Fans of Bridget Jones and her “enormous, scary stomach holding in pants” will be more than delighted to know that the rumours are true, Bridget Jones is returning to the silver screen for a fourth movie and both Daniel Cleaver and Netflix’s One Day star Leo Woodall are set to play her love interests.

The premise of this flick, like the previous three, is of course about Bridget and her tumultuous love life, however this time she’s a single mother of two in her 50s. Daniel Cleaver, played by Hugh Grant is set to make a return despite sitting out the last movie. Leo Woodall will play the part of Bridget 30-year-old love interest whilst famed British actress and Love Actually star Emma Thomson returns to the Bridget Jones universe, continuing her role as Bridget's doctor.

Though she might be older, it's very unlikely that Bridge is any wiser, which is exactly why fans love her so much. Ahead of the new film, we couldn't help but take a look back through her wardrobe archive. From her fancy dress bunny outfit to her puddle-soaked sundress, here are just a few of our favourite Briget Jones fashion moments that live in our minds rent-free...
Her Puddle Soaked Sun Dress
One of the many iconic scenes on our radar was when she got dolled up (out of her famous sweatpants) and into a cute dress, only for it to be ruined by the rain and a passing truck.
Her Aforementioned "Enormous Pants"

Her All-White Glastonbury 'Fit

Her All-Year-Round Christmas Pyjamas

Her Denim Overalls

As we wait in anticipation for next year's premiere, might I suggest a monthly rewatch of the first three movies?
