The Atomic Blonde actress attended the Global Citizen Festival in New York City over the weekend

    Charlize Theron isn't letting the dreary New York City weather stop her from attending an important event for her, nor from wearing a showstopping look for it.

    Over the weekend, the actress was in New York City for the annual Global Citizen Festival, where stars gather to perform in front of a crowd of fans who have taken action to promote an end to extreme poverty.

    Despite the heavy rain across New York all day on Saturday, fellow stars such as Katie Holmes, Anitta, Junkook, Lauryn Hill, Sophia Bush, Busy Philipps, Hugh Jackman, Gayle King, and more made their way to the park, and Charlize opted for an edgy, leg-baring look.

    After the event, the star took to Instagram to share a slew of photos of her look of choice, first posting a black and white photo where she is propping up her combat boot-clad foot on a suitcase, showcasing her toned legs.

    Charlize looked fabulous in a plunging, cropped white blazer with sharp, padded shoulders, paired with a black leather mini skirt with a bow on the side.

Thank you, you are the most beautiful," as well as: "You are glowing, Charlize!
