Charlize Theron and Kerry Washington are ready for their close-ups.

Theron, 45, and Washington, 44, looked like royalty in the first look for the Netflix fantasy film School for Good and Evil.

Paul Feig, who is directing the film, shared a photo of himself and the two actresses in full costume with Theron sporting bright red hair and a black gown while Washington wore a gray sparkling gown.

"First look at Lady Lesso and Professor Dovey of the #SchoolForGoodAndEvil, apparently hanging with the swing choir teacher of good and evil," Feig, 58, wrote in the caption. "Everyday with these two awesome powerhouses is a true joy. #solucky #timeofmylife."

Theron shared a closer look at her new curly red hair and black stiletto nails, writing on Instagram Tuesday, "Ain't no rest for the EVIL 😈Can't wait for you all to meet Lady Lesso #SchoolForGoodAndEvil @netflixfilm."

The first trilogy follows the adventures of best friends Sophie and Agatha at the School for Good and Evil where children are trained to become either fairytale heroes or villains.
