Anne Hathaway in white Valentino: too much or just enough?

Last night, another screening for Love & Other Drugs was held, and both Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway were in attendance. Honestly, I thought these photos were from the big premiere, just because Jake’s in his standard suit, and Anne’s in white. At the premiere, though, nearly two weeks ago, Anne wore a cream Antonia Berardi, and it had weird fishtail-details on the hips that kind of ruined the whole thing. This time she wore Valentino! And even without the hip crap, I still don’t like it. I mean, is it was just a tiered column/shift dress, maybe it would be okay (although inappropriate for Anne’s curvier body type). But the big neck bow… here are some better pics of the bow:

I don’t know, it’s just not my style. I think it looks awkward on Anne too, and the whole effect is very “wedding cake”. I will say this, though – the face and the hair are gorgeous. I get the feeling Anne’s learning curve is still ongoing – she’s mastered red carpet hair and makeup, but she still struggles with the fashion part, and bless her heart, Rachel Zoe picks out some hideous crap for Anne. But considering Anne and Mr. Valentino are all over each other, he probably picked it out especially for her. Ugh. Here are more pics:

    Bag and shoes totally coveted. Dress never gonna happen.

  2. dj says:

    This dress gives her no silouhette. Not attractive.

  3. Ella says:

    Her hair is fabulous.

    The dress… not so much.

  4. brin says:

    Way too frou frou….too much!

  5. LunaT says:

    I want her earrings. Seriously.

    She looks great, but no on the dress. Reminds me of a baby doll negligee from the 60s.

  6. KsGirl says:

    That’s about as close as one can get to a super-pale girl pulling off a white dress. That is, not very close at all. She’s beautiful, but the dress isn’t working. And Valentino! Why not red? She would look stunning in a lipstick red!

  7. Cheyenne says:

    Oh come on, Annie, you can do better than this. The whole outfit’s a fail.

  8. guesty says:

    that dress is a fail.

  9. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    The dress is very mod but its over designed. I hate the layers and I hate the fringe. Her hair is lovely and she is just a lovely girl in general.

    Man Jake looks soo freaking bewildered and sexy…I want that all over me. OMG he looks yummy no. Like I am in need of Jake in that suit and box of chocolate.

  10. Ferguson. says:

    she’s adorable.

    i wouldnt wear that for anything, though. it only looks good on her.

    god, she’s beautiful.

  11. jc126 says:

    I don’t know why, but something about her in general just makes me want to punch her in the face.

  12. Stubbylove says:

    I have no idea why I’m saying this b’cuz I typically can’t stand bows and fluff – but this works so some reason and I’m loving it. Perhaps it’s the styling.

  13. I love it personally.

  14. LBees says:

    I want to do that hair curl! I’m going to get a big curling iron just because of this.

  15. Miss A says:

    This works for me because she’s a brunette.

  16. Catherine says:

    Um….no.

  17. Emily says:

    jc126, I know what you mean. I don’t know what it is about her, but she really annoys me.

    Her hair looks really good here. Although I wouldn’t call her “curvy”.

  18. lucy2 says:

    Hair and makeup are perfection, but I’m not loving the dress.

  19. devilgirl says:

    I actually love the outfit and shoes.

    Anne and Jake make a rather handsome couple.

  20. Lynda says:

    She looks best in eans…suh a pretty girl.

  21. LolaBella says:

    I love her entire look; she’s beautiful and here she looks elegant yet flirty.

    I have been holding out hope that Anne and Jake would become a couple since Brokeback Mountain.

    Yes, this is my delusion, but I think they make a good looking couple.

    ETA: Still waiting for Leo and Kate to hook up. Le Sigh.

  22. DKO says:

    I love it! It’s different, fresh, and she wears it well.

  23. mslewis says:

    I think Anne looks lovely, as usual. She’s a beautiful girl and she wears clothes well. I love the dress and I LOVE those shoes. Great look.

  24. Xx says:

    I dont think you can find better shoes to go with that dress if you were hell bent on wearing it. I like!

