Charlize Theron ‘Can’t Foresee’ Herself Getting Plastic Surgery

Charlize Theron doesn’t need a magic mirror; she knows she’s aging, albeit gracefully. “I look in the mirror and my face is changing,” she admits in the latest issue of Interview. “I have a different relationship all of a sudden with myself. Your face changes, things change — that’s just kind of what happens.”

And though the Snow White and the Huntsman star accepts her fate — “There are days when I definitely look in the mirror and go, ‘All right, I need to find a cream,’” she reveals — being a major Hollywood star changes the game.

“It’s hard in this industry, because I think so much importance is put on how you look,” she says. “I’m not brave enough to be like, ‘You know what? I’m just going to let it happen. Whatever. I’m so cool with every line on my face.’”

However, Theron has limits. “I can’t foresee myself ever going under the knife, but then again, I’m only in my mid-thirties,” she says. “Maybe it’s different when you’re in your mid-sixties. So I don’t want to make statements about where I’m gonna be in 30 years.”

Why Kristen Stewart Wears Leggings Throughout ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’

Snow White and the Huntsman is not only action-packed, it’s fashion-packed! Nine-time Academy Award-nominated costume designer Colleen Atwood, who managed the movie’s innumerable looks, recently spilled all of the details on the film’s fierce wardrobe to FabSugar.

Kristen Stewart‘s Snow White has countless fighting scenes, so it was important for Atwood to choose practical looks for her. “I knew from the start she had to have shoes she could run in,” Atwood explained. “[And] since she falls down and goes ass-over-elbows a million times, I had to have some kind of legging to cover her up.”

Who Are the Most Powerful Stylists in Hollywood?

Blake Lively may dress herself, but the rest of Hollywood’s hottest actresses rely on professional stylists to keep them looking stunning at all times. But who are these mysterious people behind the stars? The Hollywood Reporter unmasks several of them in their second annual “25 Most Powerful Stylists” list.

At number one is Kate Young, who dresses ever-chic A-listers like Michelle Williams, Natalie Portman and Rachel Weisz. The Oxford grad, who was born in New Jersey, was once an assistant to Vogue editrix Anna Wintour.

Next up is Leslie Fremar, the stylist behind leading ladies like Charlize Theron, Julianne Moore, Reese Witherspoon and most recently, Scarlett Johansson. “Leslie knows where she wants to go with something, and I like that specificity,” Theron tells the magazine. “She has a great eye, makes quick decisions, knows my body and what I like and has access to the best stuff.”

In third place is Petra Flannery (above), responsible for the trendy looks seen on young stars Emma Stone, Claire Danes, Zoë Saldana, Mila Kunis and Megan Fox. According to the mag, Flannery “likes to take risks, which boost her clients’ visibility from up-and-coming to have-arrived.”

Hollywood’s A-list can’t seem to get enough of Stella McCartney’s funky spring collection.

At Thursday’s Swarovski Crystallized Unsigned Model Search Event in London, Helena Christensen (right) added intrigue to a patterned shift with striped, blue tights and a neon-green purse. Previous supporters of the unusual frocks include Charlize Theron, who selected a one-shouldered mini for the L.A. premiere of Young Adult, Gwyneth Paltrow, who celebrated Coach’s 70th anniversary in a one-sleeved version and Nicole Kidman, who sported a burgundy column at the Country Music Awards.

Leave it to celebrities to make an old trend new again. Headbands — once the preferred accessory of third-graders everywhere — made a triumphant return to the red carpet last night on actresses Michelle Williams, Charlize Theron and Busy Philipps.

Williams kept her blonde pixie under wraps in a vintage Fred Leighton for Forevermark headband, while Theron accentuated her soft do with a vintage Cartier band. Meanwhile, Cougartown‘s Busy Philipps put her own twist on the trend, using a simple platinum band to keep her updo in place.

Designer to Watch: Antonio Berardi

It was only a matter of time before Hollywood caught on to fashion’s best-kept secret.

In the past month, Charlize Theron, Nicole Richie and Faith Hill have all stepped out in Antonio Berardi. First, the Young Adult star wore a modern black-and-white stunner with the label’s trademark bodice detail on Dec. 9. Weeks later, House of Harlow’s creative director eschewed her own designs in favor of the brand’s beaded leggings and oversized blazer. Then, at Wednesday’s Peoples Choice Awards, performer Faith Hill selected his magenta pantsuit.

Gwyneth Paltrow may have put the British designer on the map back in 2008 when she wore his semi-sheer lace design. “When I tried this dress on, I was amazed by the construction and the uniqueness of it,” she said at the time. “It is one of the absolute favorite dresses I have worn.” Over the years, Berardi, who was once John Galliano‘s assistant, has solidified his reputation among Hollywood’s A-list with his romantic and sensual approach to design.

What Did the Stars of ‘Young Adult’ Wear in High School?

The stars of Young Adult cleaned up nicely for a New York Cinema Society screening of the film in Manhattan over the weekend — but they didn’t all grow up so glam.

Thinking back to their high school days of questionable fashion choices and fleeting trends, some of the actors — whose film focuses on a woman who returns home to chase her high-school sweetheart — took a sartorially scary trip down memory lane.

Charlize Theron was lucky enough to avoid bad school fashions thanks to her school’s rules. “We had uniforms,” she told reporters of her South African school. “It was a light-blue dress with navy blazers, navy sweaters and Mary Janes.” Writer Diablo Cody had the same guidelines. “A plaid burgundy-and-gray skirt with a button-down shirt,” she shared.
