OK, I think I’m ready to talk about Anne Hathaway’s nips now. My caffeine has kicked in and I’m getting into the Oscar coverage groove. OK. Sigh. Here’s the thing: Anne Hathaway was supposed to wear Valentino. Everybody made a really big deal about how Anne was going to wear a special Valentino gown, likely designed personally for her because of her relationship with Valentino and because Mr. Valentino designed her wedding gown last year. And then she showed up in this pale pink Prada gown, which… I can actually see how this gown would be her “fallback” gown, something relatively safe if nothing better came along. But I really wonder what happened with the Valentino gown. Was there some kind of design disaster? Did Annie throw some kind of massive hissy fit over a bad gown? Unknown.
But here’s what we got – a Prada gown which looked super-wrinkled within minutes on the red carpet. A Prada gown which wasn’t the right color for someone so pale. A gown which looked like an apron from the back. A gown with ridiculous darting on the bust, making the viewer’s eye go down to Anne’s bust. I really don’t know if it was the darting, or if Anne was just incredibly cold on the red carpet. Whatever it was, Anne’s Nips are now a thing. They have a twitter account. They were bouncing all over the place. Incidentally, I saw some complaints that she wasn’t wearing a bra or a more structured gown which would have kept her tatas in place – that doesn’t piss me off as much as the sheer fact that Anne’s nips completely overshadowed her Oscar win.
As for Annie’s win… well, I said what I wanted to say last night. I’m happy that she finally got her Oscar. I hope she goes away for a little bit and we don’t have to deal with her for a few months. I’ll say something nice too: everything above the nips looked great. She had great makeup and I loved her hair and I adored her backwards necklace.

When I first saw this last night I thought it was totally inappropriate and awful. But now I’m wondering If I was being too hard on her.
I always wear someting similar when I clean my kitchen and bathroom. I’m so fashionable. Thank you Anne! BTW Too bad she won an Oscar but there is still hope for me – the Anne H. hater – I’m countin on the Oscar curse.
Not too hard at all. After all, for such a big night she should have worn those silicon nipple-covers that avoid nipples poking through the fabric of the dress when you go bra-less. It is a very common trick in the industry.
I kinda think she did this on purpose. Ugh.
I thought that too, actually.
She does NOTHING for me besides grate. I wish she *would* go away, that would be swell. And take her washed-out rabbity-lookin’ mug with her. Damn.
I thought the Same thing. How could she have not noticed “those things” Kinda makes you second guess the whole crotch flash fiasco, doesn’t it? (If you were thinking that was an accident as well. Which I didn’t!)
Kinda glad she won tho bc it’s like now Will You Go Away?!!
Still can’t believe she just forgot her panties. If you wear a dress like she did back then you wear underwear if you want to be safe. Everyone knows that and she does too.
Cletus, you make me live!
Nice nipples. Now I know the prepuce flash was no accident.
+1
I loved the necklace and the makeup but the dress looked cheap. I immediately thought of Goop’s wrinkly, pink, ill-fitting satin dress when she won (yea, this one is better but it’s still not great)
The dress looked really cheap. Ugh.
Looks like a home-made prom dress or something.
You nailed is Ziggy. After working so *desperately* hard to get that statue, why in the world would you wear such a cheap looking gown with bad darting???
Prada is often the ugly thing in the room. SORRY. But no one will e-v-e-r say it out loud except me, so i sound off every now & again. Maybe she thought it w/b fun to keep giving Prada nods since she got alot of mileage out of that boring & overrated DevilWearsPrada flik.
I too am hoping she will call off the dogs now and get outta my face. Go away. Relax. No, i mean seriously relax, and carry on doing what she loves, etc. She was as humble as she could possibly be last night – which i appreciated. I wasnt expecting such a modest speech from her, and it was nice.
I would have liked the necklace on a different neckline and back line, but it was running into the material and that looks tacky, like she had nothing more appropriate. Now she’s done it all, vadge and nipples. She should make an X-rated picture next.
