Fall events season is in full swing, and Cameron Diaz isn’t missing out.
This week, the Back in Action actress stepped out for ELLE’s 2024 Women In Hollywood Celebration, which was presented by Ralph Lauren, Harry Winston and TikTok.
It was a star-studded affair, which also saw attendance from Rita Wilson, Zoe Saldaña, Alix Earle, Selma Blair, Tilda Swinton, Julianne Moore, Melanie Griffith and Saoirse Ronan, among others.
For the glitzy night out, Cameron sparkled in a black, sequin fitted long sleeve top paired with a black a-line skirt and matching pumps, plus she had her signature blonde hair styled in soft waves, and added a pop of color by way of a red lip.
And during the event, in addition to speaking on stage, Cameron also enjoyed a reunion with one of her co-stars, none other than Demi Moore, who played the villain in 2003’s Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.
The past few months, Cameron has been stepping back into the spotlight, after previously retiring from acting in 2014, though she is making her comeback in the forthcoming action movie fittingly named Back in Action, also starring Jamie Foxx.
Last month, she opened up about her retreat from the spotlight and her return, plus focusing on her family with husband Benji Madden, which includes their daughter Raddix, four, and son Cardinal, who was born earlier this year.

Speaking at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, she reflected on how her ten-year retirement awarded her the time she needed to build her family with Benji, saying: “We were in the house for a long time, which was amazing,” before noting she “had to push” herself to step back into acting.

Cameron also gushed about how Jamie, who was her co-star in her last movie, 2014’s Annie, was the perfect partner once she was ready for a comeback. “I couldn’t say no to Jamie,” she said, and recalled: “He said, ‘Come with me.’ And I was like, ‘Okay, let’s do it.’ It’s our third film together.”
