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

I agree with Kristen, she is just saying that to appear humble and get a bunch of compliments. I highly doubt she feels this way. Plus, she is right, she isn’t beautiful. And apart from cosmetic surgery, how would anyone not look like themself? It makes no sense Anne! Of course you look like you. There is no way around it!

Chelsie on

Is that the same Dress Sandra Bullock wore at the awards ceremony?

Cheryl on

Anne Hathaway is beautiful! I can’t believe she would think such a thing. Please Anne don’t change.

sasha on

No, she’s not very pretty, she’s cute. And damn girl get a spray tan already.

Julie on

May all the young women find inspiration in her instead of some (ahem) of the sicker shallower women out there who think they need lots and lots of surgery to be “themselves”

chrystal on

she’s one of the prettiest actresses i’ve seen. how can she say she’s not very pretty??

cameron on

she isnt pretty…

Jane on

She seems very honest. Actually, I don’t find her that pretty either. She has a very long face and very big eyes. But why everybody have to be pretty? Everybody is pretty in their own way.

gus on

i agree, she’s unattractive and has a clownish face. and those eyebrows are still way too thick…

marianna on

her big eyes and pouty/wide lips are very pretty, but i agree that her face is too small for those big beautiful features..sometimes she can look clownish
