Jennifer Love Hewitt picked a bright bandage dress for the premiere of her film Cafe in Los Angeles last night.

The coral Hervé Léger dress displayed the 32-year-old actress's newly curvier figure - which she was happy to show off.

The French designer is famed for his skin-tight dresses, and was also Jennifer's go-to label in March 2010 to choose an outfit for a party celebrating the 100th episode of her TV show Ghost Whisperer.

The difference in her body was noticeable comparing Jennifer last night to last year, when she opted for a blue bandage dress.

She appears to have a bigger bust and a more soft and voluptuous figure, in contrast to the trim hourglass shape she previously favoured.

The actress was heavily criticised in 2007 after photos of her in a bikini were printed that pointed out a recent weight gain and cellulite.

As a result she enlisted the help of a personal trainer and shed a stone in a mere ten weeks.

But the comments made about her in U.S. tabloids infuriated the 5ft 2in star.

She said last year: 'I think we are feeding eating disorders; we are promoting sickness to girls using celebrity role models.

'Not just me - they have done it to Jessica Simpson and other young female celebrities.

'Every time you turn around a different girl is "fat" in the eyes of the media. And it's not fair and it's not true and it's not smart because we are not fat.'

Despite flaunting a slim body last year, the star learned that she could never please everyone, and commented at the time that she was being dubbed 'too thin'.

Last night however she seemed to have reached a happy medium which could spell the end of her fluctuating figure.

Leaving little to the imagination in her bandage dress, Jennifer was clearly confident with her curvier shape.

She stars in indie flick Cafe with her ex-boyfriend Jamie Kennedy, who she dated for a year after meeting on set.

Also starring in the movie are former Spy Kids actress Alexa Vega, One Tree Hill's Michaela McManus and 15-year-old actress Madeline Carroll.
