Renee Zellweger looked disheveled as she continued filming scenes for Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy in London on Saturday.
The American actress, 55, was dressed in penguin pyjamas and grey jogging bottoms, teamed with a rugged faux-fur cardigan.
Renee paid tribute to her late husband Mark Darcy as she wore a silver necklace with a ‘D’ pendant.
She stepped out in white high-rise socks and brown Birkenstock sandals with a black handbag.
The movie is based on the novel of the same name as Bridget battles motherhood alone following the tragic death of Mark, who was played in the previous films by Colin Firth, 63.

She will also embark on a love affair with a much younger man named Rockstar, played by One Day star Leo Woodall, 27.
At one point, Renee was seen with her on-screen children, who star as daughter Mabel and son Billy.
The young actors wore school uniforms as Renee held their hands and walked them to school.
Actress Leila Farzad was also on set during filming and cut a chic figure in a cream beige suit.
In the new film, Bridget enjoys a fling with Rockstar and PE teacher Mr Walker, as played by 12 Years A Slave actor Chiwetel Ejiofor as well as reviving her on-off relationship with Hugh Grant’s Daniel Cleaver.
Chiwetel, 46, was seen shooting scenes last week which means only Hugh and Colin Firth – who has a small role in the movie as the late Mark Darcy – are yet to be spotted in character.
Renee and Leo were spotted filming together on May 18 in hilarious scenes as Bridget got stuck up a tree in Hampstead Heath.
Rockstar, who works as a park warden, seemingly comes to her rescue dressed in an all green uniform.

One onlooker said: ‘Leo and Renee looked like they were having a great time. There were lots of giggles, they seemed to get on really well.’
Bridget Jones filming comes on the heels of sheer delight from fans after the announcement of the beloved character’s return to the big screen.
Renee first appeared as Bridget in 2001’s Bridget Jones’ Diary and returned in 2004’s Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and 2016’s Bridget Jones’ Baby.
The movie was officially confirmed last month, with Renée and Hugh Grant’s comebacks made official – after his love rat character Daniel Cleaver’s death was falsified in 2016’s third installment.
The fourth movie in the franchise – based on the books by Helen Fielding – will be released by Universal film on US platform Peacock on Valentine’s Day 2025 while internationally, the flick will be released in cinemas.
Emma Thompson – who played Doctor Rawlings in the last film, is also back, with Chiwetel Ejiofor and White Lotus star Leo Woodall also set to star.
Renee has been busy since she arrived in London two weeks ago to reprise her role as the singleton for the fourth, and probably final, time.
She spent four days filming at ITV’s studios in White City, West London, where programmes such as This Morning and Loose Women are made.

There she met presenters from both shows, including Cat Deeley who was said to have been ‘super excited’ at seeing her.
Many studio staff were ‘overcome with excitement’ and desperate to get selfies with the Hollywood star when they realised that the movie was being filmed at their workplace.
Scenes were recorded on the set used by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly for their now defunct show Saturday Night Takeaway, while audience members from Loose Women were also asked to stay for filming of some scenes.
One source at ITV said: ‘It was chaos, imagine having Bridget come to your work. It was literally a dream come true. The place was absolutely buzzing. Word got round so fast, Cat was so excited.’
Bridget’s creator Helen Fielding has also been spotted at the filming as she prepares to say goodbye to the much-loved character. The film is due out on Valentine’s Day next year.
It was revealed last month that Bridget’s obsession with losing weight will be ‘played down’ in the film amid fears they might be a bad influence.
