Joan Cusack makes her first appearance on the red carpet in 11 YEARS

Joan Cusack made her red carpet return on Thursday after an 11 year absence.

The actress, 63, stepped back into the spotlight as she attended the London premiere of her new movie Toy Story 5, held at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square.

The Shameless star looked effortlessly chic in a white button-up shirt tucked into a long high-waisted black skirt.

Cusack completed her stylish look with a silver watch and a pair of eyeglasses. She wore her short brunette hair in a bob with bangs parted down the middle.

The two-time Oscar nominee – who is John Cusack’s sister – reprises her voice role as cowgirl toy Jessie in Pixar and Disney’s new animated sequel, which is set to hit theaters on June 19.

Cusack’s last red carpet appearance was back in September 2015.

She was also joined by her dashing husband Richard Burke. 

The two have been married since 1996 and share sons Dylan John Burke, 28, and Miles Burke, 25.

Burke is the CEO of Envoy, which supports American businesses as they arrange visas for international employees. 

Cusack later mingled with her collaborators, including co-star Greta Lee, director Andrew Stanton and producer Lindsey Collins. 

For the past 15 years Cusack has stepped out of the Hollywood spotlight in favor of a quieter, more private life. 

She and her husband live in Chicago, where Cusack owns a gift shop called Judy Maxwell Home. 

The shop is named after Barbra Streisand’s character in What’s Up Doc? (1972), which is Cusack’s favorite movie.
