‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ star Anne Hathaway’s most iconic red carpet looks

Anne Hathaway is not just one of the most talented actors of her generation but one of its most consistent and genuinely exciting red carpet presences. As a Bulgari global ambassador with close personal ties to Valentino Garavani and Donatella Versace, fashion has always been as much a part of her story as the films themselves. Since breaking through with 'The Princess Diaries' in 2001, she has delivered look after unforgettable look, and here are the ones that defined her style journey.

For her big night at the Academy Awards, Hathaway wore a pale pink satin Prada gown paired with a floral diamond necklace from Tiffany and Co., a look that was as quietly elegant as the moment itself. She took home the trophy for Best Supporting Actress that evening, making the entire look one of the most memorable Oscar night combinations of the decade. It was the kind of outfit that understood exactly what the night called for and delivered it without a single misstep.

For the 'China: Through The Looking Glass' exhibition at the Met, Hathaway arrived in a classic-with-a-twist hooded gold lamé Ralph Lauren Collection gown that immediately became one of the most talked-about looks of the evening. The hood gave the gown a theatrical, almost architectural quality that felt perfectly suited to the theme while remaining unmistakably her. It was the night she proved she could do grand fashion spectacle with as much ease as she does everything else.

Glowing in a black and gold Naeem Khan caftan-style gown, Hathaway arrived at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party that year and turned a maternity look into one of the most elegant moments of the entire awards season. The caftan silhouette was the perfect choice, draping beautifully and showcasing rather than concealing her baby bump with a confidence and grace that made the look feel entirely intentional. It remains one of the most stylish pregnancy red carpet moments in recent memory.

Heading to 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' in 2022, Hathaway chose a highlighter-hued three-piece Christopher John Rogers ensemble that was bold, joyful, and entirely unexpected for a television appearance. The colour choice alone would have made the look memorable but the three-piece silhouette gave it a structural confidence that elevated it into something genuinely fashion-forward. It was a reminder that her best style moments often happen when she leans into the unexpected.

Bringing genuine royal energy to the Bulgari Infinity Serpents Exhibition in 2025, Hathaway wore a beautiful tea-length Oscar de la Renta gown alongside serious jewellery that felt entirely at home given her role as the brand's global ambassador. The look had the kind of timeless, considered elegance that she has refined over two decades on the red carpet, effortless without being understated. It was a reminder that nobody wears occasion dressing quite like her.

With 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' press tour underway, Hathaway arrived at the Shanghai premiere in a whimsical baby pink and periwinkle feather dress by Susan Fang that felt like a deliberate, delightful contrast to the sharp power dressing the film is known for. The look was playful and light in a way that suggested someone having genuine fun with fashion rather than simply fulfilling a red carpet obligation. It immediately became one of the most photographed looks of the entire press tour.

For the Seoul red carpet event for 'The Devil Wears Prada 2', Hathaway arrived in all-red Balenciaga and brought back Andy Sachs' iconic bangs, giving the look a nostalgic nod to the film that made her a fashion icon in the first place. The combination of the bold monochromatic look and the character detail was the kind of thoughtful, self-aware style move that only someone with a genuine understanding of their own fashion history could pull off. It was one of the most talked-about moments of the entire press tour.
