Anne Hathaway Looks Back On Her Most Iconic Movie Costumes | Vogue Australia

I'm just, I'm just, I can't. Do the kids still say I'm gagged? Well, if they do, I'm gagged that I'm in this movie. Hi Vogue Australia, I'm Anne Hathaway and we're gonna be looking back at what you have chosen as my most iconic movie costumes. Oh, hi Ella. I worked really hard on that split. This is Ella Enchanted. This costume was designed by Ruth Myers who was just such a love. I met her on Nicholas Nickleby and when Tommy O'Haver, the director of Ella Enchanted asked if I had any costume designers I love to work with, I mentioned her and she just like created this whole beautiful fantasy world. She chose all of the blues that I wore in the movie really, really carefully and she was just an absolute, absolute dream to work with, total icon. Yay. This is Princess Mia in the Princess Diaries one in her school uniform wearing her gray bucket hat after her hair transformation, which she doesn't know how to feel about yet and then of course she reveals it and then I think Lily says, you know, what Voltaire hair? I would personally like to learn about Voltaire. Amazing line reading by Heather Matarazzo. Love that, love the memories, beautiful. Oh, okay, Princess Diaries two. It's so cute. I love a hat. I think the iconic thing about this particular look is Chris Pine because Chris Pine made his, I think it was his movie debut in this part and that man is wearing the heck out of that suit so I think this one is iconic because of Chris. I love that one so much. I think that is one of the most timeless costumes I've ever gotten to wear. Working with Patricia Field on The Devil Wears Prada was life changing and there was a montage that was written into the movie. David Frankel and Florian Bauhaus, our director and cinematographer, shot the heck out of it and they had planned all these swipes and so we would need to like design outfits that would begin one way and then I would go by like a news agent or a taxi would go by and then I'd be wearing something else and yeah, I just, I loved this look. It's a lot of Chanel accessories. I wish I remembered who made the coat but working with Pat was a pure joy and I love this outfit. Daphne, Daphne Kluger, one of my favorite, favorite, favorite characters I've ever gotten to play. So this is Ocean's, oh my God, there have been so many Oceans with numbers after them. This is Ocean's 8, I did it, yay! Okay, so this is Ocean's 8, I play Daphne Kluger. She is getting ready for the Met Gala and she is wearing a really big necklace that is about to be stolen off of her body by a fabulous team of thieves led by Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett. Also, I just have to say, not pictured in that image, is Daphne's gum, which I think was one of the more iconic parts of the character. Also, I don't know if you can clearly see her extremely chunky French manicure acrylic set. I just loved it, the gum, the nails, the look, the attitude, all of it, loved it. Okay, I mean, I'm clearly not ready to let this character go. I'm sitting here in a looser fitting Chanel version of that exact costume. That's my catsuit, that's Selina Kyle. That is Christopher Nolan's Selina Kyle, which I got to play, which I still clearly am very excited about. So this costume was designed by Lindy Hemming, who is phenomenal. The catsuit took so many fittings and I think you probably needed an engineering degree, the equivalent of working at NASA to get all the parts working together, but my God, it was amazing. Once I got into it, I never wanted to get out of it. Now, the maid's outfit, this is one of my favorite costumes I've ever gotten to wear. After I steal the pearls from Bruce Wayne, I have to leave the party and the little bib and the little apron tore away. And I remember in the fitting talking to Lindy about like, wouldn't it be cool if like one went one way, one went the other way, and then I just threw them away and then suddenly she's a different person and then you have met Selina Kyle. And she really loved that. You know, there's such a lineage of women, like really, really amazing actresses who have played Catwoman. And I just, I can't believe I'm one of them. My eight-year-old self dreamed of it and my 43-year-old self still can't get over that it happened. So, very happy to see this. Sorry, I keep like, you have to understand when I do stuff like this, when I look back on my career, like so many things flood my memory all at the same time. I am the white queen in this in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. And I believe this photograph was taken by Mary Ellen Mark. And I'm holding a real mouse. And this costume was designed by Colleen Atwood, who I love, adore and worship so much. And I remember when I went to my fitting, I noticed that Colleen Atwood's safety pins were black. I don't know what they were made of, but I'd never seen them before. And I pocketed one because I just loved her so much. And I thought maybe she wouldn't miss one. And I had a necklace that I wore every day and I would kind of like add things that I picked up in my life that were meaningful. And so I had a Colleen Atwood safety pin on my necklace for a while. But I just, I loved getting to play this character. I could go on and on and on about how much fun I had doing this and what it was like to see Helena Bonham Carter play the red queen and just how much I learned just from getting to be their front row to see a brilliant actress do a truly wondrously courageous, creative performance. It really left a huge impression on me. So, love that wig too. Okay, so this is me in Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain. My character's name is Laureen. So this costume designer, Merritt Allen, my God, she was so kind to me because, you know, when you're in every scene in the movie, it's one thing to build a costume wardrobe story, but when you're a smaller character in the movie, you only have a little bit of screen time to tell as