I think this was my pick for worst dressed last night. Yes, there were more train-wrecky things. But Anne was as close as it’s possible to be a lock for winning an Oscar, and this was a travesty of a dress to wear in that situation. How do you go to take your victory lap at the Oscars in a dress that fully shows both of your nipples the entire evening? And even aside from the nips, this was just so terribly blah. It looked wrinkled from the moment she hit the red carpet, it washed her out, and the cut was completely boring. I think the necklace would have been cute in other circumstances, but it looked incredibly awkward with the neckline/back straps of this dress — it’s obviously what she was planning to wear with whatever Valentino made, and then kept it on when she switched dresses at the last moment. I actually really liked her white Golden Globes dress, and I wish she’d worn that here. I think she’s going to be really disappointed when she realized how this looked on the red carpet.
As a sidenote, wtf happened to Valentino yesterday? There were two or three people who were announced to be wearing him and then made last minute switches. Obviously something went pretty wrong with a bunch of his dresses.
between her hair and the dress (and i don’t talk about her nipples),she almost looked like a trashy bridemaid
worst look of the night because almost trashy and clearly disappointing (where is her Valentino dress? he said he will wear her)
The neckline of her dress looks exactly like the bridesmaid dress I wore to my friend’s wedding in 1998. Are those really her nips showing thru or bad combo of fabric bunching and seaming?
Her dress was the worst of the night. I am so in love with her hair though.
That whole look is awful – her hair makes me think of the 1980s and the dress looks like a cheap David’s Bridal dress. Basically, what was she thinking?
+1
well, why not? I mean she flashed her bits not too long ago so why not show the nips? maybe she’ll go away now.
+1
She doesn’t look well.
she looked very wan.
at first glance i thought she was dana delany.
Total dress fail for her, which is weird, since she’s so into it.
Way too pale of a color for her. Way too skimpy. The fabric is too thin and looked wrinkled immediately.
Too bad. It’s like wearing a bad dress to your wedding – you’ll be looking at those photos forevah!
This SO reminded me of a prom dress circa 1998. The neckline, the choker. Ugh. The only thing missing was butterfly clips in her hair.
I was literally just going to ask if anybody else was having 90’s flashbacks. The satin material, the cut, the open back – hate the look then and it hasn’t gotten any better in the interim.
Also, I am about 90% certain that nip thing was no accident, much like the beav flash. All part of the “Edgy” Anne look.
I want to know what happened to the Valentino. Her nipples took over the show I was relieved when she changed when she sung but then got back into it again. I think it looked cheap and illfitting. I hate the backwards necklace in fact I think that didn’t go with her outfit at all. Loved her hair and her speech didn’t make me want to vomit as much as usual. I heard her say she was taking a few months off and wasn’t working for awhile. Thank goodness for that.
She has new movie in the works: http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/anne-hathaway-might-tune-up-song-one-20120530
Yeah, I wonder what happened to Valentino … Bust up? 🙂
Speaking of Valentino, I popped in to see his exhibition at Somerset House this morning; I damn near died of happiness.
Well worth a visit.
This gown, however, sucks. Hate the colour, hate the fit (the tatas!! Who designs a dress that does this to your breasts?!)
She made a comment saying she was 30 and her dress made her feel 30 (she also commented that the dress spoke to her… whatever) — so maybe she felt the Valentino was too mature looking? Maybe she couldn’t flaunt her nipples & side boob in the Valentino?
@Amelia – I’m so envious that you saw the Valentino exhibition. I watched the documentary, “Valentino the Last Emperor” a few months ago on Netflix. Fascinating bio + dresses beyond heavenly! He has done such great work over such a long time.
I’d reeeeeeeeeeeally hate to be the person who was responsible for getting Valentino’s Oscar gowns to AH and the other actresses, though. I doubt that even a reason as valid as a tsunami combined with a blizzard and a nuclear meltdown will be enough to blunt Valentino’s fury.
Like I said, I had the exact same dress at a wedding, I was one of the bridesmaids.
