Anne Hathaway’s Mother Mary Style: Gothic Aquazzura Booties and Iris van Herpen’s “Astral” Dress

Anne Hathaway has been busy this month promoting both The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mother Mary, and her style has been just as versatile as her roles.

While she leaned into polished, high-fashion looks for The Devil Wears Prada 2 premieres, her outfits for Mother Mary took a darker, more dramatic turn that matched the film’s tone.

At the special screening of Mother Mary at Picturehouse Central, Hathaway switched things up with a more experimental look, embracing a gothic, futuristic aesthetic. She wore a striking black Iris van Herpen gown paired with Aquazzura cutout booties, creating an ethereal yet edgy look.

In the film, Hathaway plays pop star Mother Mary as she prepares for a comeback and reconnects with her estranged best friend and costume designer, leading to an emotional clash over fame and their past.

Seeing her in this look made perfect sense. It mirrored the intensity and complexity of her character while still delivering that high-fashion moment she’s known for.

Aquazzura “Romance” Booties: Velvet Cutouts With a Gothic Edge

Anne Hathaway switched things up for this look, ditching her usual sophisticated pumps for a pair of edgy cutout booties by Aquazzura.

She wore Aquazzura’s “Romance” booties, designed with a caged cutout structure made from strips of plush velvet. These boots revealed just a hint of skin, adding a sultry, slightly bold edge.

They had pointed toes with the same strappy detailing layered on top, plus a back zip for easy wear, all set on 4-inch stiletto heels that gave her extra height.

Iris van Herpen “Astral” Dress: A Skeletal, Futuristic Gown

Hathaway paired the booties with an equally striking gown from Iris van Herpen’s Spring 2020 Sensory Seas collection. The “Astral” dress featured a laser-cut black leather bodice that was handwoven to resemble a skeletal frame. It even had a slightly centipede-like pattern, thanks—or perhaps no thanks—to its intricate structure and frayed edges.

The gown’s high neckline, cold-shoulder cutouts, and sculptural keyhole opening created a controlled reveal of skin—sensual, but unmistakably otherworldly. Beneath it, a nude underlay provided coverage, though its slightly lighter tone disrupted the illusion of a seamless silhouette under flash.

From there, the design softened into motion: billowing pleated sleeves and a floor-sweeping skirt in the same textured fabric, giving the look a sense of fluidity that contrasted beautifully with the bodice’s anatomical precision.

Gothic Glam Styling: Loose Waves, Smoky Eyes & Bulgari Jewelry

Styled by Erin Walsh, Anne Hathaway kept her accessories minimal with small hoop earrings and a $5,950 Bulgari Vimini ring in 18k yellow gold.

Her loose waves, soft smoky eyes, and rosy lipstick tied everything together with a slightly gothic, modern edge.

Anne Hathaway’s Style Range Goes Beyond the Red Carpet

From Aquazzura’s cutout velvet booties to Iris van Herpen’s sculptural gown, Hathaway’s Mother Mary look captures the darker, more experimental side of her fashion playbook.

Her best style moments often work the same way: a precise shoe choice grounding a bigger cinematic mood, whether she is channeling Old Hollywood polish, modern power dressing, or full red-carpet drama.
