Cameron Diaz reveals she used to buy red carpet outfits from the high street

Cameron Diaz has revealed she used to buy her red carpet outfits from the high street in the early days of her career.

Speaking on make-up artist Gucci Westman’s YouTube series, the 47-year-old actor explained how different the red carpet is now compared to what it used to be.

“For my premieres, I would just go to Barney’s and buy clothes and go to my premiere,” she said.

Diaz went on to explain how, nowadays, celebrities are judged far more harshly for their outfits than they once were.

“It wasn’t like a whole production where you got judged or, what’s the word, rated or scored for how you look.”

Diaz added that today, stars are “objectified” on the red carpet.

The Charlie’s Angels star went on to talk about her marriage to Good Charlotte star Benji Madden.

“I love being married,” she said.

“I love that the best thing that ever happened to me was finding my husband, and our partnership and his friendship and all that.”

Diaz, who retired from acting in 2014, was also asked by Westman whether or not she would return to the industry.

“I’m never gonna say never,” she replied, “because I’m not a person who says never about anything.”

Diaz recently gave birth to her first child, Raddix, and opened up about being a new mother in a recent Instagram Live.

The actor star said she was “loving every minute” of being with her three-month-old baby and paid tribute to Madden, who she described as “amazing”.
