There are still a few weeks to go until the Oscars but Renee Zellweger has already perfected her red-carpet pose.

According to a MailOnline report, the actress donned a gown worthy of the swankiest awards ceremony and with perfect make-up and a glamorous up-do headed outside to pout for the cameras last night.

But Renee's Oscars-ready posing was let down by her grimy surroundings - she was stood on a chilly and dirty New York Street. The actress was pictured outside the TV studios where she was interviewed for the Late Show With David Letterman.

Renee's figure hugging asymmetrical red gown and matching satin heels complimented her slender waist and porcelain skin.

Although not nominated for this year's Academy Awards the 39-year-old is expected to attend the ceremony on February 22.

She won a Best Actress Oscar in 2003 for her role in Cold Mountain, after missing out twice before.

Renee is currently filming My Own Love Song. The actress plays disabled singer Jane, who gets around with the aid of a wheelchair.

In the film she enjoys a road trip to Memphis with her best friend Joey, played by Forest Whitaker, an injured fireman.

The independent drama is being filmed by writer/director Oliver Dahan of La Vie En Rose fame.
