Anne Hathaway wears Givenchy, shows off her blonde: unflattering or cute?

Here are some new photos of Anne Hathaway at last night’s Tate Americas Foundation Artists Dinner in NYC. Annie wore Givenchy and this was her first red carpet since the Met Gala, when she revealed her dramatically different blonde look. While I was actually a fan of her total Met Gala look – the hair with the makeup and that black Valentino gown – I can’t say that this second blonded-up appearance is doing much for me. I kind of expected Anne to go back to brunette after the Met Gala, but I guess not. She’s going to try to keep the blonde for a while.

I’m trying to figure out what’s bugging me so much about Anne’s styling here. Anne has a problem with wearing too-light colors that wash her out, and even if she was a brunette, this pale pink wouldn’t work on her. But really, I guess the biggest problems are A) her eyebrow situation, which is now much too dark and B) Anne’s blonde needs some lowlights and… yes, some roots. It would go a long way to helping her look less washed out. Maybe when her dark roots come in, I’ll like the blonde more. I kind of want to mess up her hair with some product, and maybe spike it up or something. Anne told Vogue at the Met Gala that “I don’t know that you could tell it by looking at me, but Debbie Harry was (my inspiration).” Then punk it out! Don’t try to turn your blonde hair princess-y. It doesn’t work. Sigh… Annie needs my help.

As for Anne’s husband Adam Shulman… he’s just such a small man. And with his coloring, he would look better in this shade of pink.

    He must be really spectacular in bed. That’s all I have to say.

    • Andrea says:

      Or maybe he’s a good person who loves her and treats her well?

      • sharylmj says:

        that’s what I was thinking….

      • Britt says:

        Yeah maybe. Still you’d have to wake up and look at him every morning. There still has to be a physical attraction. Someone can be as nice as pie and as loving as they want, but there has to be some sort of physical chemistry to speak of.

        Maybe that’s what she likes in a guy? Who knows, who cares.

    • bros says:

      she looks like one of the elves from lord of the rings.

    • Irishae says:

      It’s all I have to say too….

    • Michelle says:

      He’s “such a small man”?? The guy is 5 foot 9, which is average height. Not every guy can be 6 foot 2. Anne Hathaway is 5 foot 8 (way above average), and wearing heels so yeah she’s gonna make him look small.

      God celebitchy needs to stop trying to brainwash women that men who are under 6 foot 2 are worthless…I’m 5 foot 2 and I love guys who are 5 foot 9 cuz when i’m in heels they’re perfect kissing height.

      • TG says:

        I think she was referring to his extreme thinness not his height. Me. Hathaway is grossly skinny in my opinion anyway. Checkout those photos of him with legs skinnier than AnnE’s

      • Ally8 says:

        @Michelle, I agree with you. People are so nuts with the height thing. It’s hard enough finding someone you can get along with without ruling out people based on a wall chart.

        The average height for women in North America is 5’5 for women and 5’10 for men.

  2. gogoGorilla says:

    I think very light blonde is aging for most women and that’s the problem here. (I mean, some women can obviously get away with it, but most can’t, especially if they’re naturally much darker.) I liked her look at the Met event, but here she is looking kinda cartoony.

    Also, how come I have never noticed that she seems to tower over her tiny pocket husband?

    • Andrea says:

      It’s funny too bc so many women dye their hair blond in an attempt to look younger and it always winds up doing the opposite.

    • Sweet Dee says:

      In one picture it looks like she’s trying to slouch down to seem smaller next to him…

  3. s says:

    I’m sorry, but the blond is awful on her. She is so clearly a brunette, and while the whole peroxide + black eyebrows thing works for a punk look, she just looks ridiculous here. It’s too bad, because she’s such a beautiful woman (albeit incredibly annoying. I find her even more annoying than I did during Oscar season at this point.)

    • Amelia says:

      I wonder what she would look like with red hair . . .?
      With red she might be able to get away without having mess with her eyebrow colour (one of my pet peeves).

