Anne Hathaway turned heads at the Ralph Lauren Collection Fall 2025 fashion show with a bold new hairstyle that marked a clear shift from her usual soft updos and loose ponytails.
The Oscar-winning actress, known for favoring gentle, face-framing styles, surprised fans by wearing a sleek, high ponytail that sharply contrasted her usual aesthetic. The look was polished and tight, with her glossy brunette hair pulled back cleanly and wrapped at the base, hiding any sign of an elastic. The ponytail itself fell in loose waves down her back.
Hathaway joined stars like Michelle Williams and Naomi Watts in the front row of the show, with all three wearing neutral shades like beige, brown, and taupe. Hathaway stood out in sparkly, ripped pants, a white T-shirt, and a khaki trench coat, accessorized with a chunky gold choker and hoop earrings—clearly visible thanks to her pulled-back hair.
Her makeup matched the natural palette of the collection. She wore a rosy-brown lip and brown eye shadow that extended upward, mirroring the angle of her ponytail and adding to the lifted look.
While Hathaway may return to her signature relaxed styles off the runway, her tightly styled ponytail proved she can easily pull off a more structured look. For a night, at least, she embraced the power of a dramatic change—and it paid off.
