Theron stepped out in a custom version of a look from Dior’s spring 2026 couture collection. The white minidress, crafted by couturier Jonathan Anderson, was designed with sinuous lines in white with a V-shaped plunging neckline. A bow at the waist added an emphasized silhouette, while layered, frilly elements gave the skirt dimension. The Oscar-winning actress accessorized her look with jewelry pieces by Tiffany & Co. Stylist Leslie Fremar curated Theron’s attire.
