The latest Bridget Jones film features a more mature storyline, revisiting the titular character four years after becoming a widow. Bridget, played by Renée Zellweger, faces new romantic possibilities while trying to rebuild her life. She meets the charming Roxster and her son's teacher, Mr. Wallaker, all while navigating her career with humor and insecurity. Costume designer Molly Emma Rowe discusses the challenges of designing Bridget's outfits and balancing her iconic style with her evolved identity. This installment blends humor with poignancy, reflecting Bridget's growth and the significance of reconnecting with a beloved character in her fifties.
When people asked me, 'What would be the thing that you want to do?,' it's always been to do a rom-com with Working Title.'
Bridget is back - and in a more melancholy offering than the previous three installments. There is still plenty of slapstick but life for Bridget hasn't been smooth since she reunited with Mark Darcy.
IndieWire spoke to Rowe about her work on the film, finding the line between sexy and funny, and making sure Bridget didn't lose her iconic short skirts.
Renée Zellweger's central performance keeps the film on track - as do Rowe's costumes, which feel of a piece with what came before while firmly establishing both Bridget's current identity.
