Anne Hathaway Delivers the Unexpected in Daring Look at Idea of You Premiere in N.Y.C.

The actress brought major style drama to the red carpet on April 29

Anne Hathaway’s not done flaunting her style sense yet. 

After making three high-fashion outfit changes in the span of one day, the Oscar-winning actress, 41, served even more glamour at the Idea of You premiere at the Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City on April 29. 

The film’s leading lady had all eyes on her while posing on the red carpet in a red, form-fitting gown. 

Her head-turning number featured a structured bandeau styled dress with cutouts just under her bust line. Paneling along the sides and middle in both the front and back gave the design added depth.

Hathaway went for silver jewelry — a pair of drop earrings with green accents, and silver rings on both hands. She chose to keep her makeup minimal with bold eyeliner and a shiny nude lip. 

She wore her hair pinned up in a flirty ponytail with bangs falling at her brows.

Hathaway’s style streak started on April 28, when she stepped out for a special screening for the romantic comedy in an all-leather look by Ralph Lauren. She proved to be somewhat of a superwoman with her ability to wear not one, not two, but three leather pieces in N.Y.C.’s hot spring temperatures, which reached nearly 80 degrees over the weekend.

Before the premiere, she was seen out and about in monochromatic looks. First, she wore a white Patou ensemble complete with a minidress, a cropped jacket and handbag. Hathaway also rocked the label in the form of an embellished minidress at the Idea of You premiere at SXSW. 

Later in the day, she transformed into an urban mermaid in an aquamarine blue Simkhai look featuring a tank top and skirt with sheer panels.

Hathaway’s role as Soléne in The Idea of You, which she also produced, is, in her words, “adventurous,” just like her style (in case you don't know, the movie follows the love story between Soléne and Hayes [Nicholas Galitzine], a boy band member nearly two decades her junior).

“In the beginning of the film, the character...she's really scared of going on that adventure because she's had such a rough experience with her ex-husband. And so to me, I was incredibly moved by the opportunity to tell the story of a woman blooming,” Hathaway told PEOPLE at the Austin, Texas, film festival in March. 

Galitzine previously told PEOPLE that the chemistry read between him and Hathaway was “transformative" too and that the two had clicked from the jump. “I think it was really at that moment that we kind of knew that there was a connection — that there was a chemistry there and it was so much fun in that audition, which is rare to say."

The Idea of You is set to be released on Prime Video on May 2.