Also reminds me of GOOP weird CK dress when she won her Oscar…
That’s exactly what I thought when I first saw it. She’s the type who would admire and want to emmulate Goopy. Epic fail. She had access. To the best and she wore this?
Just. . . ugh. . . . as I look at the dress though it seems like it’s designed in a pointy way. . . . look at the side stitching. . .
Also, she WAS wearing a different dress during the Les Mis medley – was THAT the orig dress? I love this Medley as an aside.
http://oscar.go.com/blogs/real-time/23
The top of the dress looks like the little bib you get put on you at the dentist. I didn’t care for it at all. Idk if she was trying to go Gwenyth Paltrowesque from when she won for Shakespear in Love, or what. But that darting in the bust…oh that darting. Just not something glamerous I would expect from a 99.99% shoe in to win for Oscar pick of a dress.
nice to see the designer had her nipples sown in so she didn’t have to bring her own
You can’t look at the dress without the darts and nipples taking over. She needs to fire the stylist who dressed her last night. Worst dress ever.
I’m sure AnnE is mortified as she was when she flashed her beaver. You can bet there will be jokes about this at next year’s Oscars ceremony and I can’t wait to see AnnE’s face when it happens.
It’s even funnier that this is from the woman who has been preparing her entire life for this moment and has campaigned so hard for the Oscar. You’d think that she’d have prepared the perfect dress and the perfect back-up dress months in advance. She must have totally freaked out or had a meltdown over the Valentino or whatever she originally planned to wear before deciding on the Prada at the last minute.
She should have worn a backless bra or nipple covers. The problem isn’t so much the darting of the dress as the fact that you can pretty much see her entire nipple and areola as well as an outline of her breasts through the dress. I have dresses like that as well that have the darts at the breasts and it isn’t a problem if you wear a bra or padding underneath.
AnnE is to blame entirely for this, but this hasn’t been the first time she has worn dresses on the red carpet without thinking about being too exposed: http://www.fhm.com/imgs/630/500/0/original/299945_fullsizeimage_anne-hathaway-brown-see-through-top.jpgx
At first I thought it was just a very pointy dress but on a closer look… yep, those were totally her nips.
Kate Middleton had those darts on her wedding dress too but no NIPS showing. Anne needed nipple covers or front padding.
At first I was thinking that the “nips” were just poorly placed darts but looking at it from the side…idk. I wouldn’t put it past AnnE to try to get her tatas to be the Angelina’s right leg for this year’s awards. At least now that it’s over she can (hopefully) go away and give us a break from her saccharine self for a while.
Anyway! The dress itself is incredibly underwhelming and I haaaate the fabric. I wonder what happened to the Valentino dress if this mess was her Plan B?
It made me think of Angelina’s leg last year too, which also got its own twitter account.
Is this going to be a thing now? Most outstanding body part? Eesh.
Oh AnnE. So much to say. The colour, too saccharine and good girly. The cut of the bodice, and the whole nip disaster. The front of the dress is too simple, so I thought the back would be prettier. Well, it turns out it isn’t. It looks like an apron with an unflattering centre slit. Not impressed.
As for her behaviour, I won’t delve deep into it. Suffice to say I don’t understand the comparisons to Natalie Portman. Natalie was goody-goody, but still somewhat likeable. AnnE… I really think she should think hard about her PR strategy now because she’s not in a comfortable place. Maybe go away for a while ? Have a baby ? Try and at least appear grounded and down to earth ? I don’t even know at this point.
The dress she wore for the Les Mis song was actually quite beautiful. She should’ve clung onto that dress like grim death rather than going back into this cold mess.
I am secretly overjoyed that everyone is talking about her nips and bad taste and not her “talent.” So sick of her!
Hair, makeup, jewelry excellent. Dress awful.
Seriously my least favorite of the night – boring, cheap looking, ill fitted, and too pale on her skin tone.
I was disappointed – she’s annoyed me with her campaigning and speeches, but she usually brings it to the Oscars red carpet (her 2009 dress is still my favorite). This was a mess.
