Charlize Theron has been in the public eye since the early 1990s, when she first debuted as a dancer and made her movie debut in 1995's Children of the Corn III.
In that time, however, fashion trends have changed and evolved greatly, and the actress, 48, got to relive a style decision she made in the moment that didn't age as well.
In a new interview with InStyle, when asked if there was a beauty trend she looked back on with regret, she responded: "Hands down, the thin eyebrows in the '90s. I'm still recovering from that."
The brow style, all the rage on the red carpet in that decade, emphasized minimalism and barely-there shapes at the cost of over plucking and damaging brow hairs.
According to beauty experts, however, the trend is making a comeback thanks to celebs like Bella Hadid, although as more of a natural progression from the bushy brow Cara Delevingne–esque style.
In a previous conversation with Allure while promoting her new Dior fragrance campaign, the Oscar winning actress shut down any rumors of plastic surgery's contribution to her striking looks.

She continued: "I've always had issues with the fact that men kind of age like fine wines and women like cut flowers. I despise that concept and I want to fight against it, but I also think women want to age in a way that feels right to them.

However, Charlize also got real about gaining and losing weight for her roles, notably for her acclaimed turn in 2003's Monster.

"When I was 27, I did Monster. I lost 30 pounds, like, overnight. I missed three meals and I was back to my normal weight. Then I did it at 43 for Tully, and I remember a year into trying to lose the weight, I called my doctor and I said, 'I think I'm dying because I cannot lose this weight.' And he was like, 'You're over 40. Calm down. Your metabolism is not what it was.' Nobody wants to hear that."
