Even if w/o accessories, I think she could’ve opted for a pair of gold or silver sandals instead of black.
Too short and too boring. I think she looks awkward in it.
I like the sandals she chose. It accentuates her long long legs. I suppose some other accessories would be fitting for this event, though.
I think she looks great in this dress. I love the simplicity of it. I don’t think it needs accessories, but I wouldn’t be disappointed if they were added. What a beautiful woman she is. It’s good to see her back on the red carpet.
I love the look, this is not a red carpet , it was a nice lunch with some stylists and their clients so no need to overdo it.
