Cameron Diaz made a stunning return to the red carpet in her long-anticipated comeback to Hollywood.
The 52-year-old actress graced the Berlin premiere of her new film Back in Action on Wednesday, January 15, looking radiant in an all-black ensemble.
Diaz donned a sheer black blouse that added an elegant touch to her outfit. She paired the top with tailored black trousers and an oversized matching coat, completing her look with black penny loafers—a chic departure from traditional high heels.
Her hairstyle was equally sophisticated, featuring a sleek low ponytail tied with a black ribbon. Soft curtain bangs framed her face, adding a playful yet refined edge.
For accessories, Diaz chose bold pieces: Jennifer Fisher gold puffy dagger earrings and an Alexis Bittar gold armor clip earring. A bold red lip added the perfect pop of color to her monochrome look.
A Glamorous Return
While Diaz captivated onlookers with her solo red carpet moments, she was also joined by her Back in Action co-star Jamie Foxx and the film’s director, Seth Gordon. The event was a momentous occasion, marking Diaz’s official return to the spotlight after a decade-long retirement.
The actress had stepped away from acting following her role in the 2014 Annie remake, which also featured Foxx, now 57. During her time off, Diaz focused on her personal life, marrying Benji Madden in 2015 and welcoming two children with him.

Back in the Spotlight
In June 2022, Diaz thrilled fans when she announced her return to acting, revealing her role in Back in Action. She shared the news on Instagram, humorously crediting her friendship with Foxx for coaxing her out of retirement.
“Only you could get me back in action,” Diaz wrote, showcasing her excitement for the project.
In the upcoming Netflix action-comedy, Diaz and Foxx star as a married couple and former CIA agents who are pulled back into the world of espionage after their identities are exposed. The highly anticipated film is set to premiere on Friday, January 17.
Looking Ahead
With her reemergence in Hollywood, Diaz is keeping her future plans flexible, choosing projects that align with her personal and family priorities.
“I’m not defining anything,” Diaz shared in an interview with Empire in December 2024. “I’m just open to whatever makes sense for me and my family at any given moment.”
A New Perspective
According to a recent cover story, Diaz’s approach to work has evolved. A source close to the actress explained that she’s become more deliberate in her project choices.
“Cameron feels like she’s settled now and is in a good place mentally,” the insider revealed. “She has a new outlook on work and the industry as a whole.”
Diaz’s triumphant return signals a new chapter in her career, one where she can balance her passion for acting with her commitments to family and personal well-being. Fans eagerly await what’s next for the star as she steps back into the limelight.
