Renée Zellweger: Over the years
Renee Zellweger is a Southern belle who got her start in Hollywood in the ’90s, so it’s no surprise she evolved early. The Texas-born beauty’s big break came in 1996 with the movie ‘Jerry Maguire.’ She also proved her comedic talent with ‘Bridget Jones Diary’ and later got an Oscar nomination for her role in the musical ‘Chicago’. She won her first Oscar for ‘Cold Mountain’ in 2003 and would win another in 2019 for playing Judy Garland in the film ‘Judy’.
As Renee’s roles became more dramatic, her style began to become more sophisticated. She loves strapless dresses and long trains, drawing inspiration from old Hollywood glamour. And as for her gorgeous blonde locks, full waves and romance are always key.
Here, Renee appears in 1996’s ‘Jerry Maguire’ where she played the love interest of Tom Cruise.
