Charlize Theron, 50, was accompanied by her daughters, Jackson, 14, and August, 12, at the New York City premiere of her new film, "The Odyssey." The event marked a rare public appearance for the two sisters.
Theron guided her daughters through the event. August wore a black dress, Doc Martens, and knee-high socks, while Jackson opted for an off-the-shoulder ensemble. Theron herself wore a white mini dress adorned with a bow, paired with strappy heels, a gold choker, and a red lip.
Theron adopted Jackson in 2012 and August in 2015. She has previously spoken about her desire for adoption to be part of her family planning, stating in a 2018 interview with Elle that it was "always my first choice."
"The Odyssey," directed by Christopher Nolan, is an adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic. The film follows Odysseus's journey home after the Trojan War. The project has a reported budget of $250 million and was shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras.
Despite Nolan's directorial reputation, the film's casting has generated discussion. The casting of Lupita Nyong'o, who plays Clytemnestra, the sister of Helen of Troy, drew criticism from Elon Musk, who called the decision "historically inaccurate." Nolan defended the casting, suggesting that historical depictions should reflect the time periods of the characters. This stance was supported by "The View" host Sunny Hostin and Alec Baldwin, who publicly backed Nyong'o and Nolan.
