Charlize Theron celebrates new Fast 8 role at WE Day in LA… after complaining she's lost jobs for being 'pretty'
Charlize Theron celebrated her just-announced role in Fast 8 on the blue carpet of WE Day in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Stylist Leslie Fremar dressed the 40-year-old Oscar winner in a black blazer over a WE Day top, dark rinse skinny jeans, and gleaming white Converse low-tops.
The South African stunner sported very dark brows, pink lips, and she had her platinum bob done Wednesday at the Mêche Salon in Beverly Hills.

Earlier that morning, Deadline announced that Charlize is reteaming with The Italian Job director F. Gary Gray to play an antagonist in the eighth Fast and Furious film.
Coincidentally, the car chase-filled heist remake in 2003 also starred Fast and Furious regular, Jason Statham.
Thursday also marked the beginning of shooting on Fast 8, which hits US/UK theaters April 14, 2017.
The Straight Outta Compton filmmaker has spent the last week location scouting in Cuba, and his globetrotting production also films in Georgia, New York, and Iceland.

The seven prior films of the Fast and the Furious franchise have grossed an eye-popping $3.9 billion worldwide at the box office.
The Mad Max: Fury Road star's casting news came shortly after she lamented the lack of roles for 'pretty people.'
'Jobs with real gravitas go to people that are physically right for them and that's the end of the story,' Theron said in the May issue of British GQ - on newsstands now.
'How many roles are out there for the gorgeous, f***ing, gown-wearing 8ft model? When meaty roles come through, I've been in the room and pretty people get turned away first.'

The Golden Globe winner continued: 'It feels there's this unrealistic standard of what a woman is supposed to look like when she's over 40.'
