Busty: Renee Zellweger showed off some new-found curves as she arrived at the gym in Los Angeles earlier this week
Renee Zellweger, as she has shown over the years, comes in all shapes and sizes.
There's been her voluptuous Bridget Jones phase and then her turn-sideways-and-she'd-vanish phase.
These days, it seems, the 41-year-old actress is going for a wiry athletic look, whittling down her shape to her slimmest yet with one concession - a startlingly generous bustline.
Uplifting: Renee certainly appeared to have relied on underwear to give herself a little help in the cleavage department, compared to last week (right)
Miss Zellwegger puts her new shape down to almost daily visits to the gym, which she insists are more to benefit her mind than body.
'The gym is my therapy,' she has explained.
'The perk of going and spending time by myself and getting my head straight is that I get fit. That's not the goal, but it's a nice by-product.'
Her boosted bustline, however, is something of a mystery, given that gym devotees generally complain of shrinking in that area.
Observers suggested she may have had plastic surgery, or simply treated herself to a push-up bra.
With her tight grey T-shirt drawing even more attention to her new-found curves, Renee looked happy and smiled for photographers before heading into the gym for a workout session.
Changing shape: Renee famously gained weight to play Bridget Jones in Bridget Jones's Diary but she was much thinner at the 2008 Oscars
And it doesn't matter where Renee is - she will always find somewhere to work out.
She added: 'Wherever I move, or wherever I’m stationed, or whatever phase of life I’m in, the gym is my common denominator. I move to LA? I find my gym. I get to Santa Fe? I find my gym. In New York? Found my gym.'
But despite having slimmed down to the thinnest she has ever been, Renee says she doesn't understand why everyone in Hollywood is so obsessed with being skinny.
She said recently: 'I don't understand where it comes from, this paradigm for beauty. Look at the sirens of the '40s and '50s.
They were voluptuous and gorgeous. What happened to that? Who does it benefit that we have this obsession.
'I think Marilyn made a dress look pretty damn good. And so did Jayne Mansfield, for crying out loud. And Rita Hayworth certainly filled out a gown.'
