But when Charlize Theron was spotted in Los Angeles Wednesday, her sedate outfit was a far cry from the splashy Star Trek-esque getup she’d worn for the show.
The 42-year-old actress emphasized her legs in skintight black trousers as she ambled about outside, chatting away on her cellphone.

Charlize matched the bottoms with a flowing black blouse with a frilly hemline.

July 18 saw the American theatrical release of Charlize’s new movie Atomic Blonde, which was then released to British cinemas on August 9.
Directed by David Leitch, Atomic Blonde is an action-packed Cold War thriller starring Charlize as a ruthless and talented British spy on a mission in Berlin.
Covering a recent issue of W, Charlize has said of her Atomic Blonde character Lorraine: ‘I didn’t just want to play a girly spy who depends on her flirty ways.’

She’s explained: ‘It would be so boring to just be “the girl” and wait for the guys to come in when there’s a fight. Instead, I thought about Atomic Blonde the way I imagine men think about parts in action films. I was intrigued and challenged.’
Charlize also said of her character: ‘Lorraine is a little bit like Bond. He drinks a lot of martinis, doesn’t he? Shaken or not stirred, or whatever they are,’ she recalled.
‘Yeah, Lorraine and James are equally messed up. Maybe they should marry! Maybe they should have a baby! That would be an interesting baby,’ the actress quipped.
