Joan Cusack stepped back into the spotlight on Thursday, making her first red carpet appearance in more than a decade at the Toy Story 5 premiere in London.
The 63-year-old actress, reprising her beloved role as the voice of cowgirl Jessie, joined costars Tom Hanks (Woody), Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear), Greta Lee (Lilypad) and Tony Hale (Forky) along with director Andrew Stanton for the film’s UK launch event.
Cusack stunned in a crisp white shirt tucked into a flowy black maxi skirt, accessorizing with thick black glasses for a smart office look.
Her bob cut with eyebrow bangs completed the understated ensemble.
She posed for photos with her co-stars and her longtime husband, Richard Burke, marking a rare public appearance since her last red carpet outing at the 2015 Emmy Awards, where she won Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for Shameless.
The Saturday Night Live alum, who earned two Oscar nominations for Working Girl (1989) and In & Out (1998), has largely stepped away from Hollywood in recent years to focus on family life in Chicago with Burke and their two sons.
Cusack told The Huffington Post in 2019 that living in Chicago allowed her family to avoid the pressures of Hollywood.
“In LA, it’s easy to get caught up in how you look or how much money you have, and those are not values I want my kids to adopt,” she said.
