Award-winning actress Renee Zellweger walked the red carpet of the Elle Women in Hollywood Awards on Monday, wearing a sleek black midlength dress with sheer sleeves and exposed back, paired with gold accessories. But more than her sleek outfit, what really caused a buzz in Hollywood was her face, which was looking markedly different than it just did few months ago.

Fans, media and fellow celebrities got baffling at her appearance on the internet. This, plus rumours of an upcoming third Bridget Jones film bring her back into the limelight. Zellweger has kept a low profile since her last film in 2010, but she has long been a red carpet highlight at Academy Awards and film premiers - and still has in recent years.

As the 45-year-old actress steps back into the spotlight with a refreshed face, which she described as "peaceful" and "healthy", we gather her red carpet hits through the years, from the Oscars, to Metropolitan Museum’s annual star-studded openings and film premiers.
