Anne Hathaway Goes from Embracing Leather in 80-Degree Weather to Baring Her Abs on N.Y.C. Press Tour

Anne Hathaway is up for a challenge, especially when it comes to fashion. 

The actress, 41, has gone from Princess of Genovia to queen of high-fashion in her style renaissance(or shall we say, re-anne-ssance). And in recent years, she’s pulled off many glamorous looks, now including the ones she most recently wore on the Idea of You press tour in New York City.

On April 28, the actress, who also produced the film, stepped out for a screening and panel event rocking leather from top to bottom, styled by Erin Walsh.

There were lots of layers to this edgy Ralph Lauren look, which featured a vest, blazer and trousers (all made of leather) that Walsh teamed with a black tie and white collared shirt. She also wore Jimmy Choo stilettos, plus sunglasses and jewelry by Bulgari. 

The masculine-meets-feminine ensemble was reminiscent of Julie Andrews’ 1982 Victor/Victoria suit, which Hathaway also channeled on her cover of V Magazine. 

What was also super impressive about Hathaway’s commitment to leather, was that on the day she wore it, it was nearly 80 degrees in the Big Apple. How she could pull off one of the heaviest fabrics is unbeknownst to us, but she slayed nonetheless. 

On April 29, the Oscar winner continued her style streak in two monochromatic outfits. First up, she served modern-day Victorian elegance in a white minidress and cropped jacket (both adorned with gold buttons). She accessorized with white tights (a super trendy accessory right now) and a white Le Patou crescent bag by Patou. 

Hathaway then changed into a sheer aquamarine dress that showed a hint of skin with the design’s abs-baring panel. The dress had an oceanic vibe to it as well, thanks to the flouncy curved hem on the skirt. Teal stilettos rounded out the look.

As with her style, Hathaway loves to push the envelope in the roles she plays, which is exactly what she did with The Idea of You (officially out on Prime Video on May 2). 

“In the beginning of the film, the character…she’s really scared of going on that adventure because she’s had such a rough experience with her ex-husband,” she told PEOPLE of playing Soléne at the SXSW premiere in March. “And so to me, I was incredibly moved by the opportunity to tell the story of a woman blooming.”

Soléne finds love in Hayes (Nicholas Galitzine), a boy band member nearly two decades her junior, and Hathaway told PEOPLE it was “a real thrill to be a part of the team bringing this to life.”

“I don’t know why we don’t have more stories about human beings blooming at any age. We’re always coming of age, all the time.”
