Anne Hathaway, recognized for her appearances in haute couture from Valentino to Versace, took a surprising turn in fashion recently. On May 20, the 41-year-old actress dazzled in a chic white cotton dress from an unexpected source: Gap, the American heritage brand. The garment radiated luxury to such an extent that fans were taken aback when they discovered Gap as the designer. This revelation sparked a frenzy across numerous websites, with headlines racing to share the news. Initially thought to be a custom creation by Gap’s creative director Zac Posen for Anne Hathaway’s exclusive use, it’s now accessible to fashion enthusiasts worldwide through preorders on gap.com – but only for those quick enough to act.
Posen expressed his excitement about redesigning Gap’s classic white shirt into a custom shirtdress, emphasizing its homage to Audrey Hepburn’s elegance in “Roman Holiday.” For the red carpet, celebrity stylist Erin Walsh paired the dress with a white corset and matching shorts, adding flair with white Christian Louboutin pumps and statement Bulgari jewels. Whether dressed up with similar elegance or toned down with sandals or trendy sneakers, this dress is undoubtedly a summer essential worth coveting.
Not only has Gap garnered attention for Anne Hathaway’s dress, but also for its latest partnership with LA-based label Dôen. The collection, now accessible, features wardrobe staples reinvented through Dôen’s feminine perspective.
