Bridget Jones is finally coming back to the big screen with a brand new adaptation of Helen Fielding's final novel in the series - Mad About the Boy.

We can't wait to see Renée Zellweger back in her iconic title role, as well as witness so many of the original cast members returning alongside some exciting new faces.

And, for the premiere in Paris on Monday (27 January) last night, Hugh Grant and Renée Zellweger were reunited on the red carpet for the first time in more than two decades.

The last photos of the duo snapped arriving at a red carpet event together was way back in 2004, when they attended a photocall to promote Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason in Berlin, Germany.

Back then, however, the pair were also joined by Colin Firth, and the three co-stars could hardly contain their laughter as they posed for the paparazzi. Renee had also gone dark, with a brunette hair transformation away from her trademark blonde locks.

Twenty years later, she's back to blonde, while Hugh has transitioned into a classic silver fox. Arriving at last night's premiere, Renee looked glowing with a fresh-faced makeup look, swept back hair into a ponytail, and a full length gown. Her split-leg, asymmetric dress was constructed of black lace with a scalloped edge, giving the illusion of a subtle sheer effect.

Hugh opted for a classic crisp white shirt and black blazer, and the duo appeared to be having fun together as they posed for paparazzi.
