Double denim doesn’t have to be casual. Just ask Anne Hathaway, who gave the girl next door’s go-to a hit of uptown glamour in New York this week. The actor, currently on the promo trail for her film Armageddon Time, chose wide-leg jeans and a matching tailored jacket in dark wash denim, from Nili Lotan’s Resort 2023 collection for an appearance on The View. She might have been wearing jeans, but from the tips of her Gianvito Rossi pumps to the top of her teased bouffant, Anne was the picture of polish.

Not only that, she threw a crop top into the mix too, along with the chain pouch from Victoria Beckham’s new line of handbags. That sliver of exposed torso is just the latest in a series of style curveballs from Hathaway, a self-confessed coastal grandma not known for pushing the envelope on the red carpet in the past. But this week alone, we’ve seen her in a Christopher John Rogers power blazer, full-look Valentino couture, and a neon yellow off-the-shoulder number from every party girl’s favourite London brand, David Koma.
Perhaps Anne’s recent appearance at New York Fashion Week (when she sat on the front row at Michael Kors wearing an outfit that could have been lifted straight from her The Devil Wears Prada wardrobe, next to Anna Wintour) was no coincidence. She looks increasingly like a woman who’s ready to embrace a more playful style chapter.
