Cameron Diaz is undoubtedly one of Hollywood's most beloved. With a hugely successful acting career, recent foray into writing and former modelling experience, Cameron continues to make waves within the industry.

And if it isn’t her Californian hair we’re lusting over, it’s her insanely muscular bod and not to mention her inimitable style...

And so in celebration of her birthday, we’ve rounded up her greatest sartorial moments. From her obsession with blue eyeshadow in the nineties to her ever-evolving hair throughout the decades. But first, let's take a look back at how she first embarked upon her successful career.

Cameron was signed to Elite Model Management at the tender age of sixteen. She then went on to land huge campaigns for Calvin Klein and Levi's before being snapped up by teen magazine, Seventeen in July 1990 for their cover.

By the age of 21, Cameron began her foray into acting as she auditioned for The Mask after the recommendation of her modelling agent. Cameron landed the role despite not having any previous acting experience and the film went on to be one of the highest-grossing films of 1994.

Ever since her successful debut, and after almost twenty years in the industry, the actress has picked up four golden globes for her performances. And she’s quite the multi-talented star, having played everything from a ringleader in Charlie’s Angels to a scheming teacher in Bad Teachers.

And with such a seccessful foray into the acting sphere, Cameron has attended many a premiere, famously bringing baker hats and crimped hair to the red carpet back in the nineties.

Californian cool by day and Oscar-worthy dresses by night, Cameron is sartorially ready for anything. With a penchant for all things minimal, Cameron often dresses her beachy waves with laid-back tees and blue jeans.

But come evening, Cameron has a soft spot for Stella McCartney, who designed the white jumpsuit she wore to What to Expect When You're Expecting premiere.

Though harking back to her earlier days, Cameron was undoubtedly fearless when it came to awards dressing with a love of blue eyeshadow and crimped locks - a trend that ruled the nineties.

And she is no stranger to wardrobe malfunctions. At the Charlie’s Angels premiere in 2003, Cameron’s heel snapped, resorting to her walking the red carpet barefoot. You can take the girl out of California...

But she has undoubtedly reigned as Queen of the Oscars since 1995 - wowing in a stunning, structured white Valentino Couture gown to the 2007 awards and a gold Oscar de la Renta floor sweeper to the 2010 awards.
