Cinema VinesAnne Hathaway, who is 43 and expecting her third child, faced a wave of online criticism after she was photographed flaunting her baby bump at the Los Angeles premiere of her new film, The End of Oak Street. The actress, who has been roughly four to five months pregnant, was seen in a halter top and low‑rise jeans, a look that quickly became a talking point among fans and detractors alike.
Despite the attention, some netizens went as far as to label Hathaway’s pregnancy as “fake.” The actress chose to address the accusations head‑on by posting a behind‑the‑scenes video on Instagram. In the clip, she is shown getting her makeup and hair done before heading to the outdoor event, with a 95‑degree forecast in the backdrop. Her stylist, Erin Walsh, later described the ensemble as “serving supernova mama energy.”
Hathaway’s Instagram caption read, “Fake hair, real bump,” a playful jab at the trolls. The video also highlighted her custom Atelier Prabal Gurung halter top, described as a “sculptural high‑low” piece in celestial‑blue and vivid‑crimson silk Mikado, paired with La Ligne jeans.
Beyond the fashion, Hathaway shared her personal journey with pregnancy at 43. She told Access Hollywood that she was pleasantly surprised to learn she was pregnant again, noting that the odds at her age are “1 per cent to 2 per cent.” She added that the couple had decided to see where life took them, keeping a realistic yet hopeful outlook. In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, she described maternity fashion as “really really fun” and emphasized enjoying the fleeting nature of the pregnancy.
Hathaway is already a mother of two—Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6—alongside her husband Adam Shulman. The couple’s growing family is a source of joy for the actress, who has expressed gratitude for the experience. Meanwhile, her film career continues to flourish, with her latest work in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and upcoming projects including the erotic thriller Verity and the war drama Alone at Dawn.
