Jennifer Aniston dazzles at premiere in a gorgeous Grecian dress (but isn't this showmance routine getting a little tired?)

Here we go again: Gerrard Butler and Jennifer Aniston put on a familiar show as they attend the New York premiere of Bounty Hunter last night

She usually plays it safe on the red carpet in her favourite look - a little black dress - but last night Jennifer Aniston pulled out all the stops for the New York premiere of her new romcom, Bounty Hunter.

The actress, 41, surprised the crowd with a nude-colored, Grecian jersey dress by Donna Karen which skimmed neatly over her incredibly toned physique.

But there was another element to the night which was far more predictable - her over-the-top display of friendly affection with co-star Gerrard Butler.

It's a familiar sight for seasoned red carpet watchers, who have seen the pair put on similar displays at the U.K. premiere in London last week and as far back as the Golden Globes in January.

The co-stars have also raved about one another on morning talk shows, late night chat programmes and magazine covers.

While they have clearly courted attention with persistent touchy-feely routines and gushing comments, the pair have simultaneously denied any romantic links

It has lead skeptics to brand the union a 'showmance' - a fake romance designed to generate buzz about the movie, which by early accounts, needs all the help it can get to achieve box office success.

Just last night, the Scottish actor called Jennifer his 'most treasured possession', while she gushed: 'He's a guy and he's also got a heart.'

But Jennifer insists their relationship is genuine and platonic.

Hunter buzz


She says: 'You know there's all this stuff about calculating... that me and Gerry are in this fake relationship for the press of our movie or the selling of it.

'It's just so insulting at the same time, but again it's the story... I'm getting to a better place in understanding that they're just making money.'

Those who can't get enough of Jen and 'Gerry', as she calls him, can catch them on UK screens in the Bounty Hunter from today.
