Anne Hathaway pairs Gucci with glasses

I know that Anne Hathaway seems to be one of those actress of whom many people seem to have a strong and irrational hatred, but I love her. Yes, even after the terrible Oscars hosting gig this year. I don’t know why, but she just seems like she would be smart and charming in person; she’s the kind of girl who I’d want to have a cocktail with. That she showed up to the Rio premiere wearing glasses on the red carpet only makes me love her more.

I’m a glasses-wearer myself, and mine are also of the nerdy, plastic-framed variety. I love them. I have contacts and rarely choose to wear them, even for a night out – my glasses are another fun accessory, just like my bag or jewelry, and I never give up the chance to add an accessory to my outfit. It’s rare that we see an actress don her glasses on the red carpet, let alone a young celebrity, and Anne does a fine job of rocking hers with a purple Gucci cocktail dress and matching purple velvet Gucci sandals. Hopefully her bold move will inspire other stars to bring out their specks.

The dress is interesting…seems like she wore the glasses to take some of the “dressiness” away from her garb…a sort of, “I dont take myself so serious” kind of way…if that wasn’t the case then I’m truly confused by this outfit…

I agree with the above – not sure if it really works or not. I like the dress and shoes but with the glasses? Not really working.

I think she looks awesome. I’ve loved Anne since The Princess Diaries, and as another glasses wearing girl I like to see a celeb rocking them with an adorable outfit.

I don’t understand what is going on here. Her hair and toes say, “Day at the beach.” The dress says, ” Ivanna Trump.” Love the glasses.

Like the dress. Like the shoes. Don’t like them together.
Hate the glasses. They are too big for her face.
