Renée Zellweger Reveals Someone 'Ripped' the Train of Her 2005 Oscars Gown Causing Embarrassing Wardrobe Malfunction

Renée Zellweger’s wardrobe malfunction at the 2005 Academy Awards can only be described as Bridget Jones-ian.

In a new interview with British Vogue, Zellweger, 55, looked back at 11 of her most iconic looks, including the stunning Carolina Herrera gown she wore to the award show two decades ago — which did not make it through the evening in one piece, per the actress.

“First of all, it's an incredible dress. I love that dress,” she said of the red, strapless gown, before going on to explain that there was a lot going on beneath the gown to maintain its silhouette.

“It's weighted and stuffed at the bottom so that it holds its shape,” she said, adding that it also had a “bustle,” an undergarment that padded and enhanced the garment’s appearance of fullness.

And, in true Bridget Jones fashion, the gown did not make it through the Oscars unscathed, Zellweger revealed. “I remember that as we were leaving that night, a gentleman had stepped on the train,” she told the the magazine, “and I kept walking in the other direction and it ripped it right off my dress.”

Not only did the train detach from her gown — it ripped off “from right beneath my booty,” she added with a laugh.

“So I walked in with that pose and I left with that pose,” she told British Vogue, referring to the way she stood on the red carpet with her hands behind her back. “And there were parties and things afterwards, but I needed to go home and do a little bit of a costume change.”

As she returned home to change, however, she once again channeled her iconic (and accident-prone) rom-com character when she “realized that I didn't bring my house key.”

“So I had to climb up the balcony to the second floor and climb in through a little bathroom window,” Zellweger recalled, “in that dress with the hole under my booty.”

Elsewhere in her walk down memory lane with British Vogue, Zellweger said she heard through the grapevine that her Bridget Jones costar Hugh Grant kept an NSFW piece of her character’s wardrobe.

While looking back at the revealing outfit Jones wore to what she believed to be a “tarts and vicars”-themed party in the very first Bridget Jones film, 2001’s Bridget Jones’s Diary, Zellweger began, “Oh, Bridget. Goodness, that costume made me laugh out loud.”

“It's such an unusual experience to be able to revisit a character in different stages of her life,” she continued, referring to the subsequent installments, including 2004’s Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason, 2016’s Bridget Jones's Baby and Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, which releases on Valentine’s Day this year.

“With each iteration, I think everyone involved, you know, we're all different people,” she said, “And to come back together and explore who these characters might be at this stage in life and to have a lot of folks who have related to these characters for such a long time, it's pretty special.”

Plus, Zellweger said, she “heard some rumor” that Grant (who portrays playboy and commitment-phobe Daniel Cleaver in the franchise) held on to the pair of Jones’ underwear that his character memorably described as “absolutely enormous.”

“But I don't know if that's true,” she added. “We'll have to ask him.”
