Black Bandage Dresses

Charlize Theron in Narciso Rodriguez

Charlize Theron not only peed her pants when filming Hancock (seriously, she said Will Smith made her laugh so hard, she lost all control!), but she's also a much admired style icon. In fact, at the end of June she spotted in the Narciso Rodriguez dress above, rocking the "tied-up fashion" look in the chicest possible way. Charlize can be seen in the first two images, the third features the same dress, but it's not the Johannesburg-born beauty.
