Anne Hathaway On Her “Weird Features” and Surprising Style Icons

Anne Hathaway looks as unequivocally gorgeous and radiant as ever on the March cover of InStyle—though she’s probably the only person out there who doesn’t see it: “I think I’ve got really weird features. I have very large features on a very small head,” she tells the magazine. “But, you know, I’m not going to beat myself up. It’s my face. I’m not very pretty. But that’s OK because I do know that I look like myself, and I think at the end of the day, as nice as pretty is, authenticity is more important.” The self-effacing actress continues: “If I don’t work out at all, I have too much curve and no tone—which is not OK. It’s about finding balance.” Hathaway strives for equilibrium in the way she dresses too, with her tomboy-by-day, glamazon-by-night approach: “In the evening it would never occur to me to go out in motorcycle boots like this,” she says, referring to the black Burberry pair she wore to her interview. “I love going out in high heels and dressing up and glamming it up, and having there be a distinction between what happened throughout the day and the evening.” As to where she finds style inspiration, the 27 year-old, who calls out Marc Jacobs as one of her “all-time favorite designers,” has a long list of Hollywood peers who demonstrate “innovation and originality,” including Tilda Swinton, Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga, Selma Blair, and Natalie Portman, and says: “I like people who are true to themselves.” The March issue of InStyle hits stands this Friday, and for more on Anne in the meantime, visit instyle.com. – Emily Hsieh

what? if you aren’t pretty, then the rest of us are what? Toads? Common, go get yourself some self esteem and appreciate what you have. Set some good ol’ examples for the younger girls. We are worth it.

Anne, beauty is only skin deep. You are lovely. Ladies, there are really snarky remarks there, ok, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I agree with that,but……………….
Anyway, Happy Valentines Day everyone.

I’m glad she knows the truth. She looks like an alien to me! Her head IS too small and her eyes and mouth ARE too big. All you people who think she’s this “beauty” are like the parents of REALLY bad American Idol contestants. The truth sometimes hurts, but living a lie makes you a ridiculous human being. I have WAY more respect for her now! Thank you Anne for your honesty!

I’ve thought the same about her too, but she is still definitely prettier than half of the female population so that can’t be bad! Some day she will look back on this age that she is at now and think that she really WAS pretty, that’s cause all beauty fades and the time to appreciate yourself is when you are young and at your best. Delta Burke comes to mind when she talked about her weight struggles later in life and how she always thought that she was “fat” as a young woman even when she really wasn’t. She said, “now I look back on those pictures and think I was a GODDESS!!”
