Renée Zellweger has been a trailblazer in wearing vintage dresses on the red carpet long before it became a trend. The Bridget Jones star has a go-to silhouette for big occasions, often opting for a fitted, mermaid cut with a strapless neckline. She would search through the archives of major couture houses for historical treasures, a style choice she made before it became popularized by others like the Kardashians.
One iconic look that stands out is the daffodil yellow Jean Dessès dress from 1959 that Zellweger wore to the 2001 Oscars. At the time, the first Bridget Jones film was hitting theaters, and now, 24 years later, the fourth installment, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, has just been released.
For the London premiere of Bridget Jones 4, Zellweger and her stylist Petra Flannery chose a vintage strapless gown that perfectly aligned with the film’s theme. It’s no surprise that Zellweger continues to set the standard for timeless and elegant fashion choices on the red carpet.
