Cameron Diaz appeared remarkably youthful as she made a rare appearance on the red carpet at the 2026 WWD Style Awards in Los Angeles on Friday.

The 53-year-old actress, who was recently seen in casual attire during a family outing, joined a host of other celebrities at the glamorous event, including Hailey Bieber and Demi Moore.

According to WWD, the occasion celebrated the “creative forces defining red carpet style across fashion, beauty, and accessories.”

Diaz captivated attention by donning a black dress that elegantly extended beyond her ankles, complemented by a black blazer gracefully draped over her shoulders.

To complete her sleek, monochromatic ensemble, she wore closed-toe black pumps and carried a black purse.

Her blonde locks were parted to the side, and fell down in light waves to brush past the tips of her shoulders.

Diaz was later seen sitting with other guests as they listened to a speaker on stage during the awards ceremony on Friday 

‘I’m absolutely a victim to all of the societal objections and exploitations that women are subjected to,’ The Holiday star expressed during an episode of Michelle Visage’s Rule Breakers podcast in 2022. 

‘I have bought into all of them. It’s hard not to look at yourself and judge yourself against other markers of beauty.’ 

Diaz at the time had expressed her excitement to be in her 50s, saying ‘you just know more.’

And when it comes to her views on getting older, she added, ‘I don’t want it to be about what I look like.’ 

The Hollywood actress admitted that she doesn’t do a lot for a skincare regime. ‘I literally do nothing. I have billions of products that I use twice a month if I’m lucky.’ 

Years earlier, Diaz had gotten Botox – but expressed her regrets for doing so while talking to Entertainment Tonight in 2014. 

‘I’ve tried [Botox] before, where it was like [a] little tiny touch of something,’ she told the outlet at the time. 

‘It changed my face in such a weird way that I was like, “No, I don’t want to [be] like [that]”… I’d rather see my face aging than a face that doesn’t belong to me at all.’

And when it comes to her views on getting older, she added, ‘I don’t want it to be about what I look like’; seen in January 2025 in Berlin 

Diaz has slowly been returning to the spotlight and starred in the Netflix movie Back In Action which hit the streaming site in January 2025. 

It had been her first film project in 10 years after she took a lengthy break from Hollywood. 

She had devoted time to motherhood and raising her two children Raddix, six, and Cardinal, one – whom she shares with husband Benji Madden. 

‘That was what I was putting most of my focus on. If I was doing anything other than just sort of being a mom and living my day-to-day,’ she said in a behind-the-scenes Netflix interview for the film Back In Action. 

‘That was pretty much it. I’m just trying to stay alive just like every other mother. I’m just trying to keep it going.’
