Charlize Theron turned heads as she stepped onto the red carpet for The Odyssey in Beijing on Thursday.
The 50-year-old actress looked statuesque in a dramatic black lace gown as she joined director Christopher Nolan and her co-star Matt Damon at a meet and greet held at Universal CityWalk.
Charlize's Givenchy dress, taken from the fashion house's Fall 2026 collection by creative director Sarah Burton, featured a daring halterneck bodice that plunged almost to her waist.

The architectural design featured several dramatic splits, showcasing Charlize's toned legs and a pair of barely-there black strappy heels.
Charlize added even more sparkle with an impressive collection of Tiffany & Co. jewellery reportedly worth more than US$50,000.

She completed the collection with an Elsa Peretti Bone ring, Split ring and Cabochon ring. The curved silver-toned pieces perfectly complemented the metallic edging running through her statement dress.
Keeping the focus on the intricate ensemble, Charlize wore her short blonde hair swept neatly away from her face. Smoky eye makeup, defined brows and a neutral lip completed her striking red-carpet beauty look.
