On April 13, Hathaway made a striking entrance in an exquisite custom gown by Lever Couture. The sculptural white dress featured a gauzy fabric and an asymmetrical design that accentuated her figure. She completed her look with an elegant Alexis Bittar clutch and silver pumps from Christian Louboutin, proving her flair for fashion remains as potent as ever.
However, it was the dazzling Bulgari jewellery that truly captivated onlookers. The actress adorned herself with earrings and rings crafted from 18-karat white gold, complemented by breathtaking diamonds and emeralds from the renowned Serpenti collection. As a long-time ambassador for the brand, Hathaway recently made headlines at a star-studded Bulgari event in Bollate, Italy, further solidifying her connection to luxury fashion.
In her new role as a pop star seeking redemption, Hathaway portrays the titular character in “Mother Mary.” The psychological thriller tells the story of a musician navigating the complexities of fame and relationships, notably rekindling her bond with her estranged best friend and former costume designer, played by Michaela Coel. Directed by David Lowery, the film also features a strong supporting cast, including Hunter Schafer, Kaia Gerber, and FKA Twigs.
Speaking with Empire magazine, Lowery shared insights into the character’s inspiration. He noted that he infused elements of contemporary pop culture into Hathaway’s role, drawing parallels between her character and the trajectory of Taylor Swift’s career. “When we were shaping the character, I often thought, ‘Imagine Taylor Swift in ten or fifteen years — that’s kind of who Mother Mary could evolve into,’” he explained.
Interestingly, Hathaway and Lowery bonded over a shared experience as they attended Swift’s Eras Tour in Europe following the film’s wrap. To commemorate their collaboration, Hathaway gifted Lowery a beaded bracelet inspired by Swift’s song “Anti-Hero,” highlighting the intertwining themes of friendship and artistry in their work.
“Mother Mary” is set for release on April 17 and is part of a busy schedule for Hathaway, who also stars in the highly anticipated sequel “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” set to hit cinemas on May 1. In addition, her filmography for 2026 includes “The Odyssey” slated for a July 17 release and “Verity” scheduled for October 2.
As the date for “The Devil Wears Prada 2” approaches, Hathaway has delighted fans by bringing back her character Andy Sachs’ iconic bangs. This nostalgic homage was evident during press events across Asia, including appearances in Seoul and Shanghai, where she celebrated the film with her team.
Stylist Orlando Pita shared a snapshot of Hathaway sporting the classic haircut on Instagram, praising their creative collaboration. In the original 2006 film, Hathaway’s portrayal of Andy Sachs, a young journalist navigating the cutthroat world of fashion, resonated with audiences worldwide, cementing her status as a Hollywood star.
With “Mother Mary” and “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” Hathaway continues to explore diverse roles that capture the essence of contemporary femininity and resilience. As she navigates this exciting phase of her career, fans eagerly anticipate what lies ahead for the multi-talented actress.
