I have a confession: I like Renee Zellweger. I know a lot of people who find her annoying - particularly the way she tends to squint and purse her lips whenever a camera is pointed in her general direction - but she’s been in several of my favorite movies. How can I not l feel affectionate toward the woman who brought both Bridget Jones and Roxie Hart to life on the silver screen!? Anyhow, given my secret Zellweger love, I was extremely happy to see her looking ravishing in red for a recent Letterman appearance to promote her movie New in Town.

Aren’t you loving this!? Her slim-cut, one-shoulder (call it the Michelle Obama effect!) Nina Ricci dress, a glorious shade of crimson with sparkling accents, is complemented by equally intense ruby-hued heels and a huge red cocktail ring. The color gives Renee a much needed dose of - well, color. I think she could’ve even pulled off a bold red lip and gotten away with it! But then again, this was a talk show appearance, not the red carpet. Speaking of which, how can Renee go from that bizarre Caroline Herrera get-up she wore to the Golden Globes to this in a matter of weeks? Did she fire her old stylist or merely come to her senses? In case you can’t recall what she wore to the GGs, here’s a little refresher:

Yikes. Nothing, but nothing, she wore that night did her any favors. But cast your eyes back up to the red Letterman dress! See, Renee’s still got it! She’s just been…hiding it from us for a little while. What do you think? Does Renee deserve the Most Improved Fashion award or what?
