Here's what happened: an artist named Mads saw this video and felt inspired to draw George in all his sopping wet glory. Sadly, their timeline refreshed before they could even write down the
itty bitty miniskirt worn, most inappropriately, on a fire pole. And, of course, there's the iconicand knickers combo worn out in the snow—the perfect look for a first kiss with Colin Firth, IMO. But there's another iconic Bridget look you may be forgetting. Namely, the oh-so-simple, oh-so-chic LBD that Bridget wears in the first film at the
book launch. You know, the book launch where Bridget tells Salman Rushdie his books are "also very good" before almost saying "Mr. Tits-Pervert" on stage. You gotta love Bridget...The dress in question is a slinky, silky, plunging little black dress—simple, timeless, sexy. And it's a look that Zellweger just recreated on the red carpet almost 25 years later.Zellweger's updated take on the look, which she wore at the 2025 Gotham Television Awards on June 2 in New York, saw her wearing a simple black column dress that cinched ever so subtly at the waist. Instead of wearing the straps over her shoulders as she did in the film, she wore the straps in an off-the-shoulder style. She also rocked a simple hairdo, wearing a low bun with a loose strand framing her face. She completed the look with a simple pair of pointed black heels.
As Molly Emma Rowe, costume designer of the latest, Bridget isn't actually meant to be a fashion icon—at least not in the traditional sense. "She always gets things a little bit wrong," she said. "Maybe the fit is a little bit wrong, or the colors are a little bit wrong, or it just doesn't quite go together. [We wanted] to make her feel like everybody else, I suppose." Well, I would argue that this LBD is one exception. In fact, it's almost
chic for a woman who stands up on stage and proceeds to embarrass herself in front of all of her friends and colleagues.
This isn't the first time Zellweger has seemingly taken a little inspo from her iconic character on the red carpet. In January, sheMurph has learned so much from living a full life with his human mama, Belle, but his leash-carrying abilities may just be his cutest trick yet. He's so proud of the way he leads himself down the sidewalk, even though all his mom can see is his likeness to Santa's reindeer!
What a proud pup! He holds his head so high as he trots away with his leash in his mouth, and no one blames him one bit. Not many dogs get the privilege ofor going off-leash in public, but this good boy has earned it.
While commenter Jean joked that Murphy is "taking [his mom] for a walk" instead of the other way around, it looks like Belle has a hold on the leash the entire time. Even if Murph is an eager beaver who wants to take the lead like one of Santa's reindeer, his responsible dog mom is never far behind.Golden Retrievers are well-known for their
