Anne Hathaway in a Victoria Beckham LBD in NYC: adorable or budget?

Here are some new photos of Anne Hathaway last night at the 2012 Women’s Media Awards. Anne acted as the host of the evening, saying: “I am a supporter of the Women’s Media Center. I believe in their ongoing mission and advocacy for women and girls worldwide to be more visible and powerful through a variety of important programs & initiatives.” Anne wore this Victoria Beckham LBD – it’s cute, right? I like this on her. Anne often defaults to white or black dresses, and I prefer her in black. She still looks really slim to me – she told Vogue that she ended up losing 25 pounds in total during Les Miserables, and that to lose weight (to look like she was dying), she only ate “two thin squares of oatmeal paste a day.”

In Anne’s Vogue story, she also made an oblique reference to her next film role, but she also confirmed the part to Empire Online yesterday too. She’s going to be in Steven Spielberg’s Robopocalypse! Annie’s going to do sci-fi! Not just any sci-fi either – a sci-fi with Steven Spielberg and Chris Hemsworth.

Recently linked with the blockbuster – now firmly in pre-production even as Spielberg attends to his Lincoln publicity duties – Hathaway has officially confirmed her involvement in the movie.

“If Robopocalypse happens I will be in it,” she tells Empire, “and I believe it’s quite real, though you never want to hang your hat on anything.”

Keeping mum on her character (“I’m back in Secretville”), Hathaway elaborated on the allure of the project. “Whenever I’m taking time off, I always joke to my team that I’m on vacation unless Steven Spielberg calls. And I was on vacation and Spielberg called. So I was like, ‘OK, put my money where my mouth is’.”

[From Empire]

Robopocalypse is based on the Daniel H. Wilson novel (of the same name) about a robot revolution and artificial intelligence and about whether humans can overcome the machines. It sounds a lot like all of the Terminators, only I guess the book is told through flashback maybe? You can read more about the film here. It will probably begin filming early next year.

PS… I love her manicure.

    She looks A+. Outfit, hair, nails, makeup, shoes. Everything, perfect.

  2. Goga says:

    The dress is nothing new and with this nail polish her ring finger kinda looks wrapped in plaster from afar

  3. Katie says:

    She looks great!

  4. embertine says:

    She looks gorgeous, IMO, although she could do with putting on another seven pounds or so I think.

  5. Rose says:

    Utterly gorgous after that hiddy Vanity Fair cover, she obviously wanted to prove she doesn’t look like a goat. Absolutely stunning.

  6. G says:

    Looks great. Interesting without being too try hard. Love the dress. Where can I get one?

  7. LadyMTL says:

    I liked the dress when seen from the front but the back – meh.I would have given this an A+++ without the zipper on the back; I’m tired of VB thinking that if you slap a looooong zipper on a dress that somehow makes it “high fashion.”

    Other than that, love the hair and makeup! She has such amazing eyes.

    • j.eyre says:

      I am with you all the way here; she looks amazing (hair, nails, make-up, etc) and I like the front of the dress but not the back with the zipper… so basically, what you said 🙂

  8. Sisi says:

    A timeless look.

  9. Boo says:

    She looks great. But I have to say I am already sick of her, and her movie isn’t even out yet. There is such a thing as OVEREXPOSURE, Anne.

    • lori says:

      Maybe she could start going to the farmer’s market in Brentwood with Ben Affleck. Kill 2 birds with one paporazzi?

  10. Ranunculus says:

    There is something terribly superficial and fake about her, that I just can’t stand.

  11. Shelley says:

    This is her perfect weight. She looks amazing with her hair and makeup

  12. apsutter says:

    She looks fab!! The dress is great and I love her nails. She has such a cute little body! I noticed it more when she hosted SNL and came out in that tight fitting black outfit. It’s good to see that she is handling the weight gain better than Mila Kunis did after Black Swan.

  13. Chatcat says:

    Like the dress…the actress is blah.

  14. Figleaf says:

    She’s beautiful here. Flawless.

  15. normades says:

    She looks great. I love short red nails but the white ones are kinda strange.

  16. dina says:

    what is with all these annoying ads? ugh

  17. ladybert62 says:

    Haircut and dress are OK.

    Why is her manicure so strange?

  18. Jackson says:

    She looks fabulous. And I want that dress!

  19. MG says:

    Perfection! Love her!

  20. natalina says:

    only Victoria Beckham should wear Victoria Beckham

    • bluhare says:

      I think Victoria would disagree with you! (On the money level. On the fashion level, I think she’d agree.)

      I would love one of her bags.

  21. Grace says:

    She looks lovely.

  22. KellyinSeattle says:

    She looks lovely and has a beautiful smile/demeanor. Yes, I DID IT – got a haircut like hers! I love it, but I wish she’d change it up every now and then. I like the whole ensemble.

  23. Nina says:

    She looks great… and her hair feels a little more comfortable at this length. I usually love VB’s dresses, but I’m getting sick of the zippers up the back. They are starting to feel kinda sleazy… tho Ms Hathaway is definitely rockin’ this. Does anyone know who makes those shoes? I dig the high vamp.

  24. holly hobby says:

    She shouldn’t smile so wide – it only calls attention to her features (they are ginormous!). Sorry I didn’t notice this when she had long hair but now her face is just overcrowding my screen. 🙁

    On the other hand, she is in the running to play Liza Minelli.

  25. A Fan says:

    That dress looks terrific on her. It almost looks dark green in certain pictures, which would look even better than black.

    Not a real fan of the shoes, but they’re better than those blocks of platform concrete so many others are wearing these days.

    Annnnd, no hard baseballs in her chest nor bleached blonde hair.

    This is indeed a win!

  26. Kat says:

    Her hair is looking a lot better these days. I think she is quite beautiful.

  27. ali says:

    This is the prettiest I have ever seen her. Her hair and face look lovely.

  28. taxi says:

    The dress is a bit too long & so is the zipper. The zipper should end just above the break of the knee, in order to walk gracefully.

    still on that anorexic diet i see
