I’m certainly not an Oscar-winning actress, but I do have one thing in common with Charlize Theron: we’re both 5’10”. As a fellow tall gal, I know the struggle of making flats look polished enough for a night out. People seem to equate heels with dressy occasions, but they are far from the only options you have. To wit: Theron’s newest appearance in New York City.

Attending the opening of Breitling’s new store in the Meatpacking District, Theron wore an oversized blazer, pearl-embellished top, and silky maxi skirt. Other than her sparkling Breitling watch, her strappy flats immediately caught my attention. With this look, Theron just proved once and for all that flats can indeed look fancy. If they’re good enough for the red carpet, they’re good enough for me! Scroll down to re-create Charlize Theron’s newest outfit.