      • Katniss says:

        red hair so often doesnt look as good on brown eyes as it does on blue or green

        i think shed look good with warm chocolate brown or mahogany like in Devil Wears Prada

    • Camille says:

      I don’t think she is beautiful at all. She needs long, wavy hair to soften her face features. The same thing with Miley Cyrus.

      • Andrea says:

        Oh I think she is beautiful. I don’t like this look for her but I think she is a pretty girl.

      • Connie says:

        I agree her features are too large, big googly eyes prominte nose and mouth, reminds a bit like a rat, and that blond hair is not complementary to her skin tone or her colouring makes her look cartoonish.

      • xoxokaligrl says:

        Agreed, her face looked soo much better with longer hair. The short hair emphasizes her bad features.

    • Amy says:

      Wintour left her off of Vogue’s Best Dressed list at the MET gala. So Anna doesn’t like the blonde either.

    • Jub-Jub says:

      s, you are so right. I have really blonde hair and got my eyebrows dyed dark brown (it was free)…I look awful at the moment 🙁 Not saying that Anne looks awful, but it doesn’t suit her.

  4. Shade says:

    I like the dress. Just not on her. Her husband looks so slight and fragile.

    • TrustMeOnThis says:

      I like the *idea* of the dress, but IRL it just doesn’t work from the front. I can totally see what they were going for, though.

      As for her hair… eh, hair is a renewable resource. It’s easier to futz with it when it’s short because you haven’t invested the time in growing it out. Bleach, color, etc – go nuts on short hair! Long hair is another story.

      Although if I had her money, I can tell you my hair would be freakin’ spectacular!

  5. KLO says:

    ugh

  6. Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

    She looks really, I dunno…weird here? I’m back to not liking her look, this is just weird and the more you stare, the weirder it looks.

  7. Anna says:

    I actually love it. I’m guessing it’s for Nolan’s next film Interstellar, and the blonde gives her a ‘sci-fi’ look.

    • c'est la vie says:

      +1
      I like the dress as well, it’s flattering.

    • holly hobby says:

      Didn’t she drop out of that and Keira Knightly signed on? Or was that for another movie? She looks plastic.

    • Gabriella says:

      I think we’re minority here, but I love everything about this look! Her hair, the dress, the shoes, the makeup and even the eyebrows, it’s all very sixties mod! Ahh, if only I had the right skin tone to pull platinum hair off…

      • april says:

        I think she looks a million times better being blonde. I also love the whole outfit, accessories, makeup.

  8. Mari says:

    Her hair was styled so much better in the Met Gala. I thought she looked amazing. But now in these photos… Not good at all.

    • Carolyn says:

      Agree. Kaiser your view of Anne’s Met look v this and what she should do with her hair is spot on. I really liked her hair as it was for the Met. It will look good as the roots come through.

    • ??? says:

      She rocked the blond hair when she debuted it at the Met Gala. But I had a feeling it would be one of those styles that would look good only within select circumstances.

      This is not one of those circumstances.

  9. Pam says:

    Ugh! i hate the blonde on her, she needs to lighten her eyebrows to ear that color. i hate brassy blonde, if youre going to go blonde, go all the way. it looks like she did it herself in her bathroom.

  10. marie says:

    I don’t like the hair around the ears. The color + style makes her face look humongous.

  11. Marianne says:

    I really liked her hair at the MET Gala. But here it just looks too harsh. Perhaps its the style?

    • Miffy says:

      This!

      I actually like the colour and it looks like she’s trying to grow out the short hair but if it was a shorter cut (especially at the back) it would look edgy rather than a woman messing around with hair colour while she waits for her hair to grow (can’t judge, been there, done that, destroyed the tshirt with bleach but it’s half a look rather than a style).

  12. Barrett says:

    Yuck.

  13. Kaboom says:

    I rather like it. It doesn’t make her mouth look so big.

