"First of all, it's an incredible dress. I love that dress," she told the magazine. "It's weighted and stuffed at the bottom so that it holds its shape."

The two-time Oscar winner told the outlet that as she was leaving the event "a gentleman had stepped on the train" while she "kept walking in the other direction" resulting in the train tore completely off her dress, leaving her in an awkward situation.

Unfortunately, not only did the train detached from the gown it ripped right off from beneath her booty.

The 55-year-old artist said that after the incident she stood on the red carpet with her hands behind carefully hiding her back.

The night took another turn when she left for home to change her dress for after parties and “realized that I didn't bring my house key.”

“So, I had to climb up the balcony to the second floor and climb in through a little bathroom window,” Zellweger recalled, “in that dress with the hole under my booty.”

Renée Zellweger, is set to make a comeback to Hollywood after six-year hiatus with upcoming fourth Bridget Jones movie, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
