Charlize Theron Brought Her Daughter to the Dior Front Row

In keeping with her duties as one of Christian Dior’s most famous faces, Charlize Theron — who has been fronting the brand’s J’Adore fragrance since 2004 — took her place at the brand’s Pre-Fall 2024 show in New York City last night. Alongside her was her daughter August, who joined Theron for a rare mommy-and-me night out.

According to Entertainment Tonight, the 7-year-old wore a cobalt blue letterman jacket with white sleeves over a dress and carried a tiny Dior cannage-patterned handbag. Theron wore a khaki-colored skirt from the brand’s last collection with the words “Miss Dior” printed on it, a longsleeved black top, a Dior charm necklace, and black over-the-knee boots. The show took place at the Brooklyn Museum’s Beaux-Arts Court and WWD notes that Maria Grazia Chiuri’s new collection took inspiration from Marlene Dietrich’s androgynous style.

Theron recently opened up about motherhood and the Eras Tour. She explained that her eldest daughter, Jackson, doesn’t want to spend much time with her anymore, which might explain why August was sitting pretty with mom last night. 

“My oldest daughter went to the movie with a bunch of friends,” Theron told ET back in November 2023. “Yeah, she doesn’t wanna do that stuff with me anymore. She’s just like, ‘Mom, just drop me off at the mall, please, please!'”

Theron and her children attended Swift’s Los Angeles Eras Tour stop, which happened to coincide with the actress’s 48th birthday.

“It looked like I was being a good mom, but I was actually really happy,” she said. 

WWD notes that several throwback details were included in Chiuri’s collection, including a newspaper print reminiscent of John Galliano’s tenure at Dior, saddle bags, and an American flag print pullover. Jeans got treated with New York City skyline embroidery and aviator-style jackets and long lean trench coats were a Dietrich staple. Together, it all mashed up into what the industry publication called a “high-low quality and anything-goes affect” that “New Yorkers have been owning since the dawn of time.”
