Renée Zellweger's Off-the-Shoulder Floral Dress Is a Masterclass in the Garden Girl Aesthetic

Renée Zellweger is continuing her Bridget Jones revival tour with another show-stopping look, this time thanks to Emilia Wickstead of Kate Middleton fame. Stepping out for the Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy premiere in Sydney, Australia, the actress donned a blue-and-white, off-the-shoulder dress with matching pointed-toe pumps, effectively giving a masterclass in the garden girl aesthetic. With an antique floral pattern, a tea-length hem, and a pair of black sunnies, the look recalled one legend in particular: the one and only Audrey Hepburn.

Posing on a balcony in front of the Sydney Opera House, Zellweger was joined by her co-stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall, plus the film's director, Michael Morris. Mad About the Boy is the fourth installment in the Bridget Jones franchise, and the first time Morris has joined its cast and crew to direct.

Monday's look wasn't the only winner in Zellweger's Bridget Jones promotional tour wardrobe, of course. Hitting the red carpet in New York City for the film's world premiere in January, the actress paid homage to the original movie's Y2K release date with a hot pink gown from Pierre Balmain's fall 2000 haute couture archive (which was released around the same time as Bridget Jones Diary).

The look was all the more surprising given the star's long, blonde extensions, which replaced a pixie cut she had debuted just days before. As far as beauty, Zellweger chose an appropriately noughties 'do—the side ponytail—and kept her makeup pink-toned and minimal.

Speaking to the bittersweet end of another Bridget Jones film, Zellweger recently told The Hollywood Reporter, "I’ll miss spending time with everyone that’s involved, friendships new and old. I don’t think I’ll ever let go of Bridget." She continued, "I have conversations about Bridget Jones pretty much every day. I meet people on the sidewalk and they want to share about their own Bridget Jones experiences. All my friends call me Bridget!"
