Joan Cusack returned to the spotlight on the red carpet for the first time in over ten years at the London debut of “Toy Story 5.”
Reprising her beloved role as the voice of Jessie, the cowgirl rag doll, the actress was seen on Thursday alongside fellow cast members Tom Hanks, who voices Woody, and Tim Allen, the voice behind Buzz Lightyear. Director Andrew Stanton joined them in the ensemble.
At 63, Cusack exuded sophistication in a crisp white dress shirt elegantly tucked into a sleek black maxi skirt. Her look was further enhanced with a pair of bold black-rimmed glasses, adding a smart, professional touch.
Her hair featured a chic bob with bangs neatly grazing her eyebrows.
Alongside her iconic castmates, Cusack posed for snapshots with additional co-stars Greta Lee, who plays Lilypad, and Tony Hale, the voice of Forky. She also shared the spotlight with her husband of many years, Richard Burke.
Cusack was last seen walking a red carpet at the 2015 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, where she took home a gold statue for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on “Shameless.”
She was accompanied by her husband for the historic occasion, which marked her first Emmy win.
The “Saturday Night Live” alum, who is also the sister of John Cusack, has earned two Academy Award nominations thus far in her career.
In 1989, she earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her role in “Working Girl.” She pulled off the feat a second time in 1998 for her role in “In & Out.”
After her Emmy nomination, the actress largely stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight, opting to settle down with Burke and their two sons, Dylan John and Miles, in Chicago.
“As my kids would say, ‘Chicago is awesome!’ It has rich culture and history, as well as some of the best museums, architecture and restaurants in the world,” Cusack told The Huffington Post in 2019.
“Plus, it prevents our family life from revolving around TV and the movies,” she added. “In LA, it’s easy to get caught up in what you look like or how much money you have, and those aren’t values I want my kids to adopt.”
