Anne Hathaway is having a minidress moment. She is in her minidress era. She has reinvented the minidress. The two different minidress looks she wore to the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo opening in April are just the latest examples.
Like, let’s talk about this little black dress Hathaway wore on April 3. The dainty strapless frock is covered in volume-adding ruffles and decorated at the waist with a large ribbon bow. It’s the kind of dress that’s easy to overdo, but Hathaway pared the look back with loose hair and natural makeup—giant diamond choker necklace notwithstanding. As usual, the actor paired the dress with Santoni shoes as tall as the hemline is short, making her legs look approximately eight feet long.
Hathaway’s look for this event appears to have been put together by her usual stylist (and the woman credited for the Anne-naissance), Erin Walsh, who posted the dress to her IG Stories.
Next, Hathaway donned an LPD (little purple dress) on April 4. She paired the jewel-toned eggplant mini with matching purple tights and purple platform Mary-Jane heels. Has head-to-toe lavender ever looked this chic? The answer is no.
Since the dawn of the Anne-aissance, minidresses have become a staple of the Princess Diaries star’s wardrobe. Consider the stunning little leather number she wore to the Versace show in March. Or the bedazzled leopard-print dress she wore to the Valentino show during Paris Fashion Week in January. Or the ’90s inspired black dress she wore to the Sundance Film Festival that same month. It’s not as though long hemlines are gone from the star’s wardrobe forever, but she has definitely emerged as a short-skirt girlie.
The minidress is the moment and the moment is Anne Hathaway.
