Anne Hathaway‘s stellar red carpet style almost rivals her award-winning acting.
Yet screen star Anne couldn’t hide her dismay on Tuesday night when the ruffles of her dramatic Armani Prive vintage gown prevented her from even turning her head.
The Les Miserables actress, 34, fell victim to her costume drama as she arrived for the premiere of Colossal in New York, unable to maneuver her body into her best angles for the cameras.

The New York native’s festive black gown featured tiers of ruffles and glittering tulle fabric with a cut that showed off the star’s elegant figure and beautiful back.
In addition to her dark couture, Anne carried a boxy mirrored clutch as her sole accessory for the evening, forgoing diamond earrings or glittering rings.
She and stylist Penny Lovell chose the piece from Armani Prive’s Spring 2006 collection to make a statement about wearing sustainable fashion.
Convinced that turning heads would have been the outcome for the outfit, she could never have anticipated that turning her head would be an issue.
The Devil Wears Prada actress styled her hair into a simple updo while focusing her beauty look on flushed cheeks and fluttering eyelashes.
