Charlize Theron Elevates Givenchy’s Jewel-Strand Top at Paris Fashion Week

The front-row look signaled Sarah Burton’s jewelry-as-garment turn at Givenchy.

Overview

  • Theron arrived at the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2026 show in Paris wearing a top composed of cascading jewel strands over a visible black bra, paired with an oversized white blazer and wide-leg trousers.
  • The ensemble was finished with shield-style sunglasses, long drop earrings that echoed the jeweled top, and black open-toe heels.
  • The piece is credited to creative director Sarah Burton, whose debut at Givenchy in March introduced deconstructed-luxury concepts such as the so-called Broken Chandelier Top.
  • The appearance followed Jenna Ortega’s 2025 Emmys moment in a related Givenchy gemstone-and-pearl top, which her stylist Enrique Melendez said weighed 20 to 30 pounds; no similar weight was reported for Theron’s look.
  • Theron’s outing continued her recent pattern of no-shirt tailoring and underscored her ongoing alignment with Burton’s direction at the house.
