Cameron Diaz has been open about not liking the way she looked after Botox, an injectable treatment that relaxes facial muscles and smooths lines and wrinkles. It’s one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the world.

“I’ve tried [Botox] before, where it was like [a] little tiny touch of something. It changed my face in such a weird way that I was like, ‘No, I don’t want to [be] like [that],’” Cameron told Entertainment Tonight in 2014. “I’d rather see my face aging than a face that doesn’t belong to me at all.”

“I love it, I don’t mind. It’s like, ‘Guess what this means, I’ve smiled my whole life.’ I love life. I’m happy I don’t have a problem with that,” Cameron added about her laugh lines.

In a May 2016 interview with HuffPost, she emphasized that she passes “no judgment on how people feel good.”

“They’re to help people feel a little bit better about themselves,” Diaz said about Botox and plastic surgery.

“If they do feel better about themselves, then those procedures have worked. I have no problem with that. And [in] a lot of instances, it does make you look like you’ve taken a nap … or that you might be a little younger than you looked maybe the day before.”

She accessorized with bracelets by Carbon & Hyde. Do you think it was a good idea to style the navy blue dress with booties in the same color?

While the dress can be purchased at Farfetch and Net-a-Porter, we have not been able to find her Salvatore Ferragamo booties online.
