Charlize Theron's Blunt Baby Bangs at the 'Long Shot' Premiere Are So Futuristic

Charlize Theron's hitting the red carpet to promote her rom-com with Seth Rogan, Long Shot, and she's turning it up to 11. With a look that's so futuristic, she might as well be Trinity from The Matrix series, she showed off the most blunt, fierce, short baby bangs that I'm pretty sure she should make a permanent addition to her style.

Charlize Theron's hitting the red carpet to promote her rom-com with Seth Rogan, Long Shot, and she's turning it up to 11. With a look that's so futuristic, she might as well be Trinity from The Matrix series (sorry, huge nerd, had to throw that reference in there), she showed off the most blunt, fierce, short baby bangs that I'm pretty sure she should make a permanent addition to her style. 

Adir Abergel, Charlize's hair stylist, gave us a sneak peek at how he came up up with the look—sweeping Charlize's hair back into a ponytail, some faux clip-on bangs (yes, they are fake, but still amazing), and a hair mask to make the hair extra-glossy. Perfection.

Charlize later went out on the red carpet in a simple black suit, a blingy crawler earring in one ear, and a dash of red lipstick to pair with the bold hair and complete the Matrix reference I made earlier.
