Renee Zellweger cut a quirky figure as she stepped out during the annual Edinburgh Film Festival in Scotland on Saturday.
The two time Oscar winner, 56, wore a flat cap and dark hades while paying a nod to her host country with a plaid scarf.
Zellweger wrapped up warm in a black coat which she teamed with jeans and appeared in high spirits while posing for selfies outside a screening.
It comes following DailyMail.com learned that the actress and her British TV host boyfriend Ant Anstead had been living apart for the past year.
The couple, who began dating in 2021, have not been seen together in public since early March when they were snapped supporting Anstead’s young son at a soccer game.
Known for his roles in TV shows Wheeler Dealers and Born Mechanic, has instead been spotted staying overnight at the Laguna Beach home of a glamorous California divorcée while Zellweger has been in New York filming for a TV show.

Anstead, 46, is now facing bankruptcy for his car company, a raft of lawsuits demanding over $3million, and has been selling off his assets.
In recent years he owned a multi-million-dollar house in the exclusive town of Laguna Beach, California, and was pictured in 2022 moving in with Zellweger in her $30,000-per-month clifftop home across the street.
But for the past year he had downgraded to a modest, 832sqft, two-bed rental listed at $4,250 per month.
Anstead’s spokeswoman told DailyMail.com the small house he left over a month ago ‘was rented solely by Mr. Anstead’. His landlord confirmed Zellweger was not on the lease.
The Bridget Jones’s Diary star has been in New York City filming a new season of popular Hulu show, Only Murders in the Building, while Anstead was believed to be spending time in the UK, in recent weeks before returning to Laguna.
His rep told DailyMail.com he ‘continues to remain private about his cherished personal relationship.’ Zellweger’s rep declined to comment.
Meanwhile, a source close to the Bridget Jones star told DailyMail.com they are still dating, despite living apart.
But last week, Anstead was spotted staying overnight at a separate unit at the home of wealthy 36-year-old Laguna woman Julia French – who goes by ‘Jules’.

Jules, who has worked as a certified spin instructor at Rhythm Ride Laguna Beach according to her Facebook page, is currently divorcing her hedge fund founder husband, James Hanna III, the father of her two young children.
A keen-eyed observer told DailyMail.com that in recent months Anstead was even spotted meeting Jules on the beach for a sunset rendezvous, a romantic setting in the sought-after Southern California coastal town.
However, the pair have never been seen engaging in any non-platonic behaviour.
A source close to Anstead claimed he had been staying in the apartment on the property since he moved out of his modest rented house around April.
‘One of her kids goes to the same school as Hudson. When Ant’s working late or needs childcare, Hudson goes back with Jules’ kids. Then in the evening Ant picks Hudson up,’ the source said.
‘But they’ve had this flirtatious friendship going on,’ the insider added. ‘So when he moved out of [his two-bed rental], he moved into the apartment above the garage at Jules’ place.
‘He’s trying to find another rental place. But for now, he’s got stuff in storage and he’s got a lot of stuff with Jules.’
The French family are well-known in Laguna and own several properties around the elite seaside town.
Her beachfront, five-bed home is worth an estimated $8million according to real estate site Redfin, and has a separate two-bed unit.
‘That’s kind of how the relationship works.’
