Renée Zellweger channeled her character Bridget Jones’ penchant for pink at the world premiere of “Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy” on Tuesday in London.

The actress looked vibrant in a vintage hot pink strapless gown from Pierre Balmain’s Fall 2000 haute couture collection, which featured a dramatic train. She paired burgundy heels and a statement cocktail ring with her look.

She posed with her co-star in the film, Leo Woodall, who plays her character’s love interest. Woodall sported a brown velvet suit, which he wore over a black shirt.

Zellweger hit the pink carpet at the Leicester Square premiere one day after she made an appearance at the film’s Paris debut. There, she wore a striking floor-length Saint Laurent gown. The actress’ one-shoulder lace dress featured floral detailing throughout and a scalloped neckline. She paired black pointed-toe pumps with her look, and opted to wear her hair in an updo.

Zellweger was joined at the event by co-stars Hugh Grant, Oscar-nominated actor Chiwetel Ejiofor and Woodall. Grant selected a black velvet suit for the premiere, while Ejiofor went for a black double breasted jacket and trousers. Woodall was slightly more casual — but still cool — in a leather bomber and trousers.
