RuPaul’s Drag Race has featured some incredible A-list guest judges over the years, from Ariana Grande to Christina Aguilera to Lady Gaga, among so many others. And now Charlize Theron can add her name to the list, as she is one of the biggest stars to grace the judging panel in the show’s 16-season history!
The 48-year-old Oscar-winning actress appeared on the opening episode of Season 16 – which she said on Instagram was “a dream come Ru.” We like what she did there! And she certainly pulled out all the stops with her outfit!
Charlize Theron Slays In A Black Beaded Mini Dress On 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 16 Premiere
For her appearance as a guest judge on the Emmy-winning show (it picked up an Emmy for 'Outstanding Reality Competition' at this month's awards show) the Bombshell actress chose to wear a fierce sheer black beaded mini dress, teamed with a black bodysuit underneath to preserve her modesty, as well as black ankle boots, and show-stopping black Dior gloves. It's clear that she came to slay!
The Fast X actress didn't just look phenomenal on the judging panel, as she also gave some supportive and encouraging words to the contestants. "Given the climate in our country right now, there's a lot of energy being put toward your community not existing. I truly believe that all of that is coming from a place of fear," Theron said. "The beauty of what your community brings and the truth of who you are and represent will come out. Don't give up."
Theron didn't end things there, as she opened up about raising her children to be accepting on the post-show segment, Untucked. "I want them to grow up in a world where they know what it means to accept what's not you, what is different and love that, to not be scared of that, and to embrace it, and that's my job as a mom." She added: " I feel like we're living in a day and age where our words can so easily be weaponized against us. I worry about us as people and what we can do to each other, and how powerful it is when you love and how powerful it is when you hate. One destroys and one builds."
"It's very affirming, as an artist, when our allies share the message of love that we bring when we do this." Drag performers and the LGBTQ+ community are facing threats to their rights across the country. Learn more at https://t.co/a2mwfUc3h8 pic.twitter.com/cI4MSgB0Bv
