Renée Zellweger just took houndstooth to a daring new level, and we're promptly off to shop items in this timeless pattern for our own wardrobes.
Renée Zellweger stunned in a beautiful houndstooth outfit this month during the Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy Premiere in Amsterdam. Expertly styled by Petra Flannery, we can't stop thinking about the one-shoulder dress by Tamara Ralph - Jimmy Choo heels were also a perfect finishing touch.
When it comes to spring and summer fashion trends, prints and patterns are set to be huge, and nothing is more ageless and eye-catching than houndstooth. After seeing the actress's incredible attire, we're now just as exciting to shop for houndstooth pieces as we are for the final Bridget Jones instalment to land.

Woman&home Digital Fashion Editor, Caroline Parr, is a fan of how Renée chose to wear the houndstooth trend. "Only last week Kate Middleton wore her favourite houndstooth dress with a pussybow neckline, but Renee just gave houndstooth the most incredible twist.
The one shoulder shape and asymmetric pleating on this dress is utterly stunning. It's a super glamorous take on the heritage trend that's so huge at the moment," Caroline says. Completing her look with a simple up-do and pared back makeup, this is one of the best red carpet looks we've seen.
