Anne Hathaway Wore a Crystal-Covered Micro Minidress With Platforms During SXSW
If you, like me, have read the book that inspired Anne Hathaway's new film The Idea of You, then you're probably freaking out about the fact that it just premiered at South by Southwest, Austin's annual TV and film festival. To my delight, the world premiere resulted in a slew of adorable photos of the actress alongside her co-star, Red, White & Royal Blue actor Nicholas Galitzine, with Hathaway ignoring the festival's somewhat casual dress code and wearing a showstopping micro minidress and platform heels. But are we really surprised? After all, The Devil Wears Prada star has been known to dabble with the combo—and yes, I am thinking of the hot-pink Valentino mini-and-platforms ensemble she wore during Paris Fashion Week back in July 2022.
This time around, the dress that Hathaway and her stylist Erin Walsh chose was a tad less bright in color but equally eye-catching and brilliant. Courtesy of the French fashion house Patou's S/S 24 collection, it was white, with two chevron-shaped strips of baguette embellishments and tiny rhinestones all over. With it, she wore ankle-strap metallic platforms by Aquazzura and loads of Bulgari jewelry, including two tennis bracelets.
See her look for the premiere, and check out the film when it drops on Prime Video on May 2.
