Charlize Theron Defends Dior Oscar Frock

Enjoying a full night of red carpet action, Charlize Theron headed from the Academy Awards ceremony to the 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in West Hollywood last night (March 7).

The South African beauty struck a few poses upon arrival, clad in a much-criticized specially designed John Galliano for Dior frock.

Bashing the newly single actress' look, EOnline critics sniped, "Almost every year somebody wears something off-the-wall crazy to the Oscars, and this year the unfortunate honor goes to Charlize Theron. Yep, those are her lady lumps wrapped in lilac rosettes, courtesy of Dior Haute Couture. This one's going down in the history books along with the swan dresses and pirate costumes."

Nonetheless, Miss Theron, 34, disagreed with the fashion police's comments, telling Us magazine, "I just loved this dress!"
