Charlize Theron, Jessica Alba and Serena Williams Shine at Airbnb Gala

Charlize Theron captivated photographers on Wednesday as she arrived at the Airbnb.org Gala in Los Angeles wearing a striking emerald-green gown.

The 51-year-old Oscar winner showcased her toned figure in the dramatic look, taking center stage among the evening’s high-profile guests.

Theron was among a star-studded lineup that included Jessica Alba, Serena Williams and Sienna Miller.

Alba brought timeless sophistication in a black one-shoulder gown, while Williams chose a playful leopard-print dress. Miller offered a softer contrast in an angelic white satin ensemble.

The gathering was the first-ever gala hosted by Airbnb.org. Separate from its for-profit sister company, the nonprofit provides free emergency housing to people affected by natural disasters, illness and other crises.

Theron’s gown featured cascading green fringe that fell almost to the floor, parting as she walked to reveal her toned legs.

A lustrous green waistband emphasized her silhouette and coordinated with the shimmering collar of the halter-style dress.

She paired the vivid gown with black open-toe heels, finished with oversized puff-ball embellishments across the toes.

Dark nails completed the footwear choice, while her blond hair was pulled back in a deliberately tousled style.

Airbnb co-founder Brian Chesky joined Theron on the red carpet, looking polished in a traditional black tuxedo.

Alba exuded classic glamour in a black gown gathered with ruching around the midriff.

The strapless design incorporated a single-shoulder detail, which she styled with simple black pumps that added height.

She wore her caramel-colored hair parted in the middle and swept back, drawing attention to her diamond-studded earrings.

Alba also posed with her friend, socialite and influencer Carlos Eric Lopez. He wore a relaxed double-breasted tuxedo, leaving off the bow tie for a more casual finish.

Williams highlighted her muscular figure in her leopard-print dress, which was decorated with glittering silver sequins. 

The 45-year-old tennis star’s sleeveless dress featured a low-cut top and thick straps, and she paired it with pointy black heels.

Williams had long platinum-blond curls that complemented her silver-toned outfit and were swept to one side and cascaded down her shoulders.

She added a splash of color to her look with a splash of scarlet on her lips and a matching shade on her nails, and she showed off a passion for horology with a black ceramic Royal Oak from Audemars Piguet that featured a perpetual calendar and an openworked dial.

Audemars Piguet doesn’t list the retail price of the difficult-to-obtain luxury sports watch, but secondary-market listings for it and similar Royal Oaks price it between $400,000 and $600,000.

Sienna Miller’s all-white ensemble looked like the negative image of Alba’s all-black outfit.

The 44-year-old British actress was draped in a single-shoulder white satin gown with folds radiating from a knot at her hips.

The long dress dragged on the floor and completely covered up her footwear, and Miller kept her accessories minimal with diamond earrings.
