Cameron Diaz turned heads while walking the red carpet of her first movie premiere in 11 years on Wednesday.
After the New York City premiere of Back in Action was canceled due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, the actress, 52, stepped out in Berlin, Germany, to promote the project alongside her costar, Jamie Foxx.
Diaz, wearing dark-washed wide-legged jeans and a sheer black top underneath a long trench coat, posed for pictures to celebrate the Netflix film. She accessorized with Jennifer Fisher Puffy Dagger earrings and an Alexis Bittar clip earring.

Diaz added a pop of color by matching her bright red nail polish with a red lip and rosy pink blush. For her hair, she opted for a fun, loose updo.
Foxx, 57, also chose a dark color scheme, wearing a black blazer with white and black stripes across its lining. The actor paired the look with black slacks and matching dress shoes.
Back in Action is Diaz’s first film since 2014’s Annie, in which she also starred with Foxx. They first shared the screen in 1999’s Any Given Sunday.

According to a synopsis, the new film directed by Seth Gordon stars Diaz and Foxx as former CIA spies Emily and Matt.
“Years after giving up life as CIA spies to start a family, Emily and Matt find themselves dragged back into the world of espionage when their cover is blown,” the synopsis explains.
Rounding out the cast are Glenn Close, Kyle Chandler, Andrew Scott, McKenna Roberts, Rylan Jackson and Jamie Demetriou.
Diaz’s return to acting was first announced in June 2022. At the time, Foxx told Entertainment Tonight that he convinced her to make a return to acting by promising that the two would have fun.

“So it was literally, ‘Do you wanna have some fun? Just have some fun!’ And I think that’s what brought her to it,” said Foxx. “We miss special moments sometimes in our business, and I think this is a special moment. So we’re so happy that it’s happening and looking forward to it.”
After Foxx had a medical emergency in April 2023 that interrupted filming for a period of time, he was seen wrapping up scenes with Diaz in January 2024.
Back in Action will be available to stream on Netflix on Friday, Jan. 17.
