Looking good is the best revenge -- just ask Renee Zellweger.

Days after splitting with her boyfriend of nearly two years, Bradley Cooper, the 41-year-old actress put her best foot forward when she attended a pal's low-key birthday bash at NYC's La Esquina restaurant Saturday.

PHOTOS: Hollywood's most devastating splits

"She wore a skin-tight black dress and amazing lace-up shoes," an eyewitness tells UsMagazine.com. "She looked smokin' hot."

And people certainly noticed. "At one point, three waiters came up to see if the table needed anything because they wanted to check out Renee."

PHOTOS: Better after breakup

Though Us broke the news of her split just one day earlier, the Oscar-winning actress showed no signs of heartbreak during the outing. (She and Cooper, 36, began dating in July 2009 after meeting on the set of the thriller Case 39 four years earlier).

"She tried to make it work, but in the end it was too hard," a Zellweger insider told Us. "Her friends feel bad it ended, but she's okay."

    Renee is such a great lady and Bradley is a CAD, just like Justin Timberlake. Hopefully, those 2 guys will get their turn to have someone step on them. Maybe Renee could adopt a baby like Sandra Bullock and say to HECK with these shallow guys.

    She makes the ugliest faces. She always looks like she is sucking a lemon. Maybe it is nerves.

    I love her as an actress,but she is no beaty.

    I love Renee... but that is a horrible hair cut. It doesn't suit her at all :(

    Oh My God.

    I love her! She is smart, beautiful, and will be more than okay. Much success to this gem of a woman.

    Renee's haircut makes her look like a half-wit. Sorry, but it's ridiculously terrible!

  • March 21, 2011 - 6:48pm Melissa Strickland Miles

    Good for her. Can't stand B. Cooper, he treats women like sh@t. Hope she finds a nice guy one day.

    I like her cut. Love her she nice.... Who are you people to judge. One day God will Judge you....She look's nice...God Bless..

    sorry the duck lip look is doing her any justice. She has a very cute look but she lost it in this picture EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

    I'm sorry but she looks like sh1t.... her haircut is boyish, she's way too skinny and that grin leaves something to be desired... Sure she can act but she looks like a walking corpse... just saying, sorry Renee. To Kim, I don't think us grown ups are being mean, face it... I've seen her look better and if I were her, well, I wouldn't want this picture posted. She's no Angelina Jolie, that's for sure. Normally I get defensive when I read "nasty" but she does not look good here at all. Sorry :(

    Why do people and mostly "grown ups" have to be so mean to others? Yet, the same people stand up and complain about bullying, don't want their families and kids attacked. These are human beings people!! Renee isn't ugly by far...I'd describe her as cute. She's also by far a classier woman than most in Hollywood. Play nice.

    Also, if THIS is "Smokin Hot", someone better put it out......QUICK!

  • March 21, 2011 - 3:14pm Patricia George Pratt

    YIKES! What a scary picture! I don't think I've ever seen a flattering photo of this woman. Sure, she can act, but come on already! Is that supposed to be a seductive "pucker"? OMG!! Or how about those scary eyes? She definitely needs new brows.

  • March 21, 2011 - 2:48pm Danny Hahn-Nolan

    I love Renee Zellweger! She is a charm to watch onscreen and I think she is super cute!! Not at all your typical look. Yeah... she looks much better in her movies because she doesn't photograph the best, but hey I don't either.. Plus it's her acting/personality/presence/TALENT what makes her shine!! Eh?

  • March 21, 2011 - 2:37pm Lisa Dailey Gregory

    Why does she always make such a strange face in pictures?

  • March 21, 2011 - 2:33pm Emily Morris

    This is the worst haircut I ever saw. Horrible.

  • March 21, 2011 - 1:39pm Amanda McKenzie

    her mouth is just scary

  • March 21, 2011 - 1:03pm Robin Schlager Shaye Pietrunti

    Renee is an actress to be admired for her unique brand talent...showcased especially well in "Chicago", something that will always remain with her.....She probably knows she's not a beauty queen....and is laughing all the way to the bank.
