Charlize Theron Is The Face Of Dior Watches

Hollywood actress Charlize Theron is all set to be the face of the Dior VIII watch collection.

Stunning Charlize Theron, along with Vogue and Dior, hosted a dinner in West Hollywood last night at Soho House for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project.
