Renee Zellweger stirred up buzz when she hit the red carpet Monday looking dramatically different than usual. The "Bridget Jones" star, 45, appeared at the ELLE Women in Hollywood Awards in Los Angeles on 20 October 2014, and photos from the event raised eyebrows and set tongues wagging.
Though many speculate that Renee's new look is the result of plastic surgery - pointing to her completely wrinkle-free face - she has never addressed the reports.
She has, however, commented on the criticism that she's too thin.
"When you read reports that you are starving yourself or that you are anorexic it's very unfair and disappointing," she told the U.K.'s Daily Express last November. "It's not very pleasant to read reports which say you've gone too far or this or that. I have a lifestyle that involves keeping my sanity by going to the gym."
For some it was reminiscent of "Dirty Dancing" star Jennifer Grey, who a few years ago surprised fans with a new look. But in Grey's case, she said, it was a result of two plastic surgeries on her nose that left her appearance more changed than she had anticipated. The new look didn't help Grey's career.
Despite her new look, Zellweger probably doesn't have to worry about it interfering with her career.
Zellweger, who attended the Women in Hollywood event with boyfriend Doyle Bramhall II, has kept a low profile in recent years but is due to appear opposite Keanu Reeves in the upcoming film "The Whole Truth" and, according to Deadline, is attached to star in "Same Kind of Different As Me." She also said recently that the prospect of returning for a third "Bridget Jones" film would be "really fun."
