Anne Hathaway turned a casual book run into a style thesis—gold lamé, flared Celine denim, and Bulgari serpents slinking through spring’s quiet luxury moment.
Anne Hathaway’s April 28, 2025 outing in New York City wasn’t just a stroll—it was a sartorial flex. Spotted browsing Westsider Books, the actress fused retro Americana with high-gloss futurism, proving that even book shopping can be a runway moment.
Styled by Erin Walsh, Hathaway wore Celine Large Flared Jeans, a silhouette that nodded to 1970s counterculture but felt distinctly 2025 in its crisp tailoring. Over it, she layered the Christopher John Rogers x J.Crew Barn Jacket in Gold Lamé, a sold-out piece from the CFDA winner’s capsule collection that reimagines chorewear as disco armor. The jacket’s metallic sheen caught the spring light like a paparazzi flash—subtle it was not.
Peeking beneath the lamé was the Khaite Nora Cardigan, a black cropped knit that added softness and structure. Hathaway’s accessories, however, were pure Bulgari bravado:
- Serpenti Sugarloaf Medium Leather Shoulder Bag in antique gold calfskin, featuring the signature snakehead clasp
- B.Zero1 Square-Frame Sunglasses, black acetate with gray lenses
- Serpenti Viper Ring and Earrings, both in 18k white gold with pavé diamonds
- Serpenti Tubogas Watch, a coiled rose gold and steel timepiece with a pear-shaped face
The synergy was unmistakable: serpentine motifs slinking through lamé folds, flared denim grounding the look in urban cool. Her hair was pulled back in a low ponytail, makeup minimal, and her posture—book tote in one hand, shoulder bag in the other—was relaxed but composed.
Is this the new uniform for off-duty glamour? Or just Anne Hathaway reminding us that quiet luxury doesn’t mean boring?
