Anne Hathaway in Oscar de la Renta: lovely or tragic?

love_and_other_drugs_10_wenn3130266

Yesterday, I covered some newish photos of Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway in Australia, doing a photo call and promoting Love & Other Drugs. Hathaway was wearing a really fug Christopher Kane ice-skater’s onesie that sparkled magically in the heterosexual gleam of Jake’s eye. It was tacky. So I’m glad to see that Anne was greatly improved for the Australian premiere – Anne is wearing Oscar de la Renta (Spring 2011). Jake is in Burberry, although I think he’s worn this same suit for every formal event in the past month.

Anne has been doing some bridal styles for this promotional round, and I have to admit, this de la Renta might be my favorite. Is it kind of bridesmaid-y? Sure. But I don’t even think that’s the fault of the dress – Anne just seems to have bridesmaid style, in general. But I think the mod silhouette really works in Anne’s favor – she doesn’t look “too old” or “too much” like she sometimes tends to.

    Really not a fan of hers at all, but she does look cute in that dress.

  2. rentho says:

    i think she looks nice, might have looked just a lil better if her hair was down

  3. hebc says:

    I love Anne but that dress is too big and doesn’t go with her skin tone (I love her skin tone though, very creamy and beautiful)

  4. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    I don’t get a bride vibe from this but I do love it. My first thought when seeing it was cute. So I approve. I think its darling on her and she looks great.

    I can barely look at Swiftenhaal, he makes me so sad.

  5. nnn says:

    It’s young and sophisticatedly cute. She looks great !

  6. Sara says:

    LOVE the dress, just doesn’t look good on her.

  7. spinner says:

    I think Anne is one of those people that look much better moving, on film. Stills don’t do her justice. She has very large features that seem exaggerated in still shots.

  8. carrie says:

    boring!

  9. womanfromthenorth says:

    I love it! She is indeed a “looker”

  10. gigi* says:

    nop!

  11. Whatever! says:

    Love her. Used to love him. I don’t know, he always seems so smug. Like he’s better than everyone else and it’s beneath him to have to do interviews to promote his projects. This is the unfortunete side affect of knowing too much about celebs. Now I have no interest in his movies. Still love her though.

  12. machiavelli says:

    I saw Love and Other Drugs. It was good, but did not live up to the hype. JG was really good. Although AH’s performance was good, I was constantly annoyed by her voice or the way she talks, or something. I want to like her, but, she just comes across as smug everywhere.

  13. Stubbylove says:

    The dress and look are fantastic – I just cannot stand this girl – jealously? I don’t know – just something about her that BUGS.

  14. Canuck says:

    I like it, it’s like bling-bling sixties. The shoes suck though.

  15. IslandGirl says:

    I have to say, in the first picture, her head looks gigantic and her neck, pencil thin. Looks like they pasted her head on someone else’s body. That being said, I think she’s beautiful and the dress is ok. Not loving the fit on her. And I agree, she’s better moving than in some stills.

  16. dread pirate cuervo says:

    The dress is lovely, but it would look better on a girl with darker skin. Anne would have looked better in a blue or purple version.

  17. Ferguson. says:

    I like it, looks very cute on her. I agree with commenter that said it makes her head looks bigger, though.

  18. marge says:

    love the dress, and I think she looks good in it, but the shoes were a very bad choice

  19. Lisa Turtle says:

    Anne has a nice figure, and this bag with sequins does absolutely nothing for her.

    There is nothing to hate, but certainly nothing to admire. It’s just there, existing in a state of “meh”

  20. Kelley says:

    Lovely.

  21. caramia says:

    I guess she had some leftover holiday wrappings, how crafty of her!

  22. Linda says:

    Kind of boring and looks cheap.

  23. DGO says:

    Love the dress, just not so much on her and not with the hair up.

  24. Az says:

    The inevitable Anne Hathaway backlash will be brutal. I’m guessing it hits fever pitch right after the Oscars.

  25. Danny says:

    Caramia, Ha! You nailed it.

    On a side note, those two don’t seem to have the chemistry together. Or maybe it’s just me.

  26. InVain says:

    Like the dress, not the shoes…and her hair should’ve been styled differently.

  27. Hakura says:

    Not liking recent celebrity style has to just be *me* lately, or something. I think this dress does nothing for her body… It looks like an oversized ‘night shirt’ like I used to wear when I was 5.

    You can’t even *see* any sign of her body shape in there.

  28. prell says:

    ugh. The hair. I hate that look with long locks falling in the front. Either keep your cute undone whispies short, or keep them back. That whole thing where long hairs come undone just grosses me out.
    The dress is meh, the shoes are meh. I like this actress, but on this promo she has been pretty meh.

  29. lori says:

    Why is she famous? I don’t get it.

  30. fallen says:

    I like Anne, not liking the dress that much or the shoes. Man her head looks huge in that first shot, and like a skinny neck i dunno weird.

  31. Shoe_Lover says:

    needs different shoes

  32. Trippin says:

    It’s not working on her, more of a J-Lo dress. her hair also eh!

  33. Jenny says:

    I liked her so much in that princess and the prada movie, but now she has somehow lost her appeal. she should change her hairstyle.

  34. insidescoop says:

    I like it! Though i would have worn closed toe shoes with it. mini-dress and strappy sandals in dec, just looks odd

  35. Rachael says:

    Love the dress! Fucking fab.

  36. wonderful says:

    Why can’t I stand this one? Was it “The Princess Diaries”?

  37. Lemon Drops says:

    Looks like wrapping paper. This dress could be better as an evening gown, all flowy and long versus short and boxy.

  38. ctkat1 says:

    @Spinner: you nailed it. She’s gorgeous in film, but in still photography her features look over-large and like they’re eating her face.

    The dress is quite cute.

  39. REALIST says:

    Pretty bold for her-I kinda like it!

  40. chasingadalia says:

    I actually kinda like it.

  41. Jennifer says:

    @insidescoop she is in Australia to promote the movie and at the moment it is pretty darn HOT

  42. Kath says:

    In the first pic, her head looks pasted onto someone else’s body.

    She’s lovely, but I hate that dress.

  43. sauvage says:

    Just like yesterday: the dress is a bit too short.
