Anne Hathaway wore vintage Valentino to the WWD Honors: lovely or blah?

Other than filming the much-anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, Anne Hathaway has had a pretty quiet year. She doesn’t have any big projects coming out at the moment, and she’s not part of any awards-season buzz. If anything, it feels like when we do see her out and about, it’s fashion-related. Well, that was why Anne went out last night. She attended the WWD Honors in New York.

Anne wore vintage Valentino, and she posed on the carpet with Giancarlo Giammetti, the longtime investment partner with Valentino. She also posed with her husband Adam, who I haven’t seen in a minute! Anne has always worn Valentino and had close associations with the fashion house. Anne was also in attendance at the Balenciaga show during the most recent Paris Fashion Week, because Balenciaga’s new designer is Pierpaolo Piccioli, who worked for years as chief creative for Valentino. Anne barely got attention for that appearance because the Duchess of Sussex stole everyone’s thunder!

So, while I understand Anne’s long-time connections to Valentino, I can also totally understand why it was special to wear a vintage piece… I don’t think this was the best look for her! The red is too orangey for her coloring, and I just don’t think the design suits her.

Interestingly, Deadline just published a “what’s Anne up to” story – while she doesn’t have anything out this year, next year is going to be super-busy for her, with all kinds of big films coming out: The Odyssey (dir. Chris Nolan), The Devil Wears Prada 2, Verity (written by Colleen Hoover), The Princess Diaries 3, and more.

PS… Bonus photo of Iman, who was also at the WWD Honors. She looks amazing.

    Why are old men caked in orange foundation? Do they think we can’t see it?

    • Eurydice says:

      I suppose for the same reason young women are caked in orange foundation, and brown contour, globs of concealer, and a splotch of highlighter on the tip of their noses.

        Tiktok makeup vids are not for the amateurs.

        Now I feel a little naked without any contouring.

    That red is lovely on her and the dress is very romantic. I like it on her.

    Folks talk a lot about the work Emily Blunt has done on her face but Anne is doing some too. That first photo is like whoa…

  3. Eurydice says:

    The dress would be nice without those two handkerchief-type panels on either side of the torso.

    Just a comment and my own opinion, not directed at anyone. I just wish women wouldn’t talk about other women’s faces as they age. Everyone, man or woman, looks a bit different as they start to age. But no one hardly ever asks or discusses what potential work an aging man has had done to make them look different.

    Some men mature into an older version of themselves, but some look completely different from their younger selves. For women, as they age, their choice of makeup changes and can give them a different look. But, just like men, sometimes we age into an older version of ourselves and sometimes we look completely different.

    In all cases, the face either gets fuller or thinner and it’s a rare man or woman who keeps their full head of hair without severe thinning. In some cases the head and ears seems to get a bit larger, and our noses spread. A majority of people do have some kind of work done on their faces, but some don’t–they just age into a different look.

    I don’t know which describes Anne Hathaway, but she still looks incredibly beautiful to me. I can’t wait for “The Devil Wears Prada 2” and “The Princess Diaries 2!” 🙂

      The men look just as cartoonish as the women do with these over-the-top face modifications. It’s not limited to just women.

    “But no one hardly ever asks or discusses what potential work an aging man has had done to make them look different.”

    A couple of folks just speculated about work that Chris Evans may have done on his face. And I have seen other comments about the work other celebrity men have done. We have commented on men from George Clooney, Rob Lowe, to Brad Pitt, Bradley Cooper to Tom Cruise — and that’s just the older to middle aged celebrities men. so this portion of your comment is incorrect.

    Anne is beautiful and has been her whole life, I made the comment because we often do here on this site.

      @That girl there … And I didn’t direct my comment directly to you or any of the others replying to your comment. It’s just something I’ve been thinking about and voiced my opinion.

    Of course Anne’s had work done. To stay competitive as a Hollywood actress you gotta! The days of Helen Mirren being (re)discovered as a sex symbol in her late forties with eye bags in Prime Suspect are long gone, if that was ever true in Hollywood. What I like about British TV is the normal, natural look of so many actors.

  7. bears says:

    Everyone has the right to do whatever they want to their body but…damn. You might as well wear a big neon sign that says “I’M SUPER INSECURE”. I don’t know which is worse – the orange fake tan face or the ‘someone yanked my skin up and then stapled it in place’ look.

  8. Bella says:

    i love the dress on her and thinks she looks beautiful.

  9. Botched says:

    I’m so tired of these beautiful women ruining their natural faces with filler. They’re all starting to look like older clones and parodies of themselves. A little discreet Botox is one thing, but the filler and stretched faces are another.