  25. Ruby Red Lips2 says:

    She looks like a Christmas tree decoration!

  26. Erin says:

    I think she looks gorgeous. I also think the color highlights her creamy skin. However, the ACTUAL dress is gross. “Doily off of the back of Grandma’s couch” kind of gross.

  27. Tess says:

    Mrs. Claus called and she wants her wedding dress back.

    Myself, I like her better looking smokey, sexy, messy, and mysterious.

  28. Solveig says:

    Without those fluffy edges it would be a nice dress, but as it is, it’s a curtain.
    She can wear it though.

  29. Kelley says:

    Just enough ! <3

  30. NayNay says:

    I think the dress is awful. Come on, she looks like she is wearing a doily.

  31. Belle Epoch says:

    OK, if you saw a regular person walking down the street in this monstrosity, would you think “Wow what a fabulous designer gown!” or “Oh my goddess, look at that poor delusional creature – she must live alone, sew her own hideous clothes, and not own any mirrors”?

  32. latam says:

    hate the dress, hate the face. Some thing is off about it, shes so goofy looking, cat take her seriously.

    jake looks hot

  33. Jayna says:

    Looks like it is from a 60s mod type movie. But she is far too pale to pull it off. I still love her.

  34. jemshoes says:

    This sort of dress is absolutely not my style or taste, though I do think Anne looks OK … but perhaps she’s a little too pale to wear such blanket white all over? Then again, her hair, eyes and eyebrows do make a nice startling contrast. I’ll sit on the fence on this one!

  35. Confuzzle says:

    It’s a really pretty deco-era dress that works but at the same time makes her look short. Not many would be able to pull off that look but she does sell it.

  36. girl says:

    NOT flattering. It looks like an old lampshade.

  37. Henriette says:

    Meh. Big nose, silly dress, doe eyes. No thanks.

  38. vintagewhore says:

    Love the dress…would be SO much better without the stupid bow though. Very reminiscent of the 60s shift dress. But then again, Anne can pull anything off; she’s breathtaking!

  39. Lia says:

    Is she wearing a tether on each ankle, or are those just really, really ugly shoes? If she took that top sheer layer and ridiculous bow off of the dress, it might have a chance. She frequently picks things that look awful on her. Does she employ a blind stylist or something?

  40. NyukNyuk says:

    That chick has some ugly feet. Should wear shoes that cover those toes up. Yuck.

  41. WYIJM says:

    “Curvier body type”???

  42. sauvage says:

    Why oh why did she dye her hair?

  43. tracking says:

    I love the dress but don’t think Anne (who is very beautiful) has the right body type for it. Only a petite, gamine woman like Vanessa Paradis could pull it off.

  44. Lady Jane says:

    Maybe I am just feeling a bit meanish today, but in all these photos, I just want to do something to make her cry. She looks so flaky.

  45. glo says:

    Her hair is pretty; first thing I noticed.
    Her feet don’t look any worse than anyone else who tries to walk in chopines.

  46. Heather says:

    It’s a beautiful ensemble, I love the styling.

  47. lisa says:

    She looks like a show dog with the bow and the fringe…weeeeiiird.

    That being said, she still manages to pull it off, along with other weird looks…confidence?

  48. padiddle says:

    can’t explain why, but I just hate her. She annoys the crap out of me for some reason. My fiance doesn’t understand why women find her attractive – he says she is the type of girl that other women find attractive but men think is plain.
    The dress is not right for her, but on what planet are we calling her a “curvy” body type? I think HW has warped our minds if we think of that as curvy.

  49. Megan says:

    it would have been aight w/o the fringe

  50. citysuede says:

    I like the dress….maybe a little less on the bow at the neck, but this silhouette is very cool (even tho it does hide her waist)

  51. Should be working says:

    I think it’s working on her; she looks gorgeous 🙂

  52. Roxanne75 says:

    ick. I wish she would dress her age…she is young…dress fun, sexy, pretty, up to date…it’s not too hard.

  53. Michael says:

    unflattering as fcuk.

  54. hay says:

    wow, her hair looks beautiful.
