Cameron Diaz slayed in her long-awaited red carpet return.

Diaz, 52, walked the red carpet for the Wednesday, January 15, Berlin premiere of her new film Back in Action. The actress stunned in an all-black ensemble.

The outfit included a black blouse with sheer coverage across the top of her torso. Diaz paired the top with black trousers and a matching oversized coat. She opted for black penny loafers rather than high heels.

Diaz accentuated her look with a chic low ponytail that was tied with a black ribbon. She also had several pieces of her hair out in a curtain bang style to frame her face. For jewels, Diaz wore a pair of Jennifer Fisher gold puffy dagger earrings and an Alexis Bittar gold armor clip earring. She added a pop of color to her look rocking a bold red lip.

Cameron Diaz had reached her breaking point. When Annie hit theaters in 2014, it marked her 38th movie in 20 years. “It’s so intense to work at that level and be that public and put yourself out there,” she told pal Gwyneth Paltrow during a 2020 Goop interview. “There’s a lot of energy coming at […]

In addition to posing on the red carpet solo, Diaz was joined by her Back in Action costar Jamie Foxx and director Seth Gordon.

Wednesday’s event marked Diaz’s highly anticipated return following her decade-long retirement from Hollywood. Diaz took a hiatus from acting following the 2014 remake of Annie, which also starred Foxx, 57. During that time, Diaz tied the knot with husband Benji Madden in 2015. The couple went on to welcome two children.

In June 2022, Diaz revealed that she was returning to the spotlight when she was announced as a part of the Back in Action cast alongside Foxx.

“Only you could get me back in action,” the actress wrote in a cheeky Instagram post at the time, referring to her friendship with Foxx.

In the movie, Diaz and Foxx play married former CIA agents who are pulled back into the espionage game when their identities are revealed. The action-comedy will debut on Netflix on Friday, January 17.

With Diaz’s Hollywood return, she’s not ruling out more work. Instead, she’s going to focus on what feels right for her and her family.

“I’m not defining anything,” Diaz told Empire in December 2024. “I’m just open to whatever makes sense for me and my family at any given moment.”

In a recent Us Weekly cover story, a source echoed similar sentiments about Diaz’s work mindset as she’s more “selective” toward potential projects.

“Cameron feels like she’s settled now and is in a good place mentally,” the insider said. “She has a new outlook on work and the industry as a whole.”
