Clashing press tours can provide a bit of a conundrum for celebrities—but not, it seems, for Anne Hathaway.
What happens to method dressing and personal style identity across never-ending red carpets? Not to mention, all the archive pulls and admin for the celebrity stylist when juggling a slew of press days, premieres, and photo calls. Anne Hathaway has joined the likes of Zendaya and Jacob Elordi in promoting multiple projects at once this year, with the forthcoming Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mother Mary.
Hathaway and her stylist Erin Walsh have taken a focused approach, making sure to hit all the pillars of contemporary red carpet style without the need to embrace each movie’s aesthetic too literally or liberally. What turns out to be a safe bet, somehow? The celebrity-favorite naked dress.
The actor stepped out last night (April 14) in New York City for a Mother Mary listening party and Q+A event, wearing a sheer fish-net dress from the Calvin Klein Collection fall 2026 runway, scattered with black petals and black underwear. She wore a structured black blazer off her shoulders like a cape, and oversized black sunglasses. Hathaway also toted a small black leather bucket bag and wore black pointed pumps.
At the New York premiere on Monday night (April 14), Hathaway did some soft-touch method dressing and some more naked dressing, wearing a custom Lever Couture gown composed of undulating swathes of shimmering sheer fabric, and matching metallic Louboutins, with lashings of Bvlgari jewelry. Both transparent ’fits fall in step with the Mother Mary vibe: an A24 psychological drama-thriller that hits somewhere between Phantom Thread, Suspiria, and a Lady Gaga Chromatica tour doc. Hathaway plays a pop star vying for a comeback, and enlists a designer (Michaela Coel) to create just the dress for her return.
Other outings so far have cast Hathaway in serious, sexy, gothic-leaning looks: sky-high Versace platforms with a long-line Sacai blazer vest and a DeMellier bag (a brand toted by DWP2 co-star Meryl Streep, too), as well as a slinky Coperni mini-dress, and Victoria Beckham skirt suit with a high-necked fish-net top.
For Hathaway’s Devil Wears Prada 2 promo looks, she’s leaned into Andy Sachs as an all-grown-up fashion girl: there’s been fresh-off-the-runway Valentino (and those infamous Rockstuds to reference the first DWP2 trailer), a sparkling Stella McCartney mini-dress with stompy thigh-high boots, slick Vaquera leather trousers paired with bitchy Balenciaga pumps, and a super feminine Susan Fang ruffled dress. Flashes of red—from her Louboutins to a Balenciaga leather co-ord—provide a subtle nod to the movie. No cerulean just yet, but there was a set of Andy Sachs-esque bangs cut in.
Despite the films being so vastly different, there’s a golden thread of both refinement and fun in Hathaway’s touring wardrobe. As movie promos converge and diverge, Anne Hathaway and Erin Walsh have a vast spectrum of style to play with.
