Cameron Diaz's Couture Week Domination (PHOTOS)

When Couture Week kicked off with the Versace show on Sunday, we were a bit perplexed to see the guest list.

Diane Kruger was there, of course, she being the fashion industry's favorite celebrity mannequin. But sharing the spotlight was Cameron Diaz, clad in all black save for her extremely tanned face, taking in the Versace wares.

It seemed a bit strange, considering the "There's Something About Mary" star isn't a regular on the high-fashion circuit. Perhaps she's just a friend of Donatella's, we reasoned, or found herself with a free afternoon while shooting a rom-com in Paris.

We were wrong. Ms. Diaz, seemingly out of nowhere, has developed an apparently insatiable lust for couture. The blonde actress followed the Versace show with appearances at Christian Dior, Armani, Chanel and Valentino, sitting in the front row and hobnobbing with the fashion elite (Giorgio! Donatella!) at each.

Simply put, Cameron Diaz showed the couture shows who's boss.

Look out, New York Fashion Week -- Cam is coming for you. Witness Diaz's couture conquest below.

UPDATE: The Cut figured out why Cameron Diaz was all over Couture Week like white on rice: she was a guest of InStyle's Style Director, Samira Nasr. So there you go.

Love Cameron's new look! It's befitting her age yet youthful and sophisticated and stylish.

Ah...to be young, rich, and pretty. That girl looks like she's enjoying every second of it. You would if you could.

Anna Wintour has gotten more mileage out of one hairstyle than any woman since Cleopatra.

Cameron looks great, as always. Donatella Versace is starting to look like a character from the Neverending Story. Enough with the plastic surgery already.

In the first slide due to, I suppose, 'cosmetic dickering', she uncomfortably resembles Donatella.

Cameron Diaz looks peculiar, Donatella looks a fright and Wintour looks her usual self and that's not good. Time to buy new mirrors ladies.