  14. danni says:

    i don’t understand why she did it????
    she looks awful like something like Drag Queen….

  15. LadyMTL says:

    The dress combined with the hair really washes her out. If the pink were darker (say a raspberry pink) then maybe she could have pulled it off.

  16. Ai says:

    Eeeeewwww. Not a good look! Dress is great but yes, the dark eyebrows and just the way her short hair is styled….nooooo. I also find it a bit creepy when coupled start to look a bit alike!!!

  17. pretty says:

    that shade of blonde is atrocious.
    I think Taylor Swift’s ashy, gray-ish blonde shade is the best blonde color. her hair color looks so natural and beuatiful.

  18. lady mary. says:

    at the metgala, she reminded me of Austin butler ,and now she reminds me of Twiggy ,but twiggy looked pretty ,AnnE looks manly

  19. Kolby says:

    She looks 46 years old. No.

  20. neelyo says:

    She looks like her character in BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN after she became a bitter middle aged widow. If that’s what she was going for, congrats!

  21. bns says:

    I’m in love wih that dress.

    • j.eyre says:

      I do too. I love the style of her hair too – I think it is fabulous. I do agree with kaiser that some low lights would work wonders and I am not a fan of platinum with dark brows.

    • Apples says:

      Yes, LOVE that dress.
      (Agree that particular shade of pale pink is not working with her skin tone and new hair color combo).

  22. Tessa says:

    Her hair is styled horribly here. I loved it at the Met Gala, hate it here.

  23. Esmom says:

    It’s like she chose the least flattering hair color possible. Yuck.

    And I agree with those who said it was OK for the Met ball. But this version looks like a bad wig from the 70s.

  24. serena says:

    Eww too dark eyebrows, and the hairstyle is totally boring, flat ironed and part-sided.

  25. JL says:

    Wow she looks at least 45. BADDDD look.

  26. emmylouwho says:

    I love the dress. And I think it looks great on her. I don’t mind the hair color in general, but not styled like this, and not while wearing a pale pastel.

  27. Klavier says:

    She looks like Andy Warhol …

  28. grabbyhands says:

    I thought the blonde looked horrible at the Met (in her defense, pretty much everyone looked horrible at the Met) and it looks worse here. She needs to go back to her natural color.

  29. GiGi says:

    I don’t mind the blonde/dark brow combo a la Agyness Deyn – but it’s not meant to be worn all whispy and soft. She def. needs some product – that hair needs some spirit, lol!

  30. Andrea says:

    It’s not super flattering but it is fun and attention getting which is probably what she was going for.

    Anne is a great talent. I know she annoys people but at least she has the talent to back it up.

  31. Maria says:

    I like the cut and color but not the shape of the sleeves.

    She’s rocking the blonde look for sure.

  32. dinah says:

    This- this is *not* good. At all.

  33. Shelley says:

    I think Anne looks beautiful as a blonde. And the dress is cute and sexy.

  34. maxine says:

    For some reason I get a Liza Minelli vibe from this look. Love it on Liza, not so much on Anne.

  35. Ellen Smith says:

    Husband reminds me of when Paris Hilton carried around her Chihuahua.

  36. nadia says:

    she looks like twiggy. I like it. A nice change for her, gives her some edge.

  37. Feebee says:

    The blonde worked at the Met because of styling. Here it looks pretty awful. The clash with the dark eyebrows and makeup is jarring.

    • xoxokaligrl says:

      I thought it looked better at the MET too. I do not like it here at all.

  38. Shelly says:

    I don’t think she looks bad in pale pink, but I like the blonde hair when it’s pushed back off her face much better.

  39. Zigggy says:

    I’m digging the blond with the dark eye makeup and brows- I don’t know why!

  40. MellyBee says:

    Here’s my advice to my girlfriends, and now to Anne. NEVER have sexy time with a man who is tinier than you. I don’t know why, but each time I see that sort of coupling, it never works out. No offense to tiny men. For some reason it can’t work when your man wears jeans sizes that are smaller than your own. And she’s just a wee little thing too!

