Charlize Theron Slips on Block-Heeled Boots With Houndstooth Shorts at THR’s Women in Entertainment Gala

Charlize Theron took a casual approach to red carpet style for The Hollywood Reporter‘s Power 100 Women in Entertainment Gala in Los Angeles on Dec. 7.

While arriving at the Fairmont Century Plaza, the Academy Award-winning actress posed for photos in a black button-down blouse. Theron teamed the top with high-waist houndstooth shorts. The bottoms had side slant pockets and a slight flare on the hem.

Sticking to a relaxed vibe, the “Bombshell” star simply accessorized with small earrings and carried a black studded shoulder bag. Theron let her dark tresses frame her face and rounded out the look with soft glam.

Completing the producer’s look was a pair of black socks and a sharp set of ankle boots. The shoe style had an elongated almond-shaped toe, a high counter for extra support and sat atop a block heel.A go-to shoe style for many, ankle boots are extremely versatile shoes that can feature a variety of heel styles. Boots that stop at the ankle can be practical, dressy, casual, minimal, showy and more.
