Charlize Theron‘s effortless beauty is no secret, evident in both her stripped-back, casual moments and more glamorous red carpet appearances. This week, the Oscar winner and style icon, 48, demonstrated her impressive tennis skills and sporty-chic style at the 20th Annual Desert Smash event in La Quinta, California.

Charlize Theron Shows Off Her Tennis Skills & Sporty-Chic Style In La Quinta, CA

The Fast X star's toned legs and sculpted physique was on display as she sported a white mini tennis skirt, a black long-sleeved top, classic Adidas Sneakers, and a white visor. Fans took notice of Theron's "youthful" glow and praised her athleticism and fashion sense when images of her playing tennis in this get-up were shared on social media. Additionally, the event was a success in raising funds for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project.

To complete her look, the Bombshell alum wore her blonde tresses down in an elegant, chin-length bob. On March 7th, pop culture publication Just Jared uploaded new shots of Theron on the court on Instagram, and fans headed to the post's comments section to share their thoughts. "Wow she looks 25," one fan wrote with a heart-eyes emoji as another added: "Gorgeous as always."

One day later, Theron shared a photo collection from the athletic day in a post for her 7.6 million followers. She included wholesome pics with friends and action shots. Theron captioned the post: "This week I got to immerse myself in two of my favorite things: Tennis, and @CTAOP."

She added: "Had a blast out in the desert for @DesertSmash –– got to play doubles with @bigfoe1998 and the one and only @djokernole, take on two powerhouses @vichka35 and @yvonneorji, and ALL was in support of CTAOP’s work uplifting young people in Southern Africa. So grateful to everyone who came out, and the team who has kept this epic event going strong for 20 years!"

Naturally, the Atomic Blonde actress received more compliments from fans commending her physique. "You look good Charlize," as another added: "She is like an angel." In another look that same day, Theron swapped her black top for a light purple graphic tee with an orange mandala-esque print — the official logo for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project.

The charity's website states that it strives to enhance the wellbeing of the youth in Southern Africa through investment and advancement in healthcare, with the ultimate goal of fostering a more equitable future for all. "Happy international women’s day! And congratulations on your charity event," another fan commented  beneath her latest post as one other noted: "Girl you're killin' it!" (We couldn't have said it better ourselves!)
