Anne Hathaway, who reprises her role as Andy Sachs, served up not one but two unforgettable fashion moments that have fans completely captivated. For the premiere, she stepped out in a daring Versace gown that fused the sharp tailoring and clean lines of a tuxedo with the sculpted precision of corsetry.
For her second appearance, she switched gears to something more playful and theatrical, donning a custom Louis Vuitton creation. The gown featured cascading black and silver stripes that flowed into a voluminous skirt, delivering a dramatic yet whimsical finish that felt straight out of a high-fashion fantasy.
Let’s take a closer look at her ensembles!
Anna Hathaway stuns in Versace for London premiere
For the London premiere, Anne Hathaway stepped out in a striking deconstructed tuxedo-meets-corset gown by Donatella Versace – a look that masterfully fused tailoring with sensual structure. The strapless silhouette was anchored by a sharply sculpted, satin-finish collar that mimicked classic tux lapels, folding neatly over a subtly shimmery bodice.
The corseted midsection featured precise boning with sheer panel inserts that carved out the waist, creating a dramatic hourglass effect. Cut in plush black velvet, the gown skimmed the body before falling into a sleek, floor-length skirt with a front slit, punctuated by a row of ornate, jewel-like buttons running down the centre. At the back, the corsetry continued its architectural play, with exposed boning and sheer cut-outs.
Styled by Erin Walsh, the mastermind behind Anne’s glamorous press run, the look was elevated with a polished finish that balanced its daring construction. The actor’s hair was swept into a sleek, high ponytail, drawing attention to the clean lines of the neckline and the sculptural back. Her makeup leaned into soft sophistication – glowing skin, subtly defined eyes, and a muted rosy lip. Minimal jewellery and classic black heels completed the ensemble.
Anne Hathaway’s custom Louis Vuitton look
For the exclusive “A Night with Runway” photocall, Anne Hathaway chose a custom Louis Vuitton creation – a strapless gown featuring a sculpted sweetheart neckline and a fitted bodice wrapped in bold black-and-silver contouring the torso.
From the waist down, the look exploded into a voluminous, architectural skirt, with exaggerated draping and folded panels that created a cascading, almost sculptural silhouette. The stripes shifted in orientation across the fabric, enhancing the sense of movement and depth, while a shorter, column-style underlayer peeked through beneath the dramatic overskirt.
Anne’s hair was pulled back into a polished high ponytail, while her makeup was soft and luminous, keeping the focus on the striking monochrome palette. A dazzling diamond choker added just the right amount of sparkle at the neckline, while classic black pumps grounded the look, ensuring the overall effect remained equal parts whimsical, modern, and astounding.
