Anne Hathaway’s Best Red Carpet Looks Would Make Miranda Priestly Proud


These days, hardly a major fashion week goes by without Anne Hathaway sitting front row. The actress has become a fashion staple, sitting next to Anna Wintour while taking in the latest Michael Kors or chatting with Blackpink’s Lisa at Bulgari’s high jewelry collection. But that wasn’t always the case.

When Hathaway first hit the scene after starring in The Princess Diaries back in 2001, she was walking red carpets in dresses layered over jeans and short sleeve button downs with ties—looks so stereotypically Y2K, they’re not getting re-created now, even with the aughts style resurgence. A quick bond with Valentino Garavani changed all that, however, and Hathaway quickly became a Valentino girl (a title still still holds to this day), wearing gorgeous gowns on every red carpet she stepped on. The actress has never been afraid of a little embellishment, and it’s rare to see her in a look without at least a hint of sparkle, meaning she always stands out among the sea of stars at every event. Below, see Anne Hathaway’s best red carpet style, from her days as the Princess of Genovia to now.
