Charlize Theron's Style Evolution (PHOTOS)

Charlize Theron could make any mundane activity look glamorous, with her perfectly groomed blond mane and enviably long legs. Case in point: the South African-born beauty's many red-carpet hits over the past several years, while celebrating roles in films such as Monster, for which she won an Oscar.

In honor of the Dior devotee's 36th birthday today, we've rounded up some of her most memorable looks. And expect to see plenty more of Theron on the awards show circuit: Her upcoming film Young Adult, which premieres at the Toronto Film Festival next month, has already been deemed Oscar bait by The Hollywood Reporter.

My son had the great fortune of meeting this beautiful woman and said she was as nice as could be. I have always thought that Charlize was one of the most beautiful woman on the planet and still do. Her's is a natural beauty that not many woman could ever dream of having.

I think she is one of the prettiest woman in the world. I don't know about "beautiful", beauty has to do with everything but looks to me, and I don't know her personally.

Knees are a little wide, but legs are far from being horrible.

"Horrible legs," and "...way to thin looks recovering addict..." by Ttrexxx.
Usually, it's women who have legs that look like redwood trees that think normal legs are too thin. Please don't post a picture of yours.

Ttrexx, Fred & Sam, really her legs, it would seems all would be written by male sounding names, but then maybe, you are a man wanting to be a woman and that is just how us women critize each other. Although, Charlize has nothing wrong with her body. She also seems to be one of the few celebrities that has a mind and uses it to care for other things on this planet then what her knees look like. Geez, get a life you three!

Correct me if I'm wrong ----was there another actress in the 60's with a name like Charlize Therone?

Consider yourself corrected. First of all, it is againt union rules for one actor to have the same name as another. But your mistake is understandable. Charlize starrred in the movie "The Monster," for which she uglicized herself to a point that she was unrecognizable.

Could you be thinking of Juliet Prowse?? She too was a South African, and a fantastic dancer, but died of cancer. She also use to HOST the BALLROOM dancing. Almost married Frank Sinatra, but changed her mind at the last moment.