I’m not surprised. It’s not the first time she didn’t wear appropiate clothes or underwear. She wore a dreadful see though top back in 2000s. Then the infamous BEAVER shot and now her nips out of control. She now has her beloved Oscar but class?? No way!
her make-up is really pretty but i just can’t stand her hair the way she styles it lately…it looks exactly like justin biebers hair 2 years ago.
Yes! She does look like a (more) female Bieber with that hair helmet.
It totally IS a hair helmet! Her pixie was cute for a minute and then she started brushing too much of it over and across her forehead.
It’s too much. Her large eyes and mouth already overwhelm her small face. Adding that much hair to the mix isn’t doing her any favors — she looks like a pre-pubescent boy (i.e., the Biebs).
I kind of like the dress. I love the color. She looked gorgeous last night.
What will Matt Lauer say about this, I wonder? NBC execs are probably stapling his tongue to the roof of his mouth this morning.
Really disappointed in her selection for her Oscar outfit. I thought she couldn’t do worse than the head trauma headpiece she wore at her wedding, How wrong I was.
The dress is truly awful on her. The construction is terrible (the seaming!), the design is boring at best (the front) and completly bizarre from the back. If this was her backup, I’d love to see how bad the Valentino was. The necklace was stunning, but completely ill-fitting to the dress; everyone is right, she looks like an unfortunate bridesmaid.
Frankly, though, after how obnoxious her Oscar campaign has been, I am relishing the schadenfreude that her nips have overshadowed her Oscar. Hideous dress, unimpressive win.
I laughed so hard when I saw her. She looks like a 14yo girl in a rented prom dress. AWFUL
I’m not a prude, but she looked trashy.
90s prom dress that’s too busy in the back for back-jewelery. Big miss.
This. Our whole group was saying it looked like a early-mid 90’s prom dress-some of us had even seen similar ones.
Tacky and awful. Worst dressed for sure.
Nothing looks good with that much smug self-satisfaction.
First, the woman in the ivory damask BEHIND Anne looks awesome!
Second, spot on with the “smug” assessment. Smug is fug.
Third, this pale pink apron could have looked 1000% better if it had been a rich navy blue instead.
Fourth, imagine how much nicer this could have looked if the necklace were a 1″ diamond and sapphire choker around her neck instead of heavy pirate loot laying across her collar bone.The position of the necklace looks so awkward with the bib of the dress in front, and totally tangles with the tied straps behind her neck. Poor choice.
It amazes me how cheaply made and poorly constructed some of these so called couture gowns are. Those darts are like arrows right to her nipples, especially with the shiny satin material. It shows everything.
So many pale, meh dresses last night. But Anne, as an expected winner, should have had a “wow” dress. Why she went with “meh” I’ll never understand.
“It came true!”
NIPS. That’s all I though of every time I saw her.
But at least her dream came true. And so did mine. Because now she will finally STFU.
I really was hoping for her to wear something puffy and colorful, she has wore neutral black/white/light colors the whole award season and she just looked “meh” to me last night. Also the color of the dress did not go well with her
Don’t care for Anne, but I kind of like the dress. The nip thing is very poor construction, seems to me. But I like the straight column style; a nice change from all the flowing trains that have to get annoying by the end of the night.
Fine, she won. Now shut up and go away.
That dress was the worst piece of crap of the year, and it has nothing to do with the fact that it was Anne who was wearing it. Just awful.
not sure what you mean by “finally got her oscar.”
didn’t she win best actress for rachel getting married 2 years ago?
the dress was pretty, but the cheap stitching on the bodice and hem made it just that…cheap.
odd that she and her stylist didn’t know better.
and i did like her when she was sweet, fun and humble.
she’s taking herself too seriously now.
word from meryl streep. she knows how to do it.
No, she did not win- was nominated. This is her first Oscar win.
I genuinely used to just love Anne Hathaway. Now I never want to see her again. She played this so wrong. I think she still would have won if she’d been quiet and humble about it.
I truly hated Rachel Getting Married, but she was really good in it and deserved the nomination.
