Amid the worry and criticism, some fans loved her bold fashion choice. One fan exclaimed, "your outfit: slayyyyy [sic]," while another gushed, "You are a goddess!Looking better than ever before [sic]."
Despite fans' mixed reactions to her revealing outfit, Theron has always been open about her approach to body image. In a past interview with Modern Luxury Angeleno, she shared her thoughts on maintaining her physique.
She said she enjoys yoga and spinning to stay in shape but believes in a balanced approach to eating. "I do not have a perfect body! I'm always finding things I can work on, but I definitely have reached a point where I feel comfortable and happy with the way my body looks," she said.
Theron also talked about her relationship with food. "I definitely am not one of those people that is constantly counting calories and doesn't allow myself to enjoy food—I love food. But I just try to be mindful of what I eat and be good to myself," she explained.
This mindful approach enhances her striking figure and fearless fashion sense, cementing her status as a style icon. She frequently collaborates with top designers like Lanvin, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, and Dior to create unforgettable looks.
As she keeps her fitness in check, Theron flaunts her body with increasing confidence. This was evident when she attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party last March.
She wore a glittering black sheer dress that turned heads and sparked discussions. The dress featured ruffles at the waist and see-through material.

Being in the public eye for many years, Theron is used to criticism, especially about her fashion choices. However, she has no regrets about her past style decisions.
In a candid conversation, Theron shared, "I feel like there shouldn't be any faux pas. I really feel like if you just go by how you feel and how much you love it, then it's not a faux pas." This philosophy has led her to embrace her unique sense of style, regardless of public opinion.
She acknowledged that not everyone might appreciate her fashion sensibilities. Theron remarked, "I mean, there are a lot of dresses that I know people didn't like, but I'm like, I looked at myself in the mirror that night and I was feeling myself."
The actress also shared her thoughts on aging, a process that, for her, is uniquely public due to her career. "My face is changing, and I love that my face is changing and aging," Theron expressed, addressing rumors about plastic surgery head-on.
She criticized the double standards of aging for men and women and called for a more empathetic view of the aging process. She also mentioned how aging affects her fitness and career.

She divulged, "The thing that really bums me out is that I make action movies now and if I hurt myself, I take way longer to heal than I did in my 20s...Now, if I don't work out for three days and I go back to the gym, I can't walk..." Although she quipped about the strain her body gets put under when she does hectic physical activity as she gets older.
