Charlize Theron and Trevor Noah turn heads at the 2019 Oscars

South African stars were shining brightly at the Oscars.

Charlize Theron and Trevor Noah both presented on stage at the 91st Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and turned heads while doing so.

Theron chose an elegant pale blue backless Dior gown and completed the look with Bulgari jewellery and a sleek new brunette hairdo, while Noah looked dapper in a black Salvatore Ferragamo tux with bow tie and Burberry shoes.

Noah presented the eight Best Picture nominees while Theron took the stage with current James Bond actor, Daniel Craig, to present Best Supporting Actor.

This caused for some hilarity on Twitter as several users took to the social media platform to ‘declare’ their support for Charlize being cast as the next James Bond with Daniel Craig as her ‘Bond girl boy toy.’

Trevor caused an uproar for saying a phrase in his mother tongue, IsiXhosa, and told the audience it translated to, “In times like these we are stronger when we fight together than when we fight apart.”

What he actually said was “white people don’t know I’m lying.” Needless to say, that broke the Internet too and Twitter users had a field day.
