Dior’s capture line, a trailblazer in skincare science for nearly four decades, entered a bold new era in 2025, reimagining its approach to natural vitality. Committed to empowering women to embrace their individuality and timeless beauty, Dior partnered with actress, producer and long-term friend of the house Charlize Theron, whose fearless career and philanthropic work make her an inspiring ambassador for this new chapter.
