Cameron Diaz is Back in Action, literally, as that's the name of her new film, and we're very glad to see her on the red carpet once more. The actor, star of some of our favourite rom-coms like There's Something About Mary and The Holiday, officially announced her retirement in 2018 after starring in the 2014 film Annie. After an 11 year hiatus, the outfit she chose for her big return is something of a rule-breaker.
Forget the glamorous gowns and daring dresses often seen on the red carpet, Diaz opted for a more relaxed and relatable style. Her signature look during this press tour? High-waisted baggy black jeans paired with an oversized black Gucci coat and sheer blouse. A casual outfit that could easily be recreated in your own wardrobe, forget the tulle dresses and the naked dress trend – Diaz is all about comfort. It felt fresh, cool and very chic.
She's also kept her beauty look simple and timeless, opting for a classic tousled hairstyle, a bold red lip, and statement gold earrings.In fact, we're so taken with this look that we've found all the elements one would need to recreate it. Forget what you heard about Blue Monday, Diaz is cheering us all up with this masterclass in style.
Pamela Anderson is also on the promo trail at the moment for her film The Last Showgirl, and it's fair to say she and Diaz share a similar approach to getting dressed: it's unfussy, slightly underdone and looks all the better for it. Forget frills and flounces, these women (who are both over 50) are proving that sometimes, simplicity really is the way to go. What a breath of fresh air.
