Anne Hathaway Stuns in Baby Blue Gown at ‘The Odyssey’ Premiere
Pregnancy announcements from major stars often create a brief viral moment before being overshadowed by the busy press cycle. However, Anne Hathaway had different plans, transforming her entire promotional run for Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ into a celebration of her growing family.
The actress began with a New York City press tour, showcasing a variety of striking maternity looks, from an all-black ensemble with Dior accessories to a bold all-red outfit at a press junket. Each appearance heightened anticipation for her choice at the film’s most significant event, the world premiere.
That moment arrived on Monday night in London, where Hathaway dazzled on the red carpet in a strapless baby blue Dior gown, gently resting her hand on her baby bump as she smiled for the cameras. The dress featured an empire waist with soft pleats from top to hem, complemented by Bvlgari jewels and a blue floral detail at the waistline, tailored to flatter her pregnancy.
Photographers captured her mid-laugh multiple times throughout the evening, solidifying the look as one of the standout fashion moments of the event. This appearance followed a press tour that included a flowing white off-the-shoulder Blumarine gown at the film’s photocall just a day prior.
Hathaway announced she was expecting her third child about two weeks before the premiere, sharing the news in a short Instagram video instead of a traditional statement. The clip featured her walking into frame in a flowing white gown, set to Barbara Lewis’ “Baby, I’m Yours,” before revealing her bump with a smile and captioning the post simply, “x Baby, I’m yours x.”
The actress and her husband Adam Shulman, who have been married since 2012, are already parents to two sons. Hathaway has previously shared her journey to motherhood, openly discussing her experiences with pregnancy loss and the emotional challenges that accompanied it before the arrival of her children.
In ‘The Odyssey,’ Hathaway portrays Penelope, the queen of Ithaca, who holds her kingdom together while her husband Odysseus, played by Matt Damon, embarks on a perilous journey home from the Trojan War. There’s a poignant symmetry in an actress celebrating new motherhood while embodying one of literature’s most enduring figures of family devotion.
The premiere gathered nearly the entire cast, including Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, and Tom Holland, all present ahead of the film’s release. Amid this star-studded lineup, Hathaway’s radiant maternity look stood out as one of the evening’s most discussed fashion moments.
‘The Odyssey’ opens in theaters on July 17, offering audiences their first glimpse of Hathaway’s performance just as she prepares to welcome her third child.
