The changing look of Renee

General style: Unveiling a dramatic new hair colour at the recent film premiere, Renee's most recent look paid homage to the current 50s sweetheart fashion trend. To complement those new dark locks, the 35-year old actress chose a feminine grey and white print dress, minimal jewellery and metallic mocha strappy sandals and clutch bag that were an uncanny shade match with her new hair colour. These accessories really pulled the outfit together, ensuring that all eyes were on her.

Make-up: With such a strong hair colour, Renee's make-up needed to be noticed to avoid making her appear washed out. The actress worked her new look to perfection by opting for a monochrome colour palette, including natural toe and fingernails, defined eyebrows that framed her face, a touch of white-gold highligher worn on the brow bone to open up her deep-set eyes, rosy pink blusher applied to the apples of the cheeks for a healthy flush and baby pink lips that made the most of her full pout.

Hair: Having put Bridget Jones firmly behind her, Renee's sultry new look caused a sensation at the premiere, and her understated yet striking look succeeded in reinventing the actress's image once again. Her deep brown-black hair colour is for her next film, The Cinderella Man with Russell Crowe, and although the cool tone really works with Renee's alabaster complexion, it's early days as to whether or not she will continue to favour brunette over blonde. However, talking recently about her new look, she stated, 'I get more privacy because people don't recognise me. I didn't think it would make such a big difference.' To get the look, Renee's hair was simply flat-ironed, pulled back off her face for a clean silhouette, and gloss spray added for a mirror-like finish.
