One Day comes out today. Are you going to see it? I’m debating it. I read the book and hated the last third of the story, and from what I can see, the movie is going to be much, much worse. But I still might see it just because I’m in the mood for a romance. Anne Hathaway has been all over the place this week to promote the movie, and much of it has been meh. I like Anne quite a bit, but she’s one of those people where a little goes a long way. She was on The Daily Show last night – these photos are from outside TDS’s studio, and I want her pants. Badly. Her bit with Jon Stewart was so boring, I don’t even care enough to find the video. Meh.

But here’s something interesting – Anne talking about the Duchess of Cambridge! I didn’t even consider the possibility that Anne could be pro-Kate, but she is. Anne seems to like Duchess Kate mostly for her covered-up, ladylike styles:

Vivienne Westwood may have called Kate Middleton “ordinary” this week but the Duchess has another famous face in her corner: Anne Hathaway. Sitting down with USA TODAY’s Andrea Mandell to talk about her new movie One Day, Hathaway took a royal minute to talk about style.

“Can I tell you how grateful I am to Kate Middleton?” said Hathaway. “Because she is such an advocate for dressing like a lady. I think for a few years that kind of slightly dirty look was adopted by Hollywood – you know, the stringy hair, homeless thing. And I really tried,” she laughs, “I was like ok I’m going to give that a go. (But) it doesn’t suit me, I don’t suit it. I always looked kind of chubby.”

Today she calls Kate’s ladylike wardrobe inspiring. “I’m just very grateful to Kate Middleton for making looking appropriate really fun again,” she says. “So right now my fashion choices are all about Kate Middleton.”

Speaking of fashion, Hathaway dished on getting into Catwoman shape for Dark Knight Rises, which is currently shooting in Pittsburgh. “I had to change my body in order to achieve the shape I wanted for Catwoman,” says Hathaway, noting how each body-hugging catsuit fitting represented personal milestones.

“We fit it over the course of a few months, and every time I would target a different body part we could take off the Spanx,” she laughs. “So it’s not your traditional movie prep.”

It also meant the actress had to stock up on flats. “There’s a reason why she wears heels,” says Hathaway, but “doing stunts in heels is a little hard on your feet. Normally I live in high heels (but) I have to wear flats all day and just kind of save up all my high heel time for the catsuit.”

I think I understand what Anne is saying: Kate stands for tailoring, for clothes that fit, for not showing your tatas and your biscuit, for looking occasion-appropriate and pulled together. I will give Kate credit for that too – although if she didn’t do all of those things, she would be viewed as a royal mess. But I still don’t think Kate is particularly stylish, and I find her style more “dated” than “ladylike”.

Oooh, more photos of Anne throughout this week. Some of these styles are the opposite of ladylike and flattering. Gurl, Rachel Zoe is phoning this crap in.
