Career & style
Anne Hathaway became widely known through The Princess Diaries in 2001. Her later roles moved between comedy, dramatic character studies and musicals: The Devil Wears Prada, Rachel Getting Married and Les Misérables reveal very different uses of performance and appearance. Her portrayal of Fantine in Les Misérables earned an Academy Award for supporting actress. These changes matter more to her career than a single screen image.
For a fashion archive, The Devil Wears Prada provides a particularly useful starting point. Clothes in that film help make workplace hierarchy and a change in self-presentation visible. The Intern revisits another fashion-related workplace from a different position. Compare these fictional wardrobes with festival photographs carefully: a costume serves the narrative, while a public-event outfit presents the performer in a separate professional setting.
