Charlize Theron at the Burning Plain Paris Premiere - StyleFoul!

3/5/2009 1:24PM by Cat Lincoln



Charlize Theron is nearly perfect. She's gorgeous, talented, seems humble and appropriately concerned about social issues. Her style is almost unerring, mainly because she could look good in a burlap sack. Sadly, that accolade does not extend to bronze lamé sacks. In those, she looks as bad as the rest of us.

We get where she's going with this outfit, it's very 80's retro. And hello, legs! If we had stems like that we'd have gone shorter -- maybe even much shorter to distract from the madness going on around her neck. Too much bunching, twisting and sagging, and the skirt is so wrinkled we almost think it's supposed to look like that.

Plus, with a dress this "Dynasty" you need a hairdo that's so done it's a don't outside of Texas. Charlize's floppy updo makes this feel like she hanging out with her apple bong before the movie, realized she was late and had her assistant pin it up in the limo. It's a StyleFoul!, even though we know she'll immediately redeem herself, probably within the next 24 hours.
