Anne Hathaway Reacts to Backward Maternity Outfit Claims
Anne Hathaway turned a potential styling error into a moment of humor, responding to fans who thought she wore her red jumpsuit backwards.
The actress is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman and was in New York promoting “The Odyssey.” For one appearance, she chose a bold red peplum jumpsuit from Ashlyn New York’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, styled by Erin Walsh. She paired it with dark sunglasses, a delicate gold necklace, and carried the look with confidence.

Shortly after, online commentary suggested the design may have been reversed. Runway images of the piece show a high neckline at the front, which indicated Hathaway had worn the back to the front.
Instead of deflecting, she addressed it directly. In a playful Instagram Reel, Hathaway shared screenshots of the headlines, then appeared on camera in another red look and deadpanned, “I did? I did… I did.”
The response landed well. Many fans said she made the outfit feel intentional, with comments like “Backward is the new forward” and praise for her willingness to laugh at herself.
The moment was one stop on a busy press run for “The Odyssey.” A day earlier, Hathaway opted for an understated all-black look with a Dior handbag and Sarah J . Maas’ ‘Crescent City” in hand.

She announced her pregnancy in June with a brief Instagram video highlighting her baby bump. She and Shulman are also parents to sons Jonathan and Jack. According to “People,” Hathaway is focused on family while preparing for the releases of “The Odyssey” and “Verity,” approaching the season with the same professionalism and ease she brought to the red jumpsuit.
