Rene Zellweger excited by cocktail dress

7th April 2011

(Cover) - EN Star Style - Rene Zellweger loved the cocktail dress she wore to the Tommy Hilfiger charity bag launch last night so much that she couldnt wait to hear what fashion critics had to say about it.

The 41-year-old actress is the face of Tommy Hilfigers latest charity campaign, with the brand having created a tan suede and leather handbag with gold accents to raise money for Breast Health International (BHI), which aims to educate people about breast cancer and promote research into the disease.

For every bag sold $100 of the $299 retail price will be donated to the non-profit organisation, and Rene was launching the accessory in Milan yesterday.

There was a special celebratory party at the Tommy Hilfiger flagship store, and Rene admitted she was confident her green cocktail frock would impress fashion critics.

Im excited about the dress Ill be wearing tonight. I want to hear what you think of it, I love it, she told reporters.

There was a press conference before the soiree, where Rene discussed using her celebrity for good. The star considers charity work to be hugely important, and hopes the bag will raise plenty of cash.

Theres a curiosity about people in films, music and entertainment, or those who are perceived as taste makers - what they are interested in, what they are wearing, where they are going. If this in some way can raise awareness about the initiative between Tommy Hilfiger and BHI, then great, all the better, Marie Claire reports the star as saying. (C) Cover Media
