13 Looks That Prove Cameron Diaz Is An Underrated Style Icon

When it comes to ’90s and Noughties It-girl style, the usual suspects spring to mind: Winona Ryder, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston. In other words, the holy trinity of slip dress and spaghetti-strap minimalism. But an often overlooked entry in the Calvin Klein-coded hall of fame? Cameron Diaz. Long before she was belting out “Mr Brightside” in a quaint English cottage or giving life to Princess Fiona, Diaz was strutting around Hollywood in a series of understated looks that made even the most devoted Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy disciples take notes.

Here, a few of Cameron Diaz’s best throwback moments and the ones we’ll be channelling this season (or, at least, when the weather warms up).
