NEW YORK, NEW YORK: Anne Hathaway may have dazzled in a custom Carolina Herrera dress at the 2025 Met Gala, but it was her remarkably youthful face, not just the fashion, that stole the spotlight.

The 42-year-old actress appeared virtually wrinkle-free while walking the midnight blue carpet, reigniting long-standing rumors of cosmetic enhancements, as per the Daily Mail.

Anne Hathaway on her Met Gala 2025 look

Back in July 1981, Andre Leon Talley made fashion history as the first journalist to interview Carolina Herrera after she debuted her now-iconic label in Interview magazine.

Fast forward to the 2025 Met Gala — Anne Hathaway paid tribute to that enduring connection, wearing a look crafted by Carolina Herrera’s creative director, Wes Gordon, that captures the spirit of Herrera and Talley’s decades-long friendship.

Her outfit featured a crisp white shirt (a befitting nod to Herrera), a studded, striped column skirt, and a statement Bulgari necklace adorned with a massive sugarloaf sapphire. 

Hathaway shared how Talley deeply influenced her look in a red carpet interview with Vogue, saying, "We wanted something tailored, something glamorous, something grand... but really our approach tonight was we wanted to make Andre Leon Talley scream in heaven. We wanted him to scream, 'Gamour.'" 

Internet can't help but point out Anne Hathaway's smooth face

Social media users quickly pointed out the smoothness of her forehead and the tightness of her features in the comments section of the video shared by Vogue

One wrote, “She looks young,” while another said, “She looks the same age as when she discovered she was Mia Thermopolis,” referring to her 2001 film, 'The Princess Diaries'. 

Others speculated about more than just good genetics or skincare, with one writing, “Whoa she really got some obvious work done on her upper face. Maybe brow lift. She’s trying to distract/cover up with pulled back hair.”

“Weird how the upper half of her forehead doesn’t move, but the lower half does,” another comment read, whereas someone else declared, “Her plastic surgeon is top tier,” and an individual echoed, “She’s so gorgeous like I wanna know her secret doctor.”

One more wrote, "When is he gonna ask 'who is your surgeon'? I’d like to know how much $$$ I need to rob for an appointment." 

Experts weigh in on Anne Hathaway's virtually wrinkle-free face

Though Anne Hathaway has never publicly confirmed undergoing cosmetic procedures, plastic surgeons and dermatologists continue to weigh in.

Experts suggest her flawless glow could be the result of Botox, microneedling, jawline contouring, or even a rhinoplasty, procedures that the actress has never directly addressed.

Hathaway, who has credited her mother for instilling sun-safe habits early on, follows a daily routine including SPF, face massages, hydration masks, and antioxidant serums. The mother of two has also sworn off alcohol since 2019.
