When Cameron Diaz attended Paris Couture Week in January, she had several major pinch-me moments. “When I was 18 and modeling in Paris, I saw Karl Lagerfeld in a crowd of people and was like, ‘Oh my god!’” she recalls to InStyle. “And here I am 20 years later meeting him for the first time.”

Making her inaugural trek to the shows with InStyle, Diaz got to visit several designers’ ateliers and meet the seamstresses who spend hours upon hours creating luxury garments. “It was amazing … couture really is an art form,” she says. At Valentino’s atelier, “the women were so sweet and excited about what they do,” she recalls. “I told them through a translator how in awe of them I was.”

Diaz’s trip to Paris also marked the big debut of her extra-short haircut, styled by the same friend who’s been cutting her hair for the past nine years. “She cut my hair really short,” Diaz says. “But then I thought, ‘No, I really like this!’ It’s freeing, and I feel so much lighter.”

When Cameron Diaz left her long hair behind this month, one would’ve assumed she lost some styling options in the process. But the actress is showing just how versatile a short cut can be, wearing her hair four different ways in as many days while out in Paris this week.

On Tuesday, before the Armani Privé fashion show, Diaz parted her platinum do from the side (top left), tucking loose ends under her ear. The day before, the actress popped by the Dior show sporting an easy updo (top right), with her roots teased and her ends neatly pinned on the back of her head.

Before Monday’s Versace show, Diaz displayed yet another look, this one a sleek, style that gave her roots lift and left her ends slicked at the back of her head (bottom left). But our personal favorite is her latest, which she wore to Valentino’s Thursday show: a feminine, slightly curled look with long bangs and lots of volume. Tell us: Which of Diaz’s hairstyles is your favorite? If you have short hair, how do you style it?

There’s something about Cameron! The actress returned to her There’s Something About Mary roots recently, debuting a choppy blonde bob while vacationing in Hawaii.

Though it’s obviously not a new look for the star, Diaz had spent the past several years with longer, slightly more golden locks — minus that period in 2006-2007 when she went brunette. But perhaps with a new year — and some new roles — ahead of her, the star was looking for a change. Tell us: What do you think of Diaz’s new do?

Call her fit, fine, fashionable — but don’t call her trendy. Speaking to reporters Sunday night at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles, Cameron Diaz said her style is all her own.

“I have never been into trends. I don’t understand trends,” she said. “I tried on a dress a few days ago that was like, spring 2012, and I was like, ‘Where are we?’ Why can’t I just buy a dress for summer 2011? That’s all I need.”

Looking chic in an A.L.C. strapless “Astrid” dress (ironically from the brand’s resort 2012 collection), the actress joked that fashion is moving too fast for her. “By the time we get to 2012, I am going to be wearing something for 2013 … It doesn’t really make any sense to me!”
