Anne Hathaway has become one of Hollywood’s boldest and most chic fashion icons. Whether it’s a Cannes red carpet or the Met Gala steps, her fashion sense is a blend of impeccable taste and daring boldness. Hathaway is always on target, whether she’s playing old Hollywood glamour or avant-garde couture. So here are some of her most memorable fashion moments that prove she’s in a league of her own.
The White Gown That Broke Cannes
Anne Hathaway made her much-awaited Cannes debut this May in the 75th Cannes Film Festival, wearing a look that was a major attraction at the film festival. She went out on the red carpet wearing a custom Armani Privé two-piece suit of a floor-length sequined white dress with a matching silky shawl that looked lovely as a trailing train.
This ensemble was completed with a stunning Bulgari necklace from the “Eden The Garden of Wonders” high jewellery class with an astounding 107.15 carat cushion-cut Sri Lankan sapphire. Hathaway was present at the festival for Armageddon Time, and her presence was truly a lesson in red carpet fashion – an amalgamation of old-world elegance and modern glamour that set the tone for all fashion moments that followed her.

Gucci Mini? She Made It an Obsession
After her glamorous and successful debut at the red carpet at Cannes, Anne Hathaway was spotted again on the red carpet at Cannes, also in an eye-catching style but with a more subdued vibe. She was wearing a custom black-and-blue Gucci mini dress with a sculptural cone bra bustier, which was also a pretty daring choice as it was in tune with the fashion trends of the supermodels of the 90s, yet still felt fresh and modern.
She paired the standout piece with silver platform heels that elongated her silhouette beautifully. As a global ambassador for Bulgari, she added the perfect amount of sparkle with a pair of the brand’s diamond earrings. Her hairdo was full and half up, straight out of the 1960’s glamour, and it just goes to show you that Hathaway’s celebrity style is as timeless as she is herself, as she takes the best of each decade and makes it her own.
The Met Gala Look Everyone Was Talking About
Anne Hathaway, the face of a 2023 Karl Lagerfeld-inspired campaign, attended the fashion event in one of the night’s most flawlessly crafted looks. Most fashion critics agreed it was among the finest outfits of the entire evening. She wore a jaw-dropping custom gown bearing the signatures of both Versace and Chanel. The look served as a fitting tribute to a designer who had defined both houses across different chapters of his iconic career.
The gown was made from a luxurious white tweed fabric with safety pins studded with pearls and fine camellia flower trims around the bust. To finish the outfit, she wore matching tweed opera gloves and Bulgari jewellery, giving an outfit full of references but still very original. It was a sort of Met Gala celebrity style moment that is put in the pages of fashion history books – smart, daring and beautifully done.
Fit That Stole The Whole Show
At the Ralph Lauren Fall/Winter 2026 show at New York Fashion Week in February 2026, Anne Hathaway proved that the front row can steal the spotlight from the runway itself. She reminded everyone that the most memorable fashion moments do not always walk – sometimes they simply sit and watch.
She came in a semi-sheer black halterneck gown that showed just enough to make a statement, topped with a faux fur and ostrich feather shrug in rich brown hues. Delicate sheerness contrasted with full-bodied feathers and fur meant glamorous and edgy. The oversized sunglasses and black boots definitely added a cool and street vibe to the overall look, effortless yet intentional. It was a rare occasion when all the pieces fell into place in fashion.
The Dress That Didn’t Look Real But Was
In April 2026, Anne Hathaway took the stage in New York City for the world premiere of Mother Mary and showcased what could be her most artistically daring red carpet ensemble yet. She wore a custom sculptural gown by Lever Couture. Layers of iridescent organza and cascading ribbons gave the dress an ethereal, luminous glow.
Erin Walsh completed the look with Christian Louboutin pumps and Bvlgari Serpenti jewellery. The accessories brought a grounded sense of luxury to an otherwise otherworldly gown. The first fashion piece she wore as Mother Mary was an extension of her character as a pop star, someone who doesn’t wear a garment, but lives in it. It was experimental, romantic, and so incredibly memorable.
The Bottom Line
As Anne Hathaway’s fashion journey from Cannes to the Met Gala showcases, she is a woman who is ready to take bold, creative chances and do so with pride and style. She is still one of the most interesting style icons of the current Hollywood scene.
