Anne Hathaway has been named World’s Most Beautiful Star 2026 by People magazine, marking another milestone in her long-standing Hollywood journey.
Alongside a glamorous cover photo shoot, the actor opened up about her most memorable roles, working with acclaimed co-stars, and the changing way body image and performance are discussed in the industry today.
Reflecting on The Devil Wears Prada, Hathaway said the film remains one of her most cherished experiences despite the pressure surrounding it.
She also spoke warmly about her co-stars, sharing her admiration for Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.
The sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is set to release on May 1, and Hathaway also revisited her experience during The Dark Knight Rises promotions in 2012, when she played Catwoman.
She addressed the kind of questions she received about her body transformation, recalling discomfort with how the focus often shifted to weight loss rather than performance and preparation.
Hathaway emphasized that director Christopher Nolan had emphasized strength and stunt readiness over appearance, and she felt the public narrative often missed that intent.
