Hathaway explained that early in her career, she constantly worried about failing in the spotlight. I was always so scared about how I was going to fail, she said. Over time, she learned that the fashion industry is more than just appearances—it’s built on real relationships and creativity. Genuine humanity exists within fashion. I appreciate that so much more now, partially because I know so many more people in it, she shared.

She has become the face of top brands like Versace and Bulgari, citing her deeper understanding of the industry as the reason she now feels at ease. I’m someone who’s slow to open — I’m getting much, much, much better at it, she explained.

Hathaway’s acting schedule for 2026 is packed. She stars in the A24 thriller Mother Mary, performing her own vocals for a role described as a Lady Gaga-Taylor Swift hybrid. She will also reprise Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada 2, appear in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, star alongside Ewan McGregor in the sci-fi thriller Flowervale Street, and take on the Colleen Hoover adaptation Verity.

Hathaway also continues her work in fashion, recently appearing in Bulgari’s 2026 Serpenti campaign with Priyanka Chopra Jonas. She credits her success to understanding the people behind the glamour. When I arrived at that place in a more meaningful way in my life, that was when it opened up for me in terms of a tangible relationship in fashion, she said.

By letting go of her fear of failure, Hathaway has created space to grow in both film and fashion. Her journey shows that even Hollywood veterans can evolve, taking risks while staying authentic.
