Anne Hathaway is the Face of Regal Elegance

It seems like destiny that Anne Hathaway has had such an amazing acting career because she was aptly named after William Shakespeare's wife! Well...destiny and talent. She was born in Millburn, New Jersey on November 12, 1982 to a lawyer and an actress, which probably explains why she's so good. It's in her genes. However, Anne also possesses another quality that a lot of Hollywood stars don't...intelligence. Anne Hathaway has attended Vassar and New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, which is probably why she's so eloquent and well-spoken during all of her interviews.

Besides acting, Anne is also a well-trained soprano vocalist. In fact, she famously had to turn down the starring role in the Phantom of the Opera movie (which ultimately went to Emmy Rossum) because of contract disputes with Disney. Anyway, Hathaway landed her first big break in the acting world when she was cast in the TV series Get Real. The show ended up getting cancelled, but she went on to star in the movie The Other Side of Heaven along with Christopher Gorham. After that, she earned the role of Mia Thermopolis in The Pricess Diaries, which is the role that made her a star.

She then went on to star in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, Havoc, Brokeback Mountain, The Devil Wears Prada, Becoming Jane, and Get Smart. Although I loved her in all of these films, my personal favorite was The Devil Wears Prada. The funny thing is that I remember her talking about how she thinks she lacks personal style, so the movie was a bit of a learning experience for her. I have to disagree with her because I think her "lack of personal style" is actually the best kind of style because it allows her to dress more freely and really express herself through her fashion.

For example, here she is at an event celebrating Valentino, wearing none other than Valentino. Each of the three dresses does an excellent job of drawing attention to her porcelain complexion.

Here she is, in a pair of funky sunglasses by Jee Vice. This look reminds me of a modern Audrey Hepburn mixed with a bit of Edie Sedgwick.

Anne Hathaway looked beyond stunning in a red Marchesa gown at the 2008 Oscars. Again, the combination of the bright red dress and her jet black hair really makes her clear skin pop.

Of course I couldn't discuss Anne Hathaway and fashion without mentioning her looks in The Devil Wears Prada. Here's a picture snapped of the actress while she was in character as Andrea "Andy" Sachs. She's wearing a Kristina Ti tweed miniskirt, Chanel jacket, and Chanel thigh-high boots. ...And here another shot of Anne ("Andy") in a DKNY turtleneck, a leather jacket by Vince, darkwash jeans from Japanese Fabric, and suede stiletto boots by Calvin Klein.