  41. Nicolette says:

    She looked better the other night when her hair was styled off of her face, and her makeup was different. This just looks too heavy around her face, and I think it would help if she lightened up her brows. They’re too dark for that shade of blonde.

  42. miss c says:

    KATE LANPHEAR
    They all copy her. It is getting old.

    Anne, Michelle did it better. So wipe the smug, sh*t eating grin off your face.’

    I am not a Hathaway fan. Give me GOOP any day of the week.

  43. taxi says:

    Eyeliner & brows are too dark for blondie & pastels aren’t great with her skin tone. Dress length isn’t flattering – needs better legs or at least some definition.

    Isn’t that the same dress, only long & with sleeves, as the white one Cate Blanchett wore a few months ago on some red carpet? Idr the designer & I can’t be sure without seeing the back.

    • Mew says:

      Yeah, the makeup is way too harsh. She updated her hair but forgot that such a radical change should take more radical changes – the makeup and clothing that does well with dark hair doesn’t do much with blonde hair.

  44. It'sJustBlanche says:

    I usually think she looks fantastic but she looks hagged out here.

  45. madpoe says:

    idk. the last pix reminds me of Twila Swinton. Some type of hair style, clothes style she’d do. My hubby can’t get over how “huge” Anne’s eyes are. lol

  46. Chordy says:

    I think she looks freaking hot with the blonde. The blonde is so hot it’s even making her husband hotter.

  47. Mon says:

    No, no, no, no! Is she trying to turn herself into January Jones or does she like MadMen too much??

  48. anneesezz says:

    Not everyone can pull off blonde hair, obviously.

  49. Kim says:

    I love her new hair color. I prefer her natural color but she is young enough to take chances & go bold and its a fun change.

  50. Seagulls says:

    What ever did happen to Baby Jane? Someone check on Blanche!

  51. NEENAZEE says:

    Too much bang plastered down on her head and face… and is it just me? or is Adam getting thinner and less attractive the longer they’re married?

  52. carol says:

    she’s gonna age like liza minelli

  53. Melanie says:

    White I absolutely HATE her, I sorta like the blonde on her. At least she looks like a girl now….

  54. holly hobby says:

    Well now it looks ugly and beige styled like that. Really she should just buzz it all off and reboot her hair. It’s hideous.

  55. I Choose Me says:

    It’s not my favourite shade of blond for reasons already stated by others but she looks good. That dress is super cute.

  56. ugh says:

    I thought she was going to disappear for a while after oscar….guess not! gosh. just go away!!

  57. Athena says:

    Yikes!….Hathaway looks like the love child of Dusty Springfield and one of the elves from Lord of the Rings.

  58. Jaxx says:

    No, it looked good brushed back. This bangs look is gross. Brushed back she looked, sexy, edgy, and made her eyes really pop. With it floppy, she looks silly and it clashes with her brown eyes. AnnE, brush it back!!!!

  59. Onyx XV says:

    Completely and totally unflattering. And I’m still wondering when she’s going to realize she married a gay man. A rude awakening is undoubtedly in her future!

  60. Jenn says:

    She looks like she’s auditioning to be a Doctor Who companion. Tom Baker’s Doctor at that.

  61. Defy Convention says:

    Not everyone can carry of this shade of blonde, and Anne is among those who CANNOT. She reminds me of Andy Warhol with this coloration. EPIC FAIL, doll. Dye it back to brunette unless you’re playing Edie Sedgwick in a Lifetime movie.

  62. VioletCrumble says:

    I think she’s trying to give the impression of having *obviously* bleached her hair, I.e. the dark eyebrows, and it’s succeeding. Someone said its fine for a punk look, but the clothes are so un-punk it’s funny. It’s not a 60’s mod look, either. She and hubby look strange together. It’s not anything to do with his size or look, but their body language.
