Let’s compare, shall we: Anne Hathaway in 2013. Her hair was bleached, her Valentino gown was sheer and plumed with ostrich feathers, and she wore a handful of edgy rings. Flash forward to this year, those brunette locks had returned, an elegant red Calvin Klein dress showed only the most demure hints of skin, and her diamond Vhernier earrings elegantly dust her shoulders. Don’t blame Anne, blame Anna (or thank, as the case may be).
With a distinctively contrarian theme from Punk: Chaos to Couture, we anticipated polar opposite red carpet looks at this year’s Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which paid tribute to Charles James. But in some cases, the side-by-sides go beyond night and day into a whole different century. Anne Hathaway 2014, meet Anne Hathaway 2013. Diane Kruger, say hello to your little punk friend. See all the stars who went from rocking the red carpet to gently promenading down it.
