However, amidst the praise, some criticism was aimed at August's appearance. A comment pointed out, "So much makeup for such a young beautiful girl. Let her natural beauty show she doesn't need all that makeup that doesn't even go with her complexion."

Young as she is, August is already capturing attention. She is also quickly becoming a young fashionista, showcasing her budding sense of expensive style. One instance was evident during the Dior show, where August carried a Lady D-Joy Micro Bag from Dior.

This exquisite bag epitomizes the luxury and elegance of the Lady Dior line, renowned for its aesthetic and craftsmanship. The Lady Dior bag is made from premium black lambskin and features the distinctive Cannage topstitching. Adding to its allure, the bag is adorned with a pale gold-finish metal D.I.O.R. charm.
Crafted in Italy, this piece highlighted August's developing style and penchant for luxury fashion. It also signals her emergence as a trendsetter among her contemporaries.
Similarly, August's older sibling, Jackson, demonstrated her growing fashion acumen at last year's Christian Dior Ready To Wear Spring 2024 show. The event was held on September 26 in the picturesque Jardin des Tuileries, Paris.

Attending fashion shows offers a bonding opportunity for Charlize and her daughter. Their trips are not just about fashion but also spending quality time together. They enjoy exploring new places and creating lasting memories.
Following this year's Dior show in New York, Charlize and August enjoyed the city's vibrant sights. Charlize shared snapshots of their adventures, which included savoring a colorful, massive ice cream sundae at a local diner, sharing a drink, and visiting the iconic Statue of Liberty.

Charlize has undoubtedly found profound joy and perspective in motherhood. In addition, she is learning new things through her children's eyes.
Recently at Town & Country’s 10th Annual Philanthropy Summit, she shared how her children's curiosity about the world opened up new knowledge for her. One, such as the history of Ancient Egypt, which they discovered together through National Geographic.

The actress, mother to Jackson and August, emphasized the unique insights children bring. “In the moment, you think it's just funny, but then you realize there's real power in their innocence," Charlize said.

Her journey into motherhood began in 2012 with the adoption of her first child, Jackson, followed by August three years later. Early exposure to orphanages and children in need shaped her decision to adopt.

Meanwhile, her upbringing in South Africa and her mother's influence molded her parenting approach. As a mom, Charlize strives for open communication with her daughters, encouraging them to feel safe when discussing different topics. This approach is vital for Charlize, who aims to maintain a trusting and secure relationship with her children.
Despite the demands of her career, Charlize prioritizes her role as a mother above all. She often jokes about being a driver for her kids' numerous activities. Parenthood, Charlize admits, is challenging but incredibly rewarding.

She often reflects on her experiences with a mixture of awe and humor, acknowledging the tough moments and the joyous realizations of raising children. "Being a parent is hard," she admitted, "but when you get through it, you realize just how amazing it is."
The actress doesn't often share photos of her children online, but fans are left in awe when she does. One of the few instances was when she and her daughters bonded during a Taylor Swift concert, as we previously reported on March 29, 2024:
The mom of two caused a buzz on social media when she shared a carousel of three pictures as she and her adopted kids enjoyed a good time at the Magic Kingdom Park in Disney World.

Fans immediately took to the comment section to share their thoughts. They wrote, "The girls look so happy" and "Oh Charlize these photos are great and your girls are so cute. Thanks for sharing, love you❤❤️🤗🤗."

Others commented, "Your girls are so beautiful 💕," "The girls are getting so big and beautiful!! Have a great adventure," "BEST MOM EVER," and more. Some of her fans wished her a happy vacation as she wrote in the caption of her post that she had activated spring break mode.
When Charlize decided to adopt, she was not married. The actress hoped she would find someplace that would allow her to adopt as a single parent. She was also not picky about where the kids came from. Luckily for the star, her daughters, born in the United States, are African Americans.

She remarked, "Everything that I hoped would happen during my adoption process did happen because these two babies were meant to be in my life — and they're my children." In 2019, she noted that the concept of what a family should look like needed to be worked on.

Charlize said people feel a family should be traditional and children should have both parents. However, even though they have gradually accepted children having two mothers or two fathers, they have yet to fully accept the concept of single parenting.

While she finds it unfortunate, she stated that she knew many people who would do good jobs as parents but did not have that opportunity. It was easier for her to adopt kids as a single parent, but she would want all women who want to be parents to be able to do so easily.

When Charlize Theron initially adopted her first child, Jackson, she reportedly thought the child was a boy. However, things changed when Jackson was three. Jackson told Charlize she was not a boy and has been raised as a girl since.

The actress wants to celebrate her kids and love them as they are. She has promised to do everything she can for Jackson and August. In 2018, she said being a parent had given her perspective as she sees things clearer.

Charlize expressed that thinking of having a child in her twenties was a scary idea. However, in her thirties, she was ready to be a parent. Despite being keen, the actress sometimes had doubts. She said, "Oh God, I hope once I have my kids, I'm still going to want to be a parent this much."
The actress acknowledged that she had bad days, made mistakes, and went through tantrum stages with her kids. These tantrums sometimes happened at the worst moments.
However, even though she felt overwhelmed sometimes and knew it was a lot for one person, she would not have made a different choice. Charlie noted, "But after six years of having my two nuggets, there's not a day when I wish I hadn't done this."
