Charlize Theron wears many hats. One is as the founder of Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, which supports community-based HIV programmes.

It’s no surprise that Charlize Theron is often described as intimidating, she is intelligent, ballsy and direct, not to mention a MiNDFOOD cover girl and Dior glamourpuss.

Adding to her mantelpiece of impressive accolades, Charlize was presented with the Swarovski Crystal of Hope award at Kaiserpavillon, Tiergarten Schoenbrunn in Vienna, Austria on Wednesday.

The legendary actress, 42, was all smiles as the Former US Ambassador Helene von Damm recognised her exceptional commitment to combating HIV/AIDS ahead of the Life Ball 2018. Charlize received an award in the form of a glittering chain necklace, attached to a red ribbon, which is the HIV/AIDS awareness symbol.
