Anne Hathaway is bringing the dark character of Verity Crawford to the red carpet.
The "Verity" actress, who is pregnant with her third child, joined co-stars Josh Hartnett and Dakota Johnson at the film's
New York premiere on Tuesday, Sept. 28.
For the red carpet event, Hathaway went for a dark glam look in a black Atelier Prabal Gurung gown featuring a strapless sweetheart bodice and form-fitting mermaid silhouette that showcased the star's growing baby bump. The chiffon floral and crystal-embellished gown also featured a sparkling tulle train that extended from the bodice like a cape.
The "Devil Wears Prada" star topped off the elegant look with a slicked-back, '60s-inspired bouffant hairstyle accessorized with a lacquered black beret at the top of her hand. She added some extra sparkle with teardrop diamond earrings.
In a busy year of red carpet premieres, Hathaway has displayed a streak of stunning maternity style looks, and it is not the first time she has turned to Gurung for a show-stopping look.
For the California premiere of "The End of Oak Street" in August, the actress sported another Gurung creation that captivated the internet. The look featured a satin baby-blue mock-neck top featuring a midriff hem that perfectly framed her bump, and a flowing cloak train paired with low-rise baggy jeans.
While the star received a lot of praise for the statement-making look, it also sparked internet chatter about whether or not her baby bump was real.
"What in the AI belly is going on here?!" an Instagram user commented on a post of Hathaway's red carpet ensemble.
"It looks fake," one Instagram user wrote, while another said, "I'm sorry, but it looks like a pregnancy suit, especially where her jeans go low."
Addressing the rumors, Hathaway later shared a video of herself getting ready for the "The End of Oak Street" premiere, cleverly captioning her Instagram reel: "Fake hair, real bump. Enjoy The @endofoakstreet Block Party chaos with me as my outfit literally melts in the heat!!"
