Charlize Theron stole the spotlight at The Odyssey photocall in Paris on Tuesday, joining co-stars Zendaya, Anne Hathaway and Lupita Nyong'o. The Oscar-winning actress, 49, turned heads in a daring tailored look that put her incredibly toned legs on full display.
Opting for an unexpected take on tailoring, the Mad Max: Fury Road star paired silky powder-blue satin shorts with an oversized black double-breasted blazer layered over a pale yellow shirt, leaving several buttons undone for an effortlessly chic finish. She completed the fashion-forward ensemble with delicate silver stiletto sandals, sleek black sunglasses and a fresh blonde bob.
While Charlize's latest appearance highlighted her enviably sculpted physique, maintaining that strength has become increasingly important as she has grown older. Despite being renowned for performing many of her own action sequences, she has admitted that recovery isn't quite as easy as it once was. 'The thing that really bums me out is that I make action movies now and if I hurt myself, I take way longer to heal than I did in my 20s,' she previously told Allure.
Charlize's lean, athletic frame is the result of years of disciplined training. She works closely with long-time personal trainer Fedele De Santis, with strength, flexibility and power forming the foundation of her fitness routine. 'I have been working with him for many years now,' she told Women's Health, explaining that the goal is always 'to be strong but graceful.'
Outside the gym, Charlize credits Pilates as one of the biggest game changers for her body. 'Pilates has totally changed my body,' she previously shared. 'It relieves tension but builds muscle and strength, and it gave me the platform on which everything else could be built.' She also incorporates two 90-minute power yoga classes each week, regular spin sessions and, more recently, tennis into her exercise routine.