Agree with NerdMomma – this whole campaign has made her insufferable. It’s a shame because she was likable, and is talented, but now I just think ugh. And I also agree she still would have won without all the nonsense.
She was excellent in Rachel Getting Married. The academy is known for giving people oscars for previous films and I think this is the case for AnnE.:-)(I think her Les Mis performance was “good” but not Oscar worthy-’cause if you saw the movie you know the other women in the movie had better voices)
The Oscar was the better dressed of the two, so I’m glad she won one and can now shut up about it. Anne’s dress just sucked!
I’m not sure how much of The Nips can be blamed on the darting; the first pic I saw of it, you could see her navel too. If it was a last-minute substitution, I can see why the fit would be awful on it.
I’m sorry, but this is epic-ly bad. The nipple darts, the pink satin prom-ness, the ridiculous handsewn/falling apart looking back. Molly Ringwald’s dress in Pretty in Pink was better than this monstrosity. I hate her Beatles hair too, short haired gals need to push it back for formal do’s imo.
The b&*£h in me is secretly glad she looks awful because I have found her awards speeches and campaigns insufferable. Her Oscars speech was no better, if you didn’t know better you would think hers was the best actress speech and Jennifer’s the supporting actress, that is the level of faux humble yet epic narcissim she conveys (to me anyway.) Jennifer’s was almost too short (I think she was probably thrown by the trip and maybe wanted to get off quickly). I don’t expect every award winner to be genuinely surprised, but Anne’s endless breathy bulls&*^t is something I hope I never have to put up with again!
I just want her to go away, that’s all!
Blah dress. Reminds me of Goopy’s oscar dress, and Anne, who I’ve never found to be sexy or pretty, doesn’t seem to be aging well IMO.
Thought it was the darting on the dress as well, but no. Tacky, just tacky. The necklace is gorgeous. And no, she’s not going away anytime soon. Now she’ll do the rounds with her little statue. Predictable and boring.
omg she could have put a bra on or sum nude colored pasties underneth. that dress is practically sheer and see thru . i cant believe no one around her said anything to her about her see thru dress. she had a million options and i cant believe the picked the see thru one yuck.
I actually like a lot about the gown – the silhouette, the color, the back cut/detail….makeup and hair look great. But yeah, that neckline is terrible and the darts/nips…ugh. Who puts that on and thinks “Yes, this is what I want the girls to look like? This is the image I want of me winning my Oscaaaah?” Ugh.
Not one of my favorites. In fact it would have not made the top 25.
Definitely worst dressed of the night… Her nips made me feel so uncomfortable! Was anyone else a little thrown by just how tiny she’s gotten during the red carpet live feed? I knew she lost a lot of weight for Les Mis, but she looks terrible! And I thought her face looked a bit haggard live (maybe with all the weight loss), but she photographs really well and looks beautiful in all the pics so far. Glad she won her Oscar, looking forward to her disappearing from the spotlight for a while though now!
I wore a dress similar to this to a dance. In 1993.
You must’ve been the belle of the ball, nip.
She looks nice to me..but I keep hearing folks talk about her nips, looks like darting to me.
her hair looks fab!
I want to cut mine but I am kinda scared.
I wish folks would leave her alone and stop nitpicking w/everything she does.
not here but in general…then she may go away and chill out.
Trashy and cheap-looking. She wore a bridesmaid’s dress to her big night.
Her face and personality annoy me. Now I can add her nips to that list.
Anne’s Oscar will be forever overshadowed by her nipple dress…
The material, the cut, the ill fit and those God awful darted nipples made it one of the worst looks of the night.
The thing is the cut of the gown. I once had a dress that was cut like that–it makes it look like your nipples are hard constantly when the fabric is drawn together at that nipple point and sewn. Needless to say I stopped wearing that dress.
Looks like she’s wearing a very long apron over nothing else. It’s really bad. :s
First a beaver shot and now nipple controversy? …. lol
I don’t like her, but wow…. she can’t get a break this award season. I bet she wished she had Jennifer’s wardrobe malfunctions. Oh and I bet she’d trade awards also. A bit of snark because her personna grates my nerves.
