While she's worn her fair share of elegant, classic designs, she also isn't above trying a tricky-to-pull-off trend. So, it makes sense that, for the 2020 Golden Globes, the actress decided to go for the best of both worlds. On one hand, her Dior Haute Couture gown was pretty timeless, including a sheer bustier top as well as Grecian-Goddess-like draping. On the other, it was the color that initially caught our eye and helped Theron stand out in the crowd. That bright green shade was pretty hard to miss as the star posed for the cameras.

After the show, we learned that it took 200 hours of craftsmanship to bring this creation to life — a fascinating detail that made us curious about the work that went on behind-the-scenes. Thankfully, Dior provided InStyle with a few exclusive photos as well as a video of the process, and they're 100 percent worth checking out.
