At this point, it's pretty safe to say that Anne Hathaway has some of the best red carpet style in the industry (her many Versace moments speak for themselves). But her latest look was definitely next level: a custom cotton shirt dress from Gap (yes, that Gap), designed by the brand's creative director Zac Posen, that looked like it came straight off the runway. of. The rising star, who is currently in Rome, attended the luxury jewelry brand's May 20 fashion show in a white gown worn over a corset (also custom Gap) and accessorized with Bulgari diamonds.
When it comes to her style, Hathaway has some serious range. Last month, she wore a sleek, structured fiery red gown that featured a sculptural silhouette and strategic cutouts. In contrast, this Gap dress is made from 100% poplin, making it light and breezy even with the corset underneath. Despite these differences, Hathaway made a lasting style impact in both looks.
Annie's Stunning Shirt Dress
When imagining the Hathaway dress, Posen referenced details from Gap's classic cotton button-down shirts, creating a deconstructed shirt dress that looks flawless. His solution? It includes deep pockets, a peak collar and short sleeves, one of which falls to one shoulder. Audrey Hepburn's classic costumes from the movie "Roman Holiday" were also a source of inspiration.
To add some drama to the maxi dress, Hathaway's stylist Erin Walsh layered it over a white Gap bodice, which features defined boning and a sheer bodice. She also unbuttoned the top and bottom of the dress, creating a revealing silhouette with a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit. To accentuate the look, she added pointed-toe white pumps for a monochromatic effect.
All studded with diamonds
Hathaway, a long-time brand ambassador for Bulgari, accessorized the outfit with an array of diamonds. The Idea of You star accessorized with a sparkling white diamond necklace with a giant blue sapphire in the center, a pair of diamond cluster earrings, a diamond and sapphire ring and a wraparound silver Serpenti bracelet. Mixing Gap with millions of dollars worth of diamonds? We have no choice but to persevere.
Good news: Gap will release a version of this chic dress on gap.com. Personally, I would buy one to wear to brunch, vacation, and any other occasion.
