Renee Zellweger channeled 1950s Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe in a very leggy shoot for C Magazine.
The 55-year-old A-lister looked out of this world as she debuted a short, curly blonde hairdo while posing in a striking shoot for the California Style & Culture publication.
The actress graced as the issue’s spring cover star, slipping into a huge faux-fur pink jacket and towering court heels.
In another shot, Renee looked worlds away from Bridget Jones as she posed in a trench coat, without an ounce of clothing underneath.
As Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy released on Valentine’s Day, Renee stunned in the striking shoot as she raved about how much she loves being in her fifties.
The Hollywood icon spoke about the change she has felt in herself since turning 50, admitting ‘life is simultaneously more and less complicated’.

She said: ‘In your 50s, life is simultaneously more and less complicated. You lose people. Things don’t turn out the way you expected they might.’
‘Fifty is awesome — it really is. I hope I’m a little bit wiser. I’m definitely better with boundaries and with recognizing what’s important.
‘And I have a better understanding of my business and of what makes me happy, personally, working within it. I’m just better under the radar. That’s good for me’, Renee added.
Renee reflected on her last few decades in Hollywood and how she ‘never really felt like she existed’.
She said: ‘I never really existed in the orbit of Hollywood. When I first came to L.A. from Texas and I did live in Hollywood — physically — my life was really simple. It was never really a thing for me to rub shoulders.’
The actress declared she prefers a much more quieter life, especially since she has entered a new decade and after years of being in the spotlight.
She said: ‘I live a quiet life. It’s easier to do now, I suppose, because I don’t have to go into the rooms as frequently as in the beginning. But Hollywood is magic and spectacular, and it has meaning in ways that I couldn’t imagine when I was a young person.
‘It’s only negative if the wrong things are motivating you or if you’re doing things that aren’t necessarily healthy.’

Renee is currently in a relationship with boyfriend Ant Antstead.
The couple first became an item after meeting on his show Celebrity IOU: Joyride in 2021, and have largely refrained from discussing their relationship in public.
Renee won the hearts of fans when she first played the lovelorn ‘singleton’ in the 2001 film Bridget Jones’ Diary, based on a novel by Helen Fielding.
She has since starred in two sequels and is now back for a third, which is also adapted from a book by the author of the original instalment.
In the new film, Renee can be seen acting alongside franchise stalwarts Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Jim Broadbent and Emma Thompson.
Mad About The Boy also features new additions to the series, such as 12 Years A Slave star Chiwetel Ejiofor and Wedding Crashers actress Isla Fisher.
Previously in the Bridget Jones franchise, she found herself in a love triangle between Mark (Colin Firth) and Daniel (Hugh Grant).
She ultimately marries Mark – but by the time of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, he has been killed in a bombing and she is raising their children alone.
The new movie sees Bridget coping with her grief and finding love again, with two handsome young suiters vying for her affections.
