Renée Zellweger is timeless.
For the London premiere of “Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy,” the actress dipped in the Balmain archives for her vibrant look — which is older than the series’ first movie, released in 2001.
Zellweger and her stylist, Petra Flannery, chose a fuchsia satin strapless gown with a long train from the brand’s fall 2000 Haute Couture collection, which was designed by Oscar de la Renta.
Skipping jewelry entirely, she accessorized the 25-year-old gown with dark red metallic heels.
Zellweger’s traded her new Bowie-inspired haircut, which she debuted on the cover of British Vogue’s Feb. issue a few weeks ago, for extensions styled in a half-up, half-down look, with one side falling over her shoulder.
Her red carpet number last night was a stark departure from the all-back look Zellweger, 55, wore to the film’s photocall earlier in the day.
Zellweger posed for photos in a long black blazer layered over a coordinating turtleneck and leather capris.
She accessorized the look with cat-eye sunglasses and pointy pumps.
The actress opted for extensions at the event as well, wearing her blond hair in a low ponytail.
At the Parisian premiere earlier this week, she chose an asymmetrical black lace custom Saint Laurent gown.
The franchise’s fourth film — with previous installations include “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason” and “Bridget Jones’s Baby” — sees Zellweger’s titular character as a widow and single mom raising two kids.
Attempting to navigate her life, Bridget is pursued by a much younger man, Roxster (played by actor Leo Woodall), on a dating app.
The film, which hits Peacock on Feb.13, also stars Hugh Grant and Colin Firth as well as Isla Fisher, Emma Thompson and more.
