Charlize Theron criticized for allowing her son to wear a dress

Charlize Theron was spotted out with her with her son, Jackson, earlier this week. The mother of two was spotted running errands with her four-year-old son who was dressed up in the attire of a female Frozen character.

The 41-year-old’s son was pictured wearing an Elsa cap, a blonde braided wig and a dress. When the photos were released, fans reacted immediately.

Here's a thought: maybe Charlize Theron's son WANTED to wear the dress? Crazy, I know. Letting him have his own identity and all.

Theron adopted her son in 2012 and daughter, August, in July last year.
