Anne Hathaway doesn’t see herself as a true fashionista.

“I view myself more as a guest,” Hathaway, 41, said in her cover story with V Magazine, published on Monday, April 22, in which she denies being a “fashion person.”

She continued: “I’m an actress first … I think there’s a degree of stamina and schlepping involved in being a proper fashion person. I’m very grateful to be a guest.”

While she’s informally “studied” the history of fashion, Hathaway thinks “it’d be an insult to someone whose education revolved around it” to call herself a fashion person. “I’ve been welcomed for a long time and been shown great kindness and generosity by people whose lives it is.”

If you ask Us, Hathaway has made her mark on the fashion industry through the years. One of her standout moments came at the 2023 Met Gala, when she slayed the “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” theme in a custom Atelier Versace tweed gown. Her dress featured gold and pearl embellished safety pins, a plunging neckline and matching sleeves.

“I work with an amazing team,” Hathaway gushed to Vogue about her look. “I’m just a lucky girl.

Hathaway even walked down the aisle in a custom wedding gown designed by her “good friend” Valentino Garavani, as she married Adam Shulman in 2012.

When she’s not sporting a gown, Hathaway looks just as fabulous in street wear. In September 2022, she reminded Us of her The Devil Wears Prada character, Andy Sachs, in a brown alligator skin coat and a sweater dress while attending the Michael Kors Collection spring/summer 2023 fashion show in New York City. She elevated her look with black heels from Christian Louboutin.
