Anne Hathaway is best known for starring in some of our favorite films, from nostalgic hits like The Princess Diaries and The Devil Wears Prada to more emotional fare like Les Misérables and One Day — but she also deserves major kudos for her red carpet looks. The actress has been consistently dazzling us at movie premieres for over 20 years now!

Through her long Hollywood career, Anne has wowed in everything from vintage couture gowns to sleek pantsuits, and we can't get enough of her style. Here are 33 photos of Anne Hathaway on the red carpet at her movie premieres, from 2024's The Idea of You to 2001's Princess Diaries.

2024: The Idea of You

Anne celebrated the New York premiere of The Idea of You in a strapless red Versace gown and a chic high ponytail. 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? I haven't had that feeling in quite the same way since The Princess Diaries," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "Now I'm 41 and I know how to appreciate it."

2023: She Came To Me

Anne is very fond of Valentino, so it's only fitting that she chose a sheer black gown from the designer to wear to the Berlin Film Festival premiere of the rom-com She Came To Me. She accessorized the look with elbow-length black gloves.

2023: Eileen

In an attempt to stay warm at the Utah-based festival, Anne paired a corseted Versace puffer with a sleek little black dress and chunky black boots. She told A-Frame that her performance in Eileen was inspired by old Alfred Hitchcock films, adding that she took additional cues from actresses like Katharine Hepburn, Monica Vitti and Patricia Neal.

After 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. "I noticed that a lot of my favorite actresses had their first experience [at Cannes] wearing all white," she told People. "So that was what I did."

2020: The Last Thing He Wanted

In The Last Thing He Wanted, a political thriller based on a novel by Joan Didion, Anne plays a reporter who gets caught up in a government conspiracy in Central America. For the film's Sundance premiere, Anne opted for a printed dress and a Western-inspired belt.

2019: The Hustle

Anne's love for the "female buddy comedy" lived on a decade after Bride Wars with The Hustle, a remake of the 1988 film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Pictured here in a beaded Elie Saab jumpsuit at the premiere, she told The Hollywood Reporter that joining the project was an easy decision because she had long wanted to work with co-star Rebel Wilson.

Five years after they teamed up in Interstellar, Anne reunited with Matthew McConaughey for Serenity, a thriller about a boat captain whose ex-wife enlists him to murder her new husband. For the film's premiere, Anne paired a flowy patterned skirt and a sleek black turtleneck with a bold lip.

2018: Ocean's 8

The 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

Colossal's ambitious premise required a bold look, and we think Anne nailed it with her vintage Armani Privé gown. She told Vogue that she had decided to wear a mix of archival and vintage pieces for the film's press tour in an effort to minimize her consumption. When her gown proved too difficult to sit in, she swapped it for an Oscar de la Renta dress from the 1970s.

The Alice: Through The Looking Glass premiere marked Anne's first red carpet appearance after giving birth. She chose a custom Christopher Kane gown to mark the occasion. "You should have seen me arrive," she joked on Ellen. "I'm like in my sweats and hair out to here, I've got the kid under one arm, like there's a dress right? There's grooming? Oh thank goodness."

2015: The Intern

Posing here in a one-shoulder gown at the New York premiere, Anne told Variety that she chose to audition for The Intern for one very sweet reason: She knew her in-laws would love to see her star in a Nancy Meyers film! She also revealed that she had auditioned for several of movies written by Meyers prior to landing the role of a fashion start-up CEO alongside none other than Robert De Niro. Third time's a charm!

2014: Interstellar

Oh! Another one that's vying for the title of our favorite. Anne's midnight blue Richard Nicoll gown echoed Interstellar's out of this world themes. At the Los Angeles premiere, she told Variety that viewers could expect to "have their minds bent and their hearts opened" by the film.

Pictured 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. "She's not a person, she's a cartoon 1950s housewife," she told CBS News. "We went back in and the story became a lot more about the inherent compromise in marriage and making each other happy and making choices for your family."

2014: Song One

Anne pulled double duty at the premiere of Song One: In addition to starring in the film, she produced it alongside her husband Adam Schulman. In an interview on Today, she revealed that she initially had no plans to star in the film until she realized that she "had a crush on her character." In order to make it work, screenwriters decided to "age up" the character.

2012: Les Misérables

Later that year, Anne wowed in a Tom Ford ensemble complete with a dramatic slit and elaborate heels. Anne told Entertainment Weekly that performing the song "I Dreamed A Dream" in the film "was like splitting yourself open, and not as much being naked as letting your innards be seen." To no one's surprise, she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her turn as Fantine.

The A-list actress made sure to show off the details on the back of her white Prabal Gurung gown at the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, where she flaunted her pixie ahead of her role in Les Misérables. "You know how you have those jobs and you just go, 'I don't know how I'm going to work again because this was such fun,'" she told Variety about her experience working with director Christopher Nolan.

2011: One Day

Okay, this one might be our favorite. At the New York premiere of One Day, Anne wore a black and gold Alexander McQueen dress. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she compared her character to a butterfly. "Butterflies go through a horrific transformation process," she said. "It's enormously painful for them in the cocoon, but at the end they emerge and they're changed and beautiful."

2011: Rio

Perhaps Anne was inspired by the blue macaw she voiced in Rio while choosing her premiere outfit? She finished the look with a pair of playful black-rimmed glasses.

2010: Love and Other Drugs

In 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. "I'm pretty shy and not entirely comfortable with the kind of attention you get when you focus on your sexual side. I was afraid that I couldn't pull off playing Maggie." Not only did she pull off the role, but she stunned on the red carpet in a sequin shift and landed a Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal!

2010: Alice In Wonderland

Anne dazzled in a brown sequined Vivienne Westwood gown and a smokey eye at the world premiere of Alice in Wonderland. We'd like to think the eye makeup was a nod to her character, the White Queen, who she described as a "punk rock vegan pacifist" who "really likes the dark side."
