Sandra Bullock wows in red-hot pantsuit on first red carpet in four years

Sandra Bullock is casting a spell on the red carpet once again.

After a four-year hiatus from the spotlight, the Oscar winner, 61, made her triumphant return at CinemaCon 2026, joining co-star Nicole Kidman to promote their long-awaited sequel, “Practical Magic 2.”

For the occasion, Bullock wore a scarlet red Gabriela Hearst blazer ($3,750) and matching matching wide-leg pants ($1,390) from the designer’s resort 2026 collection.

Styled by Ryan Hastings, she wore the blazer open over a black leather bra, adding an edge to the tailored silhouette, and finished the look with dramatic Jacquie Aiche earrings ($12,800), four-inch feather-shaped sparklers with a rib of diamonds down the center.

Bullock and Kidman took the Warner Bros. stage at the Dolby Colosseum at Caesars Palace with a playful nod to Kidman’s now-famous AMC ad.

“Why do we come here, Nicole?” Bullock asked, prompting Kidman to deliver her now-signature line: “We come to this place for magic.”

“Practical Magic 2,” directed by Susanne Bier, sees the Owens sisters navigating a multigenerational curse with new additions Joey King and Maisie Williams as Bullock’s on-screen daughters. The film hits theaters Sept. 18.

The CinemaCon appearance wasn’t Bullock’s only big move this week. The “Miss Congeniality” star also joined Instagram on Tuesday, racking up more than 4 million followers within hours. Her first post, captioned “Midnight somewhere…,” featured a cheeky clip of her magically whipping up a margarita — a callback to the original film’s beloved ritual. A second video was captioned “Owens sisters ❤️.”

Jennifer Aniston was among the first to welcome her pal to the platform, writing on her Instagram Story, “It sucks! You’re gonna love it…” — a riff on an unforgettable “Friends” line.
