Anne Hathaway Embracing Gen Z Fashion With Flair
In a surprising twist, beloved actress Anne Hathaway has revealed her newfound admiration for the vibrant fashion sense of Generation Z. With a career marked by iconic transformations, from the endearing Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries to the fashionable powerhouse in The Devil Wears Prada, the 40-year-old star has always been at the forefront of style trends.
In a recent interview featured in Vogue, Anne Hathaway took the opportunity to discuss her exciting role as the face of Shiseido’s Vital Protection Line and shared her deep fascination with the Gen Z fashion movement. “I know this sounds like I’m super-pandering, but I’m really switched on by Gen Z,” Anne revealed, shedding light on her latest muse. It’s a fun generation when it comes to fashion,” she added.
The actress was quick to highlight the distinctive way Gen Z approaches fashion, praising their magnetic pull towards colors and aesthetics, which she playfully termed “dopamine dressing.” “Their relationship with [fashion], the way it’s received, it’s a really, really fun dance,” she stated.
According to Anne, she used to feel confined by a singular style. But thanks to acting, the Dark Knight Rises actress has seen that her style can flow. ““And that’s part of the reason why I love being an actor, and my style is fluid. And once I realized that, then I felt like something clicked. But that’s just me. It’s different. Some people are like, ‘Nope, black turtleneck every day,’ ” she said.
Anne’s loyalty to her style journey is reflected in the lasting relationships she has cultivated with her style team. She expressed her dedication, revealing that she holds immense value in loyalty and longevity, and that she has stuck with those who assist her in curating her fun and flawless looks for decades.
Amidst the fast-paced and exhilarating life Anne leads, she confessed to seeking balance, a sentiment she translates into her off-duty fashion choices. “When I’m not at work and when the stakes are not quite that high, I tend to keep it pretty simple, pretty nourishing. Very comfortable. But funny enough, I’m not comfortable unless there’s a little bit of edge there,” the actress explained, revealing her quest for equilibrium between relaxation and expression.
Anne’s affinity for unique style caught the eye of her long-term stylist, Erin Walsh, who recently secured a spot in The Hollywood Reporter’s prestigious list of Hollywood’s 25 Most Powerful Stylists. Anne praised Erin’s understanding of her distinct preferences, stating that the stylist has embraced her quirks and individuality.
Thanks to Walsh and the rest of the team, Anne finds fashion fun and isn’t done dazzling her fans yet. Her upcoming film, She Came to Me, will once again showcase her ever-evolving style, as she shares the screen with Game Of Thrones star Peter Dinklage. Set against the backdrop of New York City, the romantic comedy follows Anne’s character — a love interest to a struggling opera composer.
