Cameron Diaz has insisted that it will be women who will change the world as she took to the stage at ELLE’s 2024 Women in Hollywood celebration on Tuesday.

The actress, 52, looked incredible during the evening, wearing a glitzy sequin belted dress with an elegant skirt and a pair of black heeled pumps.

Cameron wore her blonde locks in soft waves and opted for glamorous make-up, while adding a slick of red lipstick to complete her glamorous ensemble.

Addressing the audience on stage in a video shared by Elle’s social media page, Cameron said: ‘This is the kind of conversation, these are the kind of notions and the thoughts that we need to share with the world…

‘To help them understand that women do shape this world. Women are in fact the ones who are going to change it.’

Inside the bash, Cameron caught up with some of the rest of the Hollywood elite, including Demi Moore, Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez.

Elle’s 2024 Women in Hollywood event celebrates the women whose ‘daring work challenged and inspired’ this year.

10 women were selected for this year’s issue, including Demi, Selena, Cynthia Erivo, Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton.

Cameron’s appearance comes soon after she opened up about reigniting her acting career after going into retirement six years ago.

During an appearance at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in October, she revealed she had to ‘push’ herself to return in front of the camera after enjoying time with her family, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

It’s been 10 years since Cameron last starred in a film – the 2014 movie musical Annie – but she now has several movies in the pipeline, including Back in Action, her upcoming Netflix film with Jamie Foxx.

In the time since her last film, she also entered the wine business, launching the natural wine Avaline in 2020.X

Cameron admitted she could have remained at home with her family for as long as she’d like after the pandemic, but ultimately decided to pursue acting once again with the support of her husband, Benji Madden, 45.

‘It was just the right time for my family. After Covid, we were in the house for a long time, which was amazing and the problem was we would probably stay there, we would still be there right now,’ Diaz said.

Addressing the audience on stage in a video shared by Elle’s social media page, Cameron said: ‘This is the kind of conversation, these are the kind of notions and the thoughts that we need to share with the world…’