complete a story as you can. And she just talked through so many details with me. Like I remember saying to her, well, my character, she's a bit of a, you know, rodeo queen who used to be a rodeo princess. I feel like maybe for her birthday, her parents bought her some nice jewelry, like in this shape of horseshoes. And she found amazing options for me. My belt buckles were always so incredible. And she let me keep one of my pair of cowboy boots, which I still wear to this day. An interesting thing, if you notice in this picture, I am smoking. I had never smoked in my life before. And I did what I thought was smoking and Ang came in. And the way I remember it, I hope this is accurate, is that he like gave me a lesson on how to smoke. And then I went back to my hotel room and like practiced and thought, oh no, I can't do this at all. And I got addicted. And so I practiced and I got addicted to cigarettes for years. So this is the last picture of me not knowing how to smoke. So that part's not iconic. That part's just don't smoke, just don't smoke. Just take it, take it from, take it from mother. Not worth it, but still fun to do in a movie. I'm very excited about this. Okay, so this is Ellen Mirajnik designing for Christopher Nolan's, The Odyssey. I'm actually emotional looking at this because this film is coming out very soon. At the time of filming this video, I have not seen it yet. So I have actually seen very little of what it is that we made. And the reason I'm emotional is because I remember what it felt like to wear Ellen Mirajnik's costumes. And I don't wanna give too much away. I'm not allowed to. And I can't tell you what it is that you're looking at. All I can say is this is like the definition of an iconic costume. So we're just gonna have to live in the mystery and I promise I'll explain it one day. I have been in some amazing movies. Like I'm a very, very lucky and spoiled actress. This is my costume from Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, which I think is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. I play Dr. Amelia Brand. The story behind this costume was, it was very, very heavy. And it, all of the weight sat right here. And I had asked because I knew I'd be having, I would have to run in water in this costume. So I asked if I could test it out in a pool. They said, yes. So I ran one length of the pool, realized I was, my stamina needed improving. I ordered a weighted vest and I just started running for miles every day, the hills of Los Angeles to get myself in the right shape for this. So then I did. We're all up on a glacier together. The costume hurts, but I can handle it. And my one rule to myself was, you cannot be the first person to complain about this costume because you're the only girl wearing it. So if somebody else complains, then it could be a thing that you all talk about, but you're going to hold the line. And I was so happy when like four hours into the day, Matt Damon pitched for it and went, oh my God, this costume sucks. And then we could all talk about it. But it wasn't me. Anyway, brilliant film. I can't believe I'm in this film. It's so beautiful. It's so soulful. It's so cinematic. It's one of Christopher Nolan's best, and that's really saying something. I loved working with Matthew McConaughey. I just, like, I'm just, I'm just, I can't. As the kids, do the kids still say I'm gagged? Well, if they do, I'm gagged that I'm in this movie. You're mean. Bride Wars. Okay, so yeah. I had to do this shot on Fifth Avenue in real life. There were paparazzi. I, I'm going to give myself a little pat on the back. We had such fun making this movie. And one of the joyful parts of creating of this particular costume was we had to think about what color would look the absolute worst with orange. So, and we didn't know exactly how oompa loompa I was going to be until the day. And when we tried everything on, we were like, nailed it. She looks like Belle from Hell. Hell's Belle. Okay, okay, okay. This is Beena Daigler designing for David Lowery's Mother Mary. I'm so happy this film is about to be seen. It's just, in David's own words, a weird, weird movie. But it is so beautiful. And in it, I play a pop star named Mother Mary. So Beena, David, and I had to create the looks for a pop star who has had a career for 20 years. It was an exhaustive, intense, transformative, gorgeous process that I think I mentioned went on for years and years and years and years. And I just think Beena has created something so masterful and beautiful. And I'm not even sure I totally understand the brilliance of it yet. But a few times I felt really transformed and enhanced by the costume director's work. The costume director's work actually was communicating so much of the character that it made my lift and my contributions actually feel so much lighter because I knew that I was standing inside something that had been constructed with so much care and ingenuity and creativity. And that's never been true more so than with Mother Mary. So I know I'm rambling a little bit. Thank you very much. But I'm still in this one. It hasn't come out yet, but it's about to. And it's just a lot. It's been a lot, a lot. I just think that that gold lame is serving right now. And I always will. Oh my gosh, it took me a second to remember what this one is. Okay, so this is becoming Jane. I don't know whether or not I was the right choice to play Jane Austen. I don't know that my English accent had come in yet. And there's a lot of things about this that I don't know. I feel very lucky to have had this experience. And I must say, looking at these colors, I am such a lucky girl. I was dressed with so much care. And it meant so much to me to play Jane Austen. I was just absolutely obsessed with her books. And I just really, really, really wanted to play her. And I just, that is a really, really, really stunning costume, and I still have the boots. Vogue Australia, that was super fun. Thank you so much, and I will see you next time. Bye.
