Anne Hathaway's Dramatic Change to Platinum Blonde Hair Includes a Divisive '90s Style Trend

On October 20, 2025, Anne Hathaway attended the 19th Annual Golden Heart Awards in New York City, making a striking appearance with long platinum blonde hair accented by dark brunette money pieces. This dramatic new look is showcased in the trailer for her upcoming film Mother Mary, where she also sports medium-length, stringy blonde hair at the start of the movie.

Throughout her career, Hathaway has become known for her remarkable on-screen hair changes. Notable examples include the fluffy full fringe in The Devil Wears Prada, micro bangs in The Idea of You, the messy pixie cut she famously debuted in Les Misrables, a sleek bob in Mothers' Instinct, and a golden-blonde bob in Eileen. Her latest transformation in Mother Mary continues this trend, presenting two distinct hair looks within the film.

The teaser begins with Hathaway arriving at a house in the rain, showing off collarbone-length, slightly unkempt blonde hair with noticeable grown-out roots. As the film progresses, her character embraces a high-energy pop persona, with her hair transitioning into long, straight platinum-blonde strands complemented by contrasting brunette money pieces, styled with a sleek middle part.

The trailer also features elaborate costume design, with Hathaways character donning a large gilded headpiece adorned with spikes and an intricately beaded bodysuit that flows into a sheer skirt. Although the film is categorized as a musical/drama by A24, the trailer reveals thriller elements, including a seance, a Ouija board, and dramatic bloody imagery.

The story follows a pop star, played by Hathaway, reconnecting with her estranged best friend and former costume designer, Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel), on the eve of a comeback performance.

Later, on October 28, 2025, Hathaway appeared at the WWD Honors in New York City, looking elegant with her signature chocolate-brown hair styled in a polished half-up, half-down fashion. She paired the look with a tiered red ruffle dress and diamond drop earrings, offering a more familiar but equally glamorous style.
