It’s been a long time since Cameron Diaz graced a major red carpet for a film premiere, photocall or event like the Met Gala. The actress made the decision to step back from acting in 2018 in order to focus on her business ventures and her family. The actress is married to Benji Madden, with whom she shares two children. Roughly six years after her retirement, however, Diaz will make her comeback in the Netflix film “Back in Action,” co-starring Jamie Foxx.
Before Diaz hits the red carpet this coming year, looking back at her style through the years informs just how classic and playful her fashion has always been. The actress has worn several designers through the years for special occasions and industry events. Most notably, she’s fashioned looks by Valentino, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen and Chanel, among others. Regardless of what she’s sporting, Diaz often makes a look completely her own, making her style effortlessly versatile and a joy to watch evolve over the years.
