Charlize the fashion monster

Johannesburg - South Africa's Oscar candidate, Charlize Theron, has risen to stardom, but her dress sense is sometimes questionable.
At the annual Oscar luncheon in Beverly Hills the Hollywood star wore a simple white dress. Jewellery and other accessories were limited, which suited the occasion.
She wore a breathtaking black evening gown topped off with bright red lipstick to the Berlin film festival. The ensemble was rounded off with a fur wrap, something that would have raised many eyebrows a few years ago.
Luckily, she didn't commit any serious fashion errors at the Golden Globes. Her John Galliano number, a flowing georgette gown, was a stunner. The outfit was completed with a stylish Dior clutch bag.
The black shirt with flowing sleeves that she wore to the Critics Choice Awards however, drew comments that ranged from "fairy-like" to "bat-like".
At the premier of The Italian Job, critics were speechless. Her low halter-neck dress, adorned with tassels and topped off with huge earrings, immediately brought images of a chandelier to mind.
It makes one wonder whether our "farm girl" is struggling to find her own sense style or maybe she changes it for every function. But one thing for sure is that she never goes anywhere, without her trusted clutch bag.
