Charlize Theron leather sunglasses hand bag purse

It sure looks that way!

Charlize Theron ventured out to run errands in L.A. today, and the actress was rocking some sexy leather pants! Is this edgy new look her way of keeping new boyfriend Sean Penn's attention?

The Oscar winner seems to be having no trouble taming the Hollywood bad boy, considering she recently succeeded in getting him to give up his extensive firearm collection.

Last weekend, the blonde beauty escorted her beau to his third annual Help Haiti Home benefit, and the night's biggest donation came from an auction bid of $1.4 million for artist Jeff Koons to craft a sculpture from the Gangster Squad star's discarded guns.

Ahh the things you do for love!
