Anne Hathaway switched on by Gen Z’s style

Anne Hathaway’s struggle with fashion in the past

The 40-year-old conveyed just how lost she used to be with her fashion sense because she wasn’t aware she could experiment with different styles, and had to stick to one. She continued, “And that’s part of the reason why I love being an actor, and my style is fluid. And once I realized that then I felt like something clicked. But that’s just me. It’s different. Some people are like, ‘Nope, black turtleneck every day.'” Hathaway unveiled her strong inclination toward “loyalty and longevity,” mentioning that some of her team members responsible for crafting her enjoyable and impeccable looks have collaborated with her for “decades.”

Meanwhile, the actress confessed that due to her fast-paced life, she often goes for a more casual look in her day-to-day life.
