Cameron Diaz has made a stunning return to the red carpet following a five-year hiatus.

The 52-year-old Charlie’s Angels star was a picture of elegance and effortless glamour at the premiere of her new Netflix film Back in Action, marking her first major appearance since stepping away from Hollywood almost a decade ago.

On the red carpet, she reunited with Back in Action co-star Jamie Foxx.

Cameron turned heads in a sheer black blouse paired with a sleek black tank top, allowing her natural beauty to take center stage.

She accessorized with high-waisted jeans and classic penny loafers, while a long black trench coat with a subtle iridescent sheen added an air of sophistication and drama to her look.

The actress posed alongside a dapper Foxx, her co-star from the 2014 Annie remake, which marked her last major film project before taking a break from the industry.

Though she’s kept a low profile, Cameron made a splash in 2019 when she joined Drew Barrymore and Demi Moore to celebrate Lucy Liu’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame—marking her last red carpet appearance until now.

The 52-year-old Charlie’s Angels star was a picture of elegance and effortless glamour at the premiere of her new Netflix film Back in Action, where she reunited with co-star Jamie Foxx

The Netflix movie, which is set for release on January 17, follows Emily (Cameron) and Matt (Jamie), two former CIA agents who have given up their life of espionage and action in order to settle down, start a family, and live a normal life.

However, things don’t go so smoothly for them as their identities become compromised and they are forced to fight and run in order to protect those closest to them.

The new action comedy, directed by Seth Gordon, 48, serves as a comeback for both Jamie and Cameron as Jamie suffered a stroke in 2023 and Cameron quit acting for family reasons in 2014.

Previously Cameron told Empire she returned to acting purely to work with Jamie again following Any Given Sunday and Annie.

She said: ‘I thought that if I was going to come back and do a movie, the only person I’d come back and do it with would be this guy (Foxx).’

‘Seriously. I had other opportunities along the way and I was always saying “No. I’m not doing it, I’ve told you… What? Jamie asked? Jamie? Oh, I can do a movie with Jamie!”‘

The cast list for the film also includes Kyle Chandler, Glenn, Andrew Scott, Jamie Demetriou, Jamie Demetriou, and Rylan Jackson.

The 52-year-old officially retired from her Hollywood career in 2018, before being lured back by her close friend Jamie to star alongside him in the action comedy.

The pair has kept their family life largely private, focusing on their close-knit, supportive relationship while balancing their personal and professional lives

But her comeback project was thrown into turmoil in 2023 when it was reported that Jamie ‘had an absolute meltdown’ on the UK set of the movie, which led to the firing of three people.

And in March 2023, a source close to the star revealed that – while Cameron didn’t have any issues with Jamie – she likely won’t return to the world of film after this movie, because she’s had a hard time being away from her family and hates the ‘drama and confrontation’ that so often erupts on movie sets.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com the source said: ‘These back-to-back 10-hour workdays have been a lot on her and she hates being away from Raddix.’

They added: ‘Cameron loves being a mom more than anything in the world.’

‘She hates drama and confrontation. This is why she retired from the business in the first place,’

‘She has already proven herself in the industry and has nothing left to prove to anyone.’

Cameron famously walked away from Hollywood in 2018 to spend more time with her rocker husband Benji, Madden 45.

The two welcomed their daughter in December 2019 and have been incredibly private about their lives as parents to their three-year-old.
