Model First, Then the Oscar

Theron carries both halves of the fashion-celebrity definition in her job titles alone: actress and fashion model. The late-1990s film run — The Devil's Advocate, Mighty Joe Young, The Cider House Rules — established her on screen, and Monster (2003) completed the arc with a sweep of Best Actress honours: Silver Bear, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award and Academy Award, a first for a South African in a major acting category. The Monster role is also a famous case of an actress transforming her appearance completely for a part, the inverse of the glamour image her modelling built — and the contrast is a large part of why her red carpet appearances attract so much attention.
