The South African blonde's sighting came 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,' Charlize 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 Mad Max: Fury Road actress - who's 5ft10in - continued: 'It feels there's this unrealistic standard of what a woman is supposed to look like when she's over 40.'

On Sunday in Singapore, Theron looked every bit the movie star in a white Dior column gown featuring a thigh-high slit selected by stylist Leslie Fremar.

Go minimalist like Charlize in a simple white maxi dress

White can be a tricky color to pull off at the best of times since it tends to make one appear larger.

But if you get it right, it's a fabulous way to stand out from the crowd of all-black looks that dominate at high wattage events.

But take inspiration from Charlize Theron. The A-Lister is one of our top girl crushes and this look shows that going simple and clean can have maximium head turning appeal.

Her gown is by Dior Haute Couture and we love the way it skims her curves and hangs on by barely there straps at the shoulder. She looks divine and you can too if you shop our edit of similar white slip dresses below.

Equipment's silk version is our favorite but there are summery bargains to be found at Asos and Revolve.
