Cameron Diaz was spotted showcasing her natural beauty while on set in New York City this Monday.
The 53-year-old star, who bid farewell to Botox years ago, exuded glamour with dramatic eye makeup and a leopard-print headband while filming the romantic comedy, “The Sham.”
Having made her acting comeback last year after a ten-year break, Diaz is vocal about embracing the aging process and has decided against undergoing plastic surgery.
Joining her on set was co-star Stephen Merchant, who also serves as the film’s writer and director. The movie centers on a sham marriage that blossoms into an unexpected love story, with Diaz portraying a struggling comedienne.
Later in the day, Diaz switched her wardrobe, stepping out in a look that included hoop earrings and a cheetah-print headband atop a casual topknot.
Her age-defying charm was further highlighted by a Coors T-shirt, complemented by a gray striped tweed sport coat and dark jeans, as she appeared to enjoy a lively scene with Merchant.

The filming comes shortly after Diaz opened up about her distaste for Botox and other cosmetic procedures, as she prefers to embrace natural aging.
Over a decade ago, she said she ‘regretted’ how Botox ‘changed’ her face and revealed she stopped wearing heavy makeup in her 40s.
‘I’ve tried [Botox] before, where it was like [a] little tiny touch of something,’ she recalled.
‘It changed my face in such a weird way that I was like, “No, I don’t want to [be] like [that],”‘ she told Entertainment Tonight in 2014.
She added: ‘I’d rather see my face aging than a face that doesn’t belong to me at all.’
A source close to Diaz also previously revealed that she used to be ‘under pressure’ to get work done, but ‘hated’ how Botox changed her natural appearance.

Cameron’s gone natural – do you rate it?
‘It’s no secret Cameron used to get a little bit of work, just like everybody else in her industry, she was under pressure to get Botox and all that stuff,’ the insider told OK Magazine.
‘But she hated how it changed her face and swore off it years ago, and it’s really paid off because she looks fantastic and very natural, unlike a lot of her peers.’
In The Sham, Merchant stars as a British employee of an upscale New York hotel who desperately needs a wife to maintain public appearances.
Diaz’s struggling comic needs health insurance and plots a transactional fake marriage with him.
Even though the pair’s fake marriage begins as a business transaction, it soon turns into an unexpected romance.
The Prime Video romantic comedy kicked off production in New York City last month, and no release date has been announced.
