Charlize Theron knows how to switch it up and amp up the glam.
Though the Mad Max: Fury Road actress admittedly might prefer to spend her nights in sweatpants, she ditched them with good reason over the weekend as she attended the Baby2Baby gala in Los Angeles.
The annual star-studded event is a fundraising opportunity for the nonprofit, which provides children living in poverty across the country with basic necessities, and was also attended by the likes of Jessica Alba, a longtime ambassador of Baby2Baby, Sofia Richie and her husband Elliott Grainge, Vanessa Bryant, Kelly Rowland, Miranda Kerr and Heidi Klum, among others.
For her night out, Charlize opted for a stunning Schiaparelli look, a draped, plunging white gown with a denim corset.
She took to Instagram following the event to share photos of her look, which she paired with oversized gold earrings, leaving her signature platinum blonde hair loose, styled into a sleek side part.
“Finally out of my sweats. Thanks @schiaparelli and @danielroseberry,” she wrote in her caption next to a black heart emoji, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post to gush over her look.
“Oh my. Wow wow. Stunning,” one wrote, as others followed suit with: “OMG! I am dying. The pictures are sooo great. I don’t have to tell you that you look truly beautiful!” and: “Gorgeous babe!” as well as: “Absolutely amazing.”

Charlize adopted both of her daughters from her native South Africa, first Jackson, 11, and then August, nine.
