Renee Zellweger in My Own Love Song

Renee Zellweger strikes a pose at the premiere of My Own Love Song during the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center on Thursday (April 22) in New York City.

The 40-year-old actress stars as a wheelchair bound former singer who heads out on a cross country trek with her stuttering friend, played by Forest Whitaker.

"It was so much fun. I had the best time in New Orleans with [Forest]. It was really a fantastic experience to share it," Renee said of making the film.

Renee was glowing wearing a midnight blue Vera Wang dress and has finally done something new with her hair. Although I'm not crazy about the style, it no longer appears wispy as it frames her face. Fred Leighton jewels and beige Christian Louboutin heels complete the look.
