Anne Hathaway, 43, Puts Her Baby Bump on Full Display at 'The Odyssey' London Premiere in Custom Dior — Photos

The Oscar winner used a London red carpet to show off her growing bump, and her fans had plenty of opinions about what they saw.

Anne Hathaway, 43, stepped out on Monday, July 6, 2026, for the world premiere of "The Odyssey" in London, cradling her baby bump in a custom Dior gown. The reaction that followed proved just how closely people have been watching her every change since she first got famous.

A Cornflower Blue Gown Takes Over The Red Carpet

Hathaway wore a strapless blue gown with floral accents, letting the fabric drape over her bump rather than hide it. She kept her long hair down, added drop earrings, and finished the look with a red lip that gave the whole outfit a pop of contrast.

This is Hathaway's third pregnancy. She and her husband, Adam Shulman, are already parents to sons Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6, and the couple confirmed they are expecting again earlier this summer.

The announcement came on June 19, through an Instagram video. Hathaway wore a flowy white dress and walked into frame with her arms covering her stomach as "Baby I'm Yours" by Barbara Lewis played.

She then dropped her arms to reveal her bump, smiled, hugged her stomach, and ran off-screen. "x Baby, I'm yours x," she captioned the post.

Hathaway has been open about how motherhood changed her, both personally and professionally. In a 2022 interview, she said becoming a parent gave her a sense of grounding she had not felt before.

"I didn't feel fully landed and fully here until I was a mom," she said, adding that it pushed her to stay "completely, on every level, true to my word."

She has also said her kids reshaped her relationship with work rather than pulling her away from it. "I actually cared quite a bit more," she explained, reflecting on advice she got during her first pregnancy that her ambition might fade.

More recently, in a May 2026 Elle interview, Hathaway described her sons as being in a stage she wants to hold onto.

"We all love hanging out together, which I understand may change," she said, before laughing and adding, "our feelings about us might change." She called this period with her family the best she has had in a long time, joking that she is "having a great time as everything else burns."

Fans Cannot Agree On What Changed About Her Look

Once photos from the premiere hit social media, the comments came fast, and they were far from unanimous. On a Reddit thread, several commenters focused on how different Hathaway appeared to them.

"I don't think I've ever seen her look more beautiful. Her face looks so different but really lovely," one person wrote. Another had a theory about why. "I think her pregnancy face kicked in? Between her latest face work and the hormonal fullness, I don't think I've seen her looking quite like this before," they said.

The dress got its own share of praise. "She's almost unrecognizable but this dress and look is just stunning [sic]! What a beautiful color," one commenter added.

Someone else zeroed in on the shade itself. "She looks very different here to me, perhaps just the very dark hair? Lovely color for her and I assume they were going for statuesque draping [sic]," they shared.

Reactions on a Facebook post covering the same appearance were more split. Some commenters were not fans of the silhouette.

"Too much dress," one wrote bluntly, while another said, "Except the top looks ridiculously huge!" A third compared it to something far less glamorous. "She's wearing a shower curtain from the clearance bin at a dollar store," they wrote.

Others pushed back hard in her favor. "Gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe!!" one commenter said, and another added, "How stunning is this dress and colour, especially on her. Love cornflower blue. She looks radiant 😍💙."

A different commenter tied the two threads together, writing, "The pregnancy glow + facelift combo goes hard."

A number of people zeroed in on her face specifically. "Her new nose is working out well," one wrote, while another said, "Didn't recognize her at first as her nose looks unlike her, still very nice pictures though [sic]."

Someone else replied directly to that comment, adding, "Or the cat eye surgery. Look at years past."

Not everyone was focused on her appearance. One commenter pushed back on the criticism of her face and blamed her gown, writing:

"It's ugly all that blue fuzzy stuff in the front doesn't do her body or face justice i'll [sic] be proud of the pregnancy. Wanted to show it off. She's beautiful, intelligent, and a good actress. Top part makes it look like she's trying to hide the pregnancy instead of being proud of it. Just my opinion."

Another commenter was more torn on the dress itself but still landed somewhere positive. "I'm not loving the upper part of the dress...but no matter because the color is gorgeous and on her it's 🔥!" they wrote.

And at least one fan admitted she was simply envious, writing, "I wish I look this good pregnant 😭 I look like im fighting for my life everyday [sic]."

Between the compliments, the comparisons to her past looks, and the debate over the dress itself, no two people seemed to walk away with the same impression of Anne Hathaway. That is exactly why the photos are worth seeing for yourself, since they show far more than any single comment can capture.
