Iggy defends Zellweger's transformation

Renee Zellweger has found an unlikely ally in Aussie rapper Iggy Azalea.

The US actress caused a stir at ELLE's 21st annual Women In Hollywood Awards this week when she appeared looking decidedly different.

The media went into overdrive, with many asking if the 45-year-old actress had undergone dramatic plastic surgery or had excessive botox.

However, many have spoken out to defend Zellweger.

"It's sort of awful to see everyone have such horrible things to say about Renee Zellweger," Azalea tweeted.

"I don't think she really needs our opinion world."

Azalea was attacked about her own looks by rapper Snoop Dogg last week.

Bridget Jones star Zellweger has had many other vocal supporters, including The Guardian newspaper and website Buzzfeed, who have published opinion pieces about how it's Hollywood's pressure on ageing women that's wrong, not Zellweger.
