Anne Hathaway is turning the red carpet into her personal runway—and shutting down absurd online chatter with pure class along the way. The 43-year-old Oscar winner, currently pregnant with her third child, made waves over the weekend at the star-studded premiere of her film The End of Oak Street, proudly showing off her visible baby bump in a breathtaking designer ensemble.
However, the internet’s relentless peanut gallery quickly chimed in, with a bizarre corner of social media speculating that the star’s baby bump looked “too perfect” to be genuine. Never one to let ridiculous rumors slide without a touch of humor, Hathaway swiftly set the record straight on her personal Instagram account. Sharing a glamorous video recap from the premiere’s carpet, she shut down the conspiracy theories in four simple words:
“Fake hair, real bump.”
Hours later, the actress kept the momentum going in Hollywood, arriving at the Jimmy Kimmel Live! studios in a chic Lein top and tailored trousers. Appearing alongside her The End of Oak Street co-star Ewan McGregor, the duo sat down with guest host Anthony Anderson—who was filling in for Jimmy Kimmel during his annual summer hiatus—to discuss their new project and the sheer joy of cinematic storytelling.
While chatting on the red carpet at Sunday night’s premiere, Hathaway reflected on the creative freedom of maternity style, giving major credit to her longtime fashion collaborator:
“It’s really fun. A lot of designers have been very excited. Erin Walsh, my stylist, is killing it… It doesn’t [last] forever so we’re just enjoying every moment.”
Hathaway is currently navigating one of the most prolific and acclaimed chapters of her career. Having already dominated the box office in The Devil Wears Prada 2, Mother Mary, and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, her slate remains stacked. With The End of Oak Street hitting theaters and the adaptation of Verity slated for release later this year, Hathaway proves that staying at the top of your game is all about grace, humor, and effortless style.
