Renee Zellweger, 55, showcases her toned arms in a chic houndstooth gown as she poses for selfies with fans at the Bridget Jones, Mad About The Boy premiere in Amsterdam

Renee Zellweger looked sensational as she attended the Bridget Jones, Mad About The Boy premiere in Amsterdam on Monday.

The actress, 55, who has reprised her role as the unlucky-in-love singleton in the romantic comedy, slipped into a effortlessly chic houndstooth gown to hit the red carpet after posing for selfies with excited fans. 

Renne displayed her incredibly toned arms in the one-shoulder dress after it was revealed they were her red carpet secret weapon and she loved nothing more than to show them off.

The look boasted silver buttons and quirky pleated detailing with the Oscar winner forgoing a necklace and letting the outfit speak for itself. 

Renne accentuated her age-defying fetaures with make-up and swept back her blonde locks as strands framed her dainty features.

She was joined at the premiere by co-star Chiwetel Ejiofor, 47, who plays her onscreen love interest Mr. Wallaker and the movie’s director Michael Morris.

It comes after Bridget Jones’ fourth big screen owas accused of going ‘woke’ in her return to the screen.

The character first appeared in a column in The Independent and when author Helen Fielding released Bridget Jones’ Diary in 1996, it quickly became a bestseller.

It was adapted for the screen in 2001, and the sequel The Edge of Reason followed in 2004, and then Bridget Jones’s Baby hit cinemas in 2016.

In all iterations of the franchise, Bridget is known for her obsessive calorie counting, chain-smoking and love of wearing big knickers.

In the fourth instalment, the character has found herself single again following the death of Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), and she has given up smoking.

And in the new movie, as seen by The Sun, Bridget shuns a compliment from a man at work who calls her ‘hot’.

She replies: ‘I think you will find that sort of language is a little outmoded in the workplace.’

What’s more, Bridget embarks on a romance with Roxster – played by 28-year-old Leo Woodall – and is thrilled when the young man asks for permission to kiss her.

She says: ‘Aw, a generation who ask.’

And when Bridget learns that Billy is a straight A student, she is reminded that education is more ‘about the journey’ than the result.  

The Academy Award-winning actress’s alter-ego is now a single mum to Billy and daughter , but receives a scolding from a nanny when she tries to describe her son as clever.

She says: ‘This is Billy — the science genius.’

The nanny replies: ‘Oh, you mustn’t pigeonhole children.’

As the trailer unravels, Bridget’s romance with Roxster heats up and the pair have ‘mindblowing sex’ after a date.

However, Bridget is left confused as flirtatious meetings with Mr Wallaker increase and she eventually stumbles into a barn to find him half-naked.

The movie was officially confirmed last year, with the script being penned by author Helen, Abi Morgan and Dan Mazer, and Michael Morris as director.

With her signature blend of charm and relatable messiness, Bridget shows that finding ‘happily ever after’ might be less about perfection and more about finding joy in the journey.
