She got emotional while discussing the audience's positive reaction to the film. "We really made this movie for everyone, and to feel everyone love it?

2023: She Came To Me

Mike Marsland//Getty ImagesAfter several years of virtual premieres (she hosted her own very glam virtual red carpet for her film The Witches in 2020!), Anne stepped out in a white two-piece Armani Privé gown for her Cannes Film Festival debut.

2018: Ocean's 8
Jamie McCarthy//Getty ImagesThe actress wore a Jean Paul Gaultier gown to the star-studded New York premiere of Ocean's 8. Although she said her portrayal of an egotistical actress wasn't based on anyone in particular, she had a blast with the role. "To let it all go and lean into all of the ridiculous fame nonsense that I've been trying to side step for all of these years felt really fun. To play someone who had such an enormous ego and someone who takes herself so seriously and is so insufferable came very naturally to me," she joked to The Hollywood Reporter.
2016: Colossal
Jamie McCarthy//Getty ImagesColossal's ambitious premise required a bold look, and we think Anne nailed it with her vintage Armani Privé gown.

When her gown proved too difficult to sit in, she swapped it for an Oscar de la Renta dress from the 1970s.

2014: Rio 2
Gustavo Caballero//Getty ImagesPictured here in a blue and orange asymmetrical look at the Miami premiere of the animated sequel, the actress revealed that she suggested some key tweaks to her character after reading the script.

2011: One Day
Larry Busacca//Getty ImagesOkay, this one might be our favorite. At the New York premiere of One Day, Anne wore a black and gold Alexander McQueen dress.

Don Arnold//Getty ImagesIn an interview with The Guardian, Anne said the sexuality of her character scared her. "I'm much happier talking with people than I am flirting with them," she said.

2010: Alice In Wonderland
Fred Duval//Getty ImagesAnne dazzled in a brown sequined Vivienne Westwood gown and a smokey eye at the world premiere of Alice in Wonderland.
