Renée Zellweger was spotted on the Mississippi set of her upcoming movie project—and she's looking even more different than she did last week.

The Oscar-winning actress is seen wearing a brunette wig and wearing headphones as she makes her way to her trailer.

The 45-year-old is hard at work on Same Kind of Me, which co-stars John Newberg and Theodus Crane.

The A-lister made headlines last week after attending Elle's Women in Hollywood Awards event in Beverly Hills, where she caused a controversy over her fresh-faced look.

Shortly after, Zellweger released a statement to People regarding the hoopla around her new look, saying, "I'm glad folks think I look different! I'm living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I'm thrilled that perhaps it shows."

She continued, "My friends say that I look peaceful. I am healthy. For a long time I wasn't doing such a good job with that. I took on a schedule that is not realistically sustainable and didn't allow for taking care of myself. Rather than stopping to recalibrate, I kept running until I was depleted and made bad choices about how to conceal the exhaustion. I was aware of the chaos and finally chose different things."

She also went on to say that her age certainly plays a factor in her evolving look.

"Perhaps I look different. Who doesn't as they get older?! Ha. But I am different. I'm happy."

Kudos to that!
