Anne Hathaway, 43, Brings the Heat in Sheer Ralph Lauren at New York Fashion Week
Anne Hathaway grabbed attention at New York Fashion Week when she arrived at the Ralph Lauren Fall 2026 show in a daring outfit. Photos and reports from the event quickly spread online, with many fashion watchers talking about her bold look.
She wore a black lace gown with a halter neckline and a long train. The fabric was completely sheer, which made the outfit one of her most daring red carpet choices in recent years. The look was styled with a dark brown feather boa that added a vintage Hollywood feel. When she removed the boa for photos, it became clear the dress was from the Ralph Lauren Fall 2025 collection. Fashion experts at the show identified it as Look 44 from that line.

The appearance comes at a busy time in Hathaway’s career. According to reports from film and fashion outlets, she is currently working on a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. Last summer, she was seen filming scenes while wearing Ralph Lauren pieces, which has led fans to believe her fashion choices are connected to her character Andy Sachs. This approach is often called method dressing, where actors wear outfits that reflect their roles.

Hathaway has several projects in progress. She is starring in the upcoming film Mother Mary, directed by David Lowery and co-starring Michaela Coel. She also recently appeared in The Idea of You, which performed strongly on streaming platforms.
The new Devil Wears Prada will bring back Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt. The story will likely explore how the magazine world has changed with social media and influencers. The script is being written by Aline Brosh McKenna, who also wrote the original film.
Her fashion week appearance has already sparked excitement among fans who are eager to see her return to the iconic role.
