Lady in red: Cameron Diaz looked lean and toned in her asymmetrical Azzaro dress as she attended the premiere of the Green Hornet in Hollywood last nightHelping to fight bad guys and rid the world of crime clearly appears to have done wonders for Cameron Diaz.
The actress looked in the best shape of her life as she arrived at the premiere of her latest film in Hollywood last night.
She posed for the cameras as she walked into Grauman's Chinese theatre and showed off a very trim figure which looked toned and lean in her fitted red Azzaro dress.
Diaz, who looked tanned from her New Year's holiday to Mexico with baseball star boyfriend Alex Rodriguez, has always boasted a slimline figure since she shot to fame in The Mask in 1994 aged 21.
But Diaz, 38, looked like she could still pass for a woman in her twenties with her stunning figure giving any younger counterpart a run for their money.
She demanded the flashbulbs' attention in her asymmetrical Azzaro dress and nude Casadei shoes as she joined her co-stars for the screening.

The Green Hornet is a superhero film, based on the fictional character created by American writer Fran Striker for radio in the 1930s.
Written by and starring Seth Rogen, the Knocked Up star plays Britt Reid, the son of wealthy newspaper publisher James Reid- played by Tom Wilkinson - who inherits his father's media empire when he dies.
He teams up with his father's assistant Kato, played by Jay Chou, to become a masked crime fighting team, that, with some extra help from new secretary Lenore Case, played by Diaz, battles Russian criminal Benjamin Chudnofsky, played by Christoph Waltz, who controls the city's criminal underworld.

Then 14, he is now 33 and looked all grown up as he smiled for the cameras at the premiere of the film, in which he plays Tupper, one of Chudnofsky's minions.

Guest list: Actresses Sara Rue and Sophia Bush joined the audience for the screeningAnd Rogen said he found the action scenes quite tough to film.
He said: 'We tried to use as few visual effects as possible. So there's a lot of cars crashing through buildings and explosions and stuff, and I just had to try to not look as terrified as I was for the most part.
'In the action scenes, what you have to be most conscious of is not getting blown up or run over by a car. It can be dangerous.'
