Charlize Theron's Red Carpet Shorts Are So Much Cooler Than a Gown
Although some celebrities have been making the case for the award season pant—thank you, Emma Stone—everyone usually associates red carpets with dresses. But Charlize Theron, for one, is ready to flip the script. You might remember when she wore a cool bra-and-skirt combo to a premiere last year, and now we're very into her leather shorts look.
Attending an event at the San Francisco Film Festival, Theron wore a printed blouse tucked into high-waisted leather shorts, elevating the look with strappy heels. Thanks to Theron, we suddenly find ourselves in desperate need of LBS (little black shorts) for our next event.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
