The endless saga that is Anne Hathaway‘s Oscars dress continues, and this time, it seems that we finally have an explanation as to why she made the last minute decision to ditch the Valentino dress she was set to wear on the red carpet last Sunday in favor of an ill-fitting pink Prada number.
Hours before the ceremony (where Hathaway snagged a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Fantine in “Les Misérables”), the PR team behind Valentino sent out a press release stating that she, along with Jennifer Aniston and Sally Field, would be wearing the famed designer at the biggest celebrity fashion spectacle of the year.
Needless to say, people who received the release (press, industry insiders) were baffled when she arrived in the rather unexciting Prada, and rumors flew that she changed her dress because it was too similar to Jennifer Aniston’s red Valentino or Amanda Seyfried’s lacy Alexander McQueen. Afterward, Hathaway ridiculously issued an apology, stating: “It came to my attention late Saturday night that there would be a dress worn to the Oscars that is remarkably similar to the Valentino I had intended to wear, and so I decided it was best for all involved to change my plans.”
It turns out the culprit of the dress shift was indeed due to her costar Amanda Seyfried. According to Us Weekly, Hathaway learned about the dress during an Oscar rehearsal when Seyfried showed her an iPhone photo.
“Anne was like ‘WTF?!’ … She started throwing a fit!” a source told Us Weekly, adding that Anne “never told Amanda she had to change the dress.” Still, Seyfried, 27, didn’t want to deal with Hathaway’s tirade and left the rehearsal, the source added.
The next day, Hathaway reportedly kept her hair, makeup, and styling teams waiting for hours while she figured out what to do in a state of panic.
Sounds to us like she really just should have relaxed and worn the original dress. There’s nothing wrong with two similar gowns on a red carpet.
Why did I read this? … God help us all
My sentiments exactly…SMH
psstt… it’s a fucking dress
nice to see her life priorities are nicely in place… sheesh
Remember when both actresses had boobs? Now they both look like they need a burger.
Whatever Hathaway wears won’t help her. She’s not Audrey Hepburn.
It’s only a dress, girls…don’t get so uptight about it. Anne, you should have worn the original gown and be done with it. You probably would have felt better in the long run and who’s going to remember in 2 or 3 days anyway? You said it was a different dress and you manage to always look stunning so why get all upset? Wear it and wow them! Being quiet and accepting makes you come out on top.
After having her snappers’ picture taken why would she worry about a dress.
What’s the old saying? Women get upset if someone else is wearing the same thing, and men get upset if someone else ISN’T wearing the same thing.
At least she wore a flattering pair of nipples.
No wonder that post-win group-hug w/Seyfried & another actress from the film that Hathaway did with them, as if she is the “Grande Dame”, was so friggin’ forced and artificial! It was to camouflage her anger! What a bad actress. Soooo transparent!
I use to like Anne, but now she has gotten too big for her britches!!!
She doesn’t wear britches – haven’t you been watching her limo disembarking photos?
Glenn, Who sits and watches people get out of limo’s?
i hope that this is hathaway’s biggest problem n life. seems she’d have a tad better perspective on what’s important after her difficulties of a few years back.
anyway, i guess she showed them, wearing that boring prada. !!
I cannot STAND Anne Hathaway. Anne GOAWAY please.
For such a mediocre performer, Hathaway keeps trying to grab the spotlight with her histrionics and diva-esque tantrums. Enough, Anne, no one really cares WTH you wear or what other terrible films you make.
I would like Anna Hathaway a whole lot more if she became a drug activist.
Ann Hathaway should be more concerned about that ugly haircut than a dress. Buy some extensions until it grows out. She looks like a little boy now.
I just noticed…although the top of Anne Hathaway’s dress is Ok, the bottom looks like a pillow case. Seriously…like a pillow case was sewn onto a nice top.
The Devil wears Prada? But not always underpants…
I never noticed how big her nose was until she chopped all her hair off
I like Anne Hathaway and I’m not sure why other people don’t.
It appears the Devil really does wear Prada
“nothing wrong with two similar gowns on a red carpet?”
Are you crazy?
I guess the title of this article should have read “First World Celebrity Problems”…
My sentiments exactly!!!
Stll, you’ve got to admire Ann Hathaway’s neat 2nd choice idea of going dressed as a cottage?
Amanda really looks like Dakota Fanning in this photo.
I’d say she did the honorable thing. The comments from the fashion police would have been much worse if she had knowingly worn a similar dress.
1st world problems.
I like Anne Hathaway’s dress much better. It has the class of a Vera Wang and looks to me to fit perfectly.
This Anne Hathaway hatred is really getting to me. She changed a dress! Big deal! Many stars would have done the same. Some probably would have asked Amanda to change hers. And she kept her staff waiting? Right, I’m sure NO ONE ELSE going down the red carpet kept their staff waiting that day. Let’s stop playing mean girls with Anne Hathaway, guys. Please.
If she’d have a sandwich (or two) she would be less hostile. Why does “starlets” think they must be size 0?
The “Devil” wears Prada.
I hope everybody will remember that this particular performer was very happily marching through New York streets in support of the “Occupy” movement. I guess choosing 10k gowns and employing ‘styling teams’ are non issues if your s celebrity.
Ann did the right thing. Everyone, including you compare, who wore it better, who looked better in it, blah blah blah. So it was in Ann’s best interest to change her mind and she is entitled to change her mind and wear what she wants to when she wants to. As far as who wears what the designers should not be sending out dress that looks the same, they should be different so this doesn’t occur again.! You go Ann. You get dealt tooo much crap from everyone because you’re a “lady”. I can tell you this, IF you were Angelina Jolie no one would say a word!!!.
Its a dress. No reason to get mad about it.
Decisions like these generally come down to who and who doesn’t wear the best dress, and who got it first. It’s kind of a nipple-down effe,..er, ripple down effect.
For cripe’s sake, please shut up about Anne’s dress. She won the freakin’ Oscar, so give her credit for that!
evil, evil, evil . . .
She plays one of the most tragic characters in history- you’d think she would’ve taken something away from playing that role. Guess not. It’s a dress, Anne. For god’s sake! Hollywood…SMH.
I have no problem with her changing the dress, but throwing a fit at Amanda to the point where the latter had to leave rehearsal to get away from her was childish. It wasn’t her fault. I imagine she could have cared less if Anne wore a similar dress. And I thought the pink thing looked like a bad bridesmaid’s dress.
I also thought her performance in Les Miz was overrated. But then I didn’t care much for the movie in general, other than the parts with Eddie Redmayne and his revolutionary pals.
