Anne Hathaway is looking back at her bolder fashion moments, and her fans are absolutely here for it. The Oscar winner recently sparked a social media frenzy after sharing a series of throwback photos on Instagram, featuring a daring look that has quickly racked up over 2.1 million likes.
The images showcase Hathaway in a striking latex ensemble, consisting of a form-fitting corset and a matching miniskirt. The caption for the post read like a cryptic highlight reel of her life and career: Daphne Kluger-rubber-dress-Ginger-heart-wooden-spoon-homemade-Zootopia-Halloween-I-voted-with-a-smile.
Reflecting on the bold wardrobe choice, she added a playful note about the year the photos were taken. 2016 was wholesome but also latex? she questioned, referencing the era when she played the glamorous Daphne Kluger in the heist film Ocean’s 8.
The reaction from her followers was one of overwhelming joy, with thousands of comments praising her timeless style and willingness to experiment with edgy looks. While she has been embracing a “fashion renaissance” on red carpets lately, this peek into her past wardrobe reminded everyone that she has always been a trendsetter.
Away from social media, Hathaway’s professional life has been equally intense and high-profile. Her first release of 2024 was the psychological thriller Mothers’ Instinct, where she played a mother dealing with the tragic loss of her son.
To prepare for the role, Hathaway requested that the cast and crew call her by her character’s name to maintain a protective layer between herself and the heavy material. She admitted that the loss of a child is her worst fear, making the performance particularly taxing.
She followed that heavy drama with the record-breaking romantic comedy The Idea of You. Critics and audiences alike praised her performance as a divorced mother falling for a younger pop star, noting the undeniable chemistry between her and co-star Nicholas Galitzine.
As we move into 2026, Hathaway is arguably the busiest actress in the industry, with five major theatrical releases lined up for the year. The most anticipated of these is undoubtedly The Devil Wears Prada 2, which is scheduled to hit theaters in May 2026.
Reprising her iconic role as Andy Sachs, Hathaway filmed the sequel between June and October 2025. The new story reportedly finds Andy navigating the complexities of the modern digital media landscape alongside Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly.
Her 2026 roster also includes the A24 pop-star melodrama Mother Mary, which is set to premiere in April. She will then pivot to the historical epic The Odyssey, reuniting with director Christopher Nolan for a retelling of the Greek myth.
In August, she will star in the science fiction mystery Flowervale Street, and she is also set to lead the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling thriller Verity in October. Additionally, she is currently working on Ron Howard’s war drama Alone at Dawn alongside Adam Driver.
Adding to her packed schedule, Hathaway was recently announced as the lead for a new Paramount+ true crime series titled Fear Not. She will play Margy Palm, a woman who formed an unlikely bond with her kidnapper, a prolific serial killer.
Whether she is wearing high-fashion latex or portraying complex characters on screen, Anne Hathaway continues to prove her incredible range and staying power. It seems that 2026 will truly be the year of Hathaway, as she dominates every genre from fashion satire to epic history.
