At a Bulgari jewelry event in Rome, Anne Hathaway, 41, turned heads with her stunning white shirt dress that brought the Gap back into the spotlight. The dress, a custom creation by Zac Posen, Gap’s creative director and executive vice president, featured an asymmetrical button-up style made of 100% organic cotton. Inspired by the iconic Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, the dress added a feminine twist with darting at the waist and a coordinating corset.
Styled by Erin Walsh, Hathaway elevated her outfit by accessorizing with dazzling pieces of Bulgari jewelry. She wore a show-stopping sapphire-and-diamond necklace from the house’s high jewelry collection, along with a matching sapphire cocktail ring, a diamond Serpenti bracelet, and sparkling statement earrings. Hathaway kept her hair in a bouncy blowout and opted for neutral makeup with a light pink lip to complement her glamorous ensemble.
Anne Hathaway, a New Jersey native, has been making bold and stylish fashion choices lately. While promoting her latest film, “The Idea of You,” she even joined TikTok to showcase some of her boldest ensembles from the past few years. From a colorful Christopher John Rogers look to a hot pink sequined minidress from a 2022 Valentino couture show, she has been setting the bar high. Additionally, her past looks that were “dripping in Bulgari” have also garnered attention, such as the crystal-covered mesh Atelier Versace gown she wore with rubies aplenty for the brand’s high jewelry show in Venice last year.
This new way of dressing is a clear departure from the style Anne Hathaway has been known for. It is refreshing to see her embrace bold colors and statement pieces, showcasing her versatility as a fashion icon. With the Gap making a resurgence in the fashion scene, Hathaway’s choice to wear their custom creation by Zac Posen further solidifies the brand’s comeback. It will be interesting to see how this influence impacts other celebrities and designers in the future.
