Bridget Jones icon Renée Zellweger was pretty in pink as she rocked up to the London premiere of Made About The Boy.
The 55-year-old looked out of this world as she sported a form-fitting bright pink bandeau gown with a mini train and black high heels. She was all smiles as she stopped to pose for cameras on the carpet before the premiere. Her blonde locks were tied in a ponytail with one section flowing down the side of her face.
She ditched the jewellery to keep the focus on her Barbie-pink dress. The Hollywood A-lister was joined by none other than Hugh Grant - who she reunited with in Paris for the French premiere of the movie. The duo have been working together since the first film, Bridget Jones' Diary, was released in 2001.
Renee, 55, plays the titular role and Hugh, 64, stars as love rat, Daniel Cleaver. The London premiere also saw Renee's co-star Leo Woodall in attendance. Chiwetel Ejiofor, James Callis, Shirley Henderson, Olivia Dean and Jessie Ware were also in attendance on Wednesday night.

Millie Turner/Invision/AP)Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy follows author Helen Fielding's 2013 book of the same name. It's set 14 years after the events of The Edge of Reason. The latest instalment catches up with Bridget, who is now a 51-year-old widow who still keeps a diary. To the audience’s shock, Mad About The Boy reveals her beloved Darcy died five years ago, leaving Bridget as a single mother of two.
Bridget Jones’s Baby addressed Hugh Grant's character Cleaver’s absence by saying he had supposedly died in a plane crash, but the flick had one final twist. At the end of the film a newspaper headline revealed Daniel Cleaver had been found alive, so there was hope for him to return in a future movie.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, Wonka actor Hugh confirmed that he couldn't make Cleaver fit into the story of Bridget Jones's Baby, but knew the team behind Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy wanted the character to return, so he wrote some scenes that the filmmakers liked enough to incorporate them into the script.
The Heretic star went on to say Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is “very funny” and “very moving”, but revealed he only did a week’s work, so he isn’t in it a lot.