Insufferable. I thought this was one of the worst looks at the Oscars, and she Won in that thing?? Her acceptance speech? Ugh, I am just So Over Anne.
In truth, I haven’t seen Les Mis and probably never will (I’m a total indie, action or horror girl), so I can’t really say whether or not I think Annie deserved the award for Eponine. However, I just re-watched ‘Rachel Getting Married’ a few days ago-one of my all time favorites-and it just reiterated everything that I’ve always felt about her getting totally robbed of the Oscar for that role. My GOD is her performance in it surreally good 😀 How she didn’t win for the role of Kymmie, I have no idea so if she had to win it now then I’m ok with it (though I do think Sally Field should have been the frontrunner as Mary Todd…)
She played Fantine not Eponine. She was good in the movie but I think Helen Hunt was robbed.
Helen Hunt’s nomination in the Supporting category was all kinds of wrong. It was a lead role.
I used to really love Anne but now she just reminds me of that girl who while you were having a laugh with a few girlfriends would come out of nowhere and begin laughing and trying to figure out the joke because she so desperately wants to be liked. Quite sad. Side note- put those things away Anne, ew!
haha, i got here by googling “anne hathaway’s homemade bridesmaid’s dress”. nuff said.
The dress looked like an apron. The bust darts and nipples made the whole thing vulgar.
I thought it was very elegant and understated.
The dress didn’t look so bad onstage…but I was very disappointed in it overall. Especially in the red carpet pics, it makes her look like her nipples are sticking out.
Key to Oscar glory — nips -n-a bisquit
Sounds like a snack food.
The gown is horrible and so is she
I think I wore a version of this dress to my prom in 1995. seriously bad. even then. WTF
90s satin apron. with a streetwalker vibe in back
Ugly dress ,the best dressed was Naomi Watts and Charlize Theron.
so oscar goopy with non-flattering pink and boob issues.
and didn’t goop wear this same prada backless dress in silver and cut very short with spangled pockets? goop’s didn’t fit as well as annEs but i’m having huvane trauma nonetheless.
why does the fabric sag in between her tatas? were they trying to go for a nipple eyed smiley face?
prada fail. so fail.
her hair, mech. she looks like dana delany.
This dress looks like something I would have made in home ec in high school. Horribly constructed. Awful. Very 1998 to me.
Such an awful dress. Those nips were distracting and the side boob disturbing. Awful all around. Besides, can that damn thing be more boring? so much for her shining moment…
I feel like she was trying to have a Gwyneth Paltrow moment with this dress. It reminds me a lot of what GP wore when she won her Oscar. Anne’s dress was a big fat let down. She’s been wearing fairly interesting stuff most of this Awards Season so this dress was completely anti-climactic.
She went for ‘classic’ and ended up with ‘Trashy’. WEAR SOME DAMN UNDERWEAR ANNE.
Wtf.
Oh I hate her hair too, make her head seem too big.
I don’t think it was the hair doing that but I am getting an overwhelming sense of Thompson Twins shock.
She tries for classic and overdoes it. haha, that’s kind of her thing now. The back is a mess and the front plus the necklace is very “Mother of the Bride” to me.
You can get nipple covers on Amazon. There is no excuse.
The dress didnt thrill. I may be in the minority here but the nipple drama just doesnt faze me.Meh. We all have them.
Am I the only one who thinks the backwards necklace is stupid?!
I like this dress from the back, so delicate.
The front is all types of disaster though. Ugh.
I honestly didn’t even see nips for like an hour while squinting at photos…I thought with all the fuss, she must have visible aereolas or something. But speaking as a girl with tiny nipples–it is damn hard to get them to stay down! Those big sand dollar ones never stick up…but small ones are pretty much always hard to cover. Nipple shields or no, kinda seems like a lot of fuss over some unfortunate darting, I think the color of this dress is the worst part…a little darker might’ve looked decent.
I wondered what little Quvenzhane would think of Anne if she saw her
Way to stay classy there, Anne.
Boring dress for the oscars.
