Has Anne Hathaway attended Met Gala before?

Anne Hathaway's recent viral appearance appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art marked her ninth Met Gala. She attended Met Gala for the first time in 2009.

It was indeed a daring look that set the tone for Anne’s many Met Gala outings that happened later.

What's Anne Hathaway's off-duty vibe like?

Anne was recently named World’s Most Beautiful by People. Agreed, Anne's red carpet style is totally flawless, but she recently told People that when she’s off-duty, her vibe is laid-back. “I’m a tomboy!” she told People. “I love that being a boy mom has really informed my fashion. I have to always be able to go from a serious business meeting to, like, a basketball court. Dress wisely because you 100 percent are going to have a projectile thrown at you probably before the end of breakfast," she added.

Anne gets real about her packed 2026 schedule

In her recent interaction with Vogue, the Oscar winner was asked how she’s navigating a “whirlwind” of a year which has several releases lined up. “My thing about it is, like when you get a little bit tired, I’m like, ‘Do you like the reason that you’re tired?’ And I appreciate it because I’m sure some people don’t love the reason that they’re tired,” she said. “And I’m really into the reason that I’m tired. And it’s not going to be this way forever, so I don’t want to miss it. And I’ll sleep eventually," she added.
