Little Miss Never-Wrong-But-Never-Quite-Right (we’re workshopping the nickname) strikes again. Renee Zellweger came to the Amsterdam premiere of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy in a look that pretty much summarizes her whole approach to red carpet style.

She’s really hard to pin down. Given how tight a style framework she imposes on herself, we figure she’s not much of a fashion girlie and sees the whole enterprise as just another job duty for her to fulfill. On the other hand, while we find this dress, like most of what she wears in public, to be stale and aging, it’s not generic or workmanlike. For some reason, we feel it necessary to point out that she’s either a contemporary of or younger than J Lo, Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton. To be clear, she’s not required to adopt any of the comparatively aggressive public style tactics of any of those women, but through her style choices, she tends to give the impression that she’s a much older star who came up through the ranks well before the modern red carpet and that’s not really true. There’s not much she could do to make us love this dress, but her main problem, aside from a preference for fairly safe styles, is that she does nothing to style them. The hair and makeup are casual, there’s virtually no jewelry to be spotted, and she’s sporting the least interesting shoes she could pick. It’s fine. She’s never a disaster. It’s just that she could be so much more interesting with barely any effort. In related news, we really hate those mumsy buttons.
