The centerpiece of Hathaway’s look was nothing short of spectacular—a minuscule, opulent white minidress that seemed to capture the light and the gaze of every onlooker. This wasn’t just any dress; it was a masterful creation by Patou, from their Spring/Summer 2024 ready-to-wear collection, that boasted thick straps and a wide V-neckline, exuding both elegance and a hint of daring. The dress was meticulously adorned with rectangular gold studs, arranged in a chevron pattern that added depth and texture to the ensemble, while the entirety of the fabric was enveloped in delicate sequins, ensuring Hathaway shone from every angle.
The Devil Wears Prada star elevated her look with strappy, open-toe platform heels, featuring a robust chunky heel that added both height and an extra dose of glamour. Her accessories were thoughtfully chosen, with a diamond tennis necklace that complemented the sparkle of her dress, creating a harmonious blend of shimmer and shine.

Hathaway’s makeup was a radiant continuation of her outfit’s glow, with champagne eyeshadow, rosy blush, and a cranberry lip that added a pop of color while maintaining the overall ethereal theme. Her chestnut locks were styled down and straight, framing her face and completing the look with a polished finesse.
In The Idea of You, Hathaway takes on the role of Solène, a 40-year-old single mom who finds herself in an unexpected romance with Hayes Campbell, the 24-year-old lead singer of the boy band August Moon, portrayed by Nicholas Galitzine. The film, directed by Michael Showalter, promises a blend of humor, warmth, and the complexities of love, mirroring the multifaceted nature of Hathaway’s premiere look.
Anne Hathaway’s Shift in Style
Later in the day, Anne Hathaway transitioned from her glittering premiere attire to a more casual, yet equally stylish ensemble for a discussion with the cast. She opted for a white top featuring a delicate feather peplum, paired with boot-cut jeans that showcased two different denim washes and completed the look with sparkly pale-pink pointed-toe stiletto heels. This change of outfit highlighted Hathaway’s versatility in fashion, seamlessly moving from the high glamour of the red carpet to a more relaxed, yet chic, daytime look.
Anne Hathaway’s recent appearances have been a testament to her love for all things shimmering. At the 39th Film Independent Spirit Awards, she captivated the audience in a Valentino halterneck jumpsuit, completely adorned with milky-white sequins and tiny crystal embellishments, further solidifying her status as a true connoisseur of sparkle.
