Charlize Theron has a timeless elegance about her that we can’t quite seem to put our fingers on. At the age of 39, Theron is the model image of a confident and wise woman who knows her worth and beauty; she doesn’t use it as her weapon but more as her mark of a life lived with compassion.

With the latest release of her newest spot for her ongoing ad campaign with Christian Dior’s J’adore fragrance, Theron has been out in Paris promoting the latest ad release. WWD got an exclusive with the star where she dispels her thoughts on the power of older women, motherhood and inner beauty.

On her definition of womanhood:

“It’s ironic that we’ve built the beauty world around 20-year-olds, when they have no f–kin’ concept about wisdom, what life is about, having a few relationships below [their] belt and feeling hardships, to grow into [their] skin and feel confident within [themselves] and to feel the value of who [they] are, not because of a man or because of something like that. And that’s why I think people say women come into their prime in their 40s. And then for some reason our society just wants to go…it’s like a dead flower. And men are like fine wines — the older they get, the better they get. It’s such a misconception, and it’s such a lost opportunity because that’s when I think women are really in the true moment of their sensuality.”

On her relationship to fashion:

“I’m incredibly lucky, people are very generous and send me stuff. I never take that for granted, but I’m always very aware that I’m one person and I can’t wear everything. The idea of stuff just hanging in my closet and not being used — there’s a little bit of the African in me that gets bothered by that [somewhat]. My whole concept in life is if you’re not using it, you should give it to somebody else so they can use it. 

On her newborn son’s effect on her personal life:

“I’m very lucky right now that he is at an age where he can travel with me. He’s not in a structured school, but that’s going to change. As far as creativity, it really didn’t change me other than I want my son, of course you want your son, your children, to be proud of you. There’s definitely an element of that.”
