The expectant actress sparked speculation after baring her baby bump at the premiere of “The End of Oak Street.”
Anne Hathaway might be an Academy Award winner, but her pregnancy is no act.
The actress turned heads at Sunday’s premiere of The End of Oak Street, proudly showing off her baby bump in a halter top and low-rise jeans. Inexplicably, the look sparked speculation online, as a staggering number of trolls questioned if Hathaway’s pregnant belly was actually real.
“I’m sorry but that looks fake,” one TikTok user commented on a video of the actress posing on the red carpet. “That was my immediate reaction too,” agreed another.
Hathaway, who’s expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman, responded to the speculation on Monday, taking her 44 million Instagram followers behind the scenes as she got ready for the Los Angeles premiere.
“Fake hair, real bump,” she captioned the video, which shows Hathaway’s team prepping her for the outdoor event and its 95-degree summer forecast. As a stylist swept her brunette locks up into a voluminous ponytail, she mouthed to the camera, “It’s not my hair.”
In the next clip, Hathaway revealed the final look: “a custom Atelier Prabal Gurung sculptural high-low halter top with a cascading train, crafted in celestial-blue and vivid-crimson silk Mikado,” worn over La Ligne jeans. The combo was “serving supernova mama energy,” as Hathaway’s stylist Erin Walsh described it.
The actress was so authentic about her glam, she even included a potentially embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.
As the video followed her to The End of Oak Street’s “block party,” Hathaway was seen chatting with a group of people when a “chicken cutlet” nipple cover suddenly fell from beneath her shirt and landed on the grass momentarily before an assistant discreetly retrieved it.
“It doesn’t last forever,” she said of her baby bump, “so we’re just enjoying every moment.”
The new addition joins big brothers Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6. Hathaway was pleasantly surprised to learn she was pregnant again at 43, she told Access Hollywood at the New York premiere of The Odyssey.
“There’s always hope until there’s not, but when you get to a certain age, that hope looks like 1 percent to 2 percent,” she admitted. “So we just decided to see where life took us, with a very, very healthy, realistic expectation, which was very low… We’re overjoyed, because we just know from personal experience that not everybody gets this.”
