Everyone may be in Cannes right now, but Anne Hathaway is making us think that Rome is actually the place to be. Today in the Italian capital, the actor stepped out of the Bulgari Hotel decked out in the brand’s jewelry.
But it was Hathaway’s outfit that caught our eyes for its nod to a classic, oft-referenced film: Risky Business. Hathaway wore a custom Gap sleeveless white maxi shirtdress by Gap Inc. creative director Zac Posen, left mostly unbuttoned to create a thigh-high slit. Styled in a state of undress, the collar folded over to reveal a white corset bodice, giving the look a sexy, rolled-out-of-bed touch.
Naturally, the look was a far more elevated version of Tom Cruise’s character’s signature look. In lieu of his famous white socks, Hathaway wore a pair of white pointy-toe pumps. But perhaps the most stark level up was the formidable Bulgari jewelry. She accessorized with a diamond necklace with an enormous sapphire center stone sitting atop her collarbone, a diamond Serpenti bracelet and diamond earrings.
With this extreme approach to high-low dressing, Anne Hathaway took a risk that definitely paid off in our book.
