Anne Hathaway flaunts a runway‑inspired ruby outfit, matching accessories and a glowing pregnancy while promoting her upcoming film Verity.
On September 18, the actress known for her chameleon-like performances arrived at a New York press junket wearing a striking two-piece ensemble that echoed the most talked-about look from Carolina Herrera’s Spring 2027 runway. The custom outfit, fashioned from a ribbed knit in a saturated ruby hue, instantly became the day’s fashion headline, confirming that even a maternity look can command runway-level drama.
Designed by Wes Gordon, the Spring 2027 collection celebrated 45 years of Carolina Herrera’s legacy. Hathaway’s version of the light-blue runway set was transformed into a bold red, a color shift that highlighted the designer’s penchant for reinterpreting classic silhouettes.
The outfit combined a short-sleeve crewneck top with a pencil-cut midi skirt, both featuring tiered, wave-like hems that swayed around her baby bump, creating a balanced blend of elegance and comfort.
Custom Carolina Herrera ensemble reveals runway inspiration
The ribbed knit construction gave the set a sculptural quality, while the tiered hems added movement reminiscent of a flowing cascade. The Carolina Herrera label, long associated with refined tailoring, chose a minimalist palette for the runway, but Hathaway’s bespoke version adopted the vibrant ruby shade that appeared elsewhere in the collection, turning heads on the streets of Manhattan. By hugging her silhouette, the garment accentuated the natural curve of her pregnancy without sacrificing the sleek, editorial vibe that the brand is known for.
Accessories and styling complete the celebrity look
Collaborating with stylist Erin Walsh, Hathaway paired the knit set with crystal-embellished stiletto sandals from Aquazzura adding a sparkle that caught the city lights. She finished the ensemble with an array of Bulgari pieces, most notably a serpentine bracelet and sleek sunglasses, both echoing the serpentine motif that runs through the brand’s recent jewelry collections. Her long brown hair was left in loose waves, and a matching red lip sealed the monochromatic statement. The look was further underscored by a glossy, $8,000 Serpenti Duo Top Handle bag, an iconic piece that reinforced her status as a global ambassador for the Italian luxury house.
Film promotion and upcoming release of Verity
While the fashion moment dominated headlines, Hathaway was also on a tight promotional schedule for her next cinematic project, Verity. The psychological thriller, adapted from Colleen Hoover’s 2018 bestseller, pairs Hathaway with Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett. In the film, she portrays celebrated author Verity Crawford, whose mysterious accident leaves her husband (Hartnett) desperate for a ghostwriter, played by Johnson. The movie is set to hit theaters on October 2, and the New York press junket served as a launchpad for both the film and the actress’s radiant maternity appearance.
Pregnancy and career milestones
At 43, Hathaway announced her third pregnancy in June, joining a growing list of high-profile actresses welcoming babies later in life. She has already welcomed two sons, Jonathan (10) and Jack (6), with husband Adam Shulman, whom she married in 2012. Balancing a demanding filming schedule—including upcoming roles alongside Tom Cruise in a sequel to “Days of Thunder”—with motherhood, Hathaway has become a vocal advocate for the challenges and joys of late-stage pregnancy. Her recent Instagram reel, set to Barbara Lewis’s “Baby, I’m Yours,” offered fans a glimpse of her growing belly, further amplifying the public’s fascination with her dual role as a star and soon-to-be mother.
From the runway to the red carpet, Hathaway’s choice to wear a custom-tailored, ruby-red knit set illustrates how a single outfit can bridge fashion, film promotion, and personal narrative. The ensemble not only highlighted the latest Carolina Herrera collection but also underscored the actress’s ability to turn a press event into a style moment that will be remembered throughout the season.
