Is this the chicest gossip session to have ever seshed? Likely. Cameron Diaz and Kate Moss set up the gossip shop on the front row of Stella McCartney’s Fall 2025 Paris Fashion Week show.
The designer’s show was set up like an office environment, where guests—including Diaz, Moss, First Lady of France Brigitte Macron, Paris Jackson, and Ice Spice–were handed corporate ID badges. It marks a fun return to “work” for Diaz, who makes her first appearance at fashion week of any city in 13 years. Some water cooler chat was more than welcome, we can imagine.
Both Diaz and Moss were dressed in head-to-toe Stella. Diaz wore a silken, draped red knee-length dress with long, unbuttoned sleeves, paired with an oversized white wool coat with large lapels and broad shoulders, square-toed patent pumps, and a brown shoulder bag. She wore her blonde hair in a loose, low bun and simple, chunky gold hoops.
Diaz made the most of her return to the fashion week schedule and trip to the French capital. Later, she stepped out for dinner and an evening with friends at celebrity favorite Costes—a chic and sensually lit haunt of Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and Rihanna.
Diaz kept up her allegiance to Stella with her outfit of the evening, wearing a croc-embossed black trench coat with a matching belt to cinch her waist, a sheer black turtleneck, tailored trousers, and a chocolate brown woven handbag. She kept up the pop of red theme and wore her heels from earlier in the day.
The last time Diaz stepped out at Paris Fashion Week (or any fashion event on the schedule) was for the Valentino 2012 spring summer Couture show. She wore a white crochet mini-dress with sheer panelling and accessorized with a tiny snakeprint pink clutch. She wore her then-signature blonde bob with a side-parting, and a slick of black eyeliner to sit front row. That same year, Diaz had starred as a Texas rodeo pro in Gambit alongside Colin Firth and Alan Rickman, and What to Expect When You’re Expecting with an all-star ensemble cast that included Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, and Anna Kendrick.
Diaz sitting frow for Stella felt particularly poignant. As Mark Holgate notes in his review of the show, McCartney’s offering asks: “Who exactly is holding the power here?”
“McCartney hasn’t ever shied from striving to not do things the same old way, and with the same old standards and ideals. She has stuck to her values and challenged the status quo…Given where everything is today—and given how fashion is having to work to maintain its relevance in the world—we need that now more than ever,” Holgate writes. That feels like a sentiment inflected in Diaz’s storied career and exertion of control over it too, and the path she’s forging once again for herself. All the while, looking chic and put together.
Fresh from her out-of-retirement film Back in Action with Jamie Foxx, Diaz is also set to star in the fifth instalment of the Shrek film franchise, this time, taking on Zendaya as her green, Gen Z ogress daughter.
PFW wraps up this weekend, but Cameron Diaz’s stylish and considered appearances make her the understated star of the week.
