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 always thought her features were too big and exaggerated. All of them, her eyes, her nose, her mouth. If she had a bigger head, I feel like her face would make more sense.

Then again, there’s stuff about me that I’d love to see changed, and I’m sure everyone feels that way about themselves. So who are we to talk?

I think sometimes she looks good and sometimes she looks like a clown. For some reason my boyfriend thinks she’s hot…i don’t see it. She has a unique look to her that makes her kind of pretty that way, and I’m glad she doesn’t try to distort herself with plastic surgery like Heidi Montag.

Try Catholicism again. It will at least beautify your inner self, but you are right, you are not physically pretty.

You are not weird, you are unique and very beautiful at that. It is refreshing to see someone as beautiful and charismatic as you on any magazine cover. You have amazing facial features that any man would find appealing, do not sell yourself short. Keep smiling hon.

Heidi Montag could stand to read this article a few times…

I think she is beautiful. As for those who agree and say she isn’t – jealous?

She is definitely pretty! I don’t understand why some don’t find her attractive, probably jealousy. She has gorgeous features that stand out and she is so stunning.
