Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway turned heads at the world premiere of her upcoming sci-fi thriller, The End of Oak Street, held August 9, 2026, in Burbank, California. Hathaway, who is expecting her third child, showed off her baby bump on the red carpet in a maternity look that quickly went viral.
Wearing a custom Atelier Prabal Gurung high-low halter top in ice-blue silk with a hidden pop of crimson and a cascading train, paired with low-rise denim jeans and pink-and-red Aquazzura heels, the 43-year-old star looked radiant as she posed alongside co-stars and greeted fans outside the venue. The look was styled once again by Erin Walsh, Hathaway’s collaborator since 2019.
Red Carpet Fashion & Social Media Buzz
Hathaway’s appearance went viral across Instagram, X, and TikTok, with fashion commentators praising the daring maternity ensemble. The custom outfit’s mix of a flowing halter train, a bare midriff, and casual denim drew both admiration and some debate online over maternity red-carpet style — reaction that has followed Hathaway before, given her history of experimenting with unconventional silhouettes.
This will be the third child for Hathaway and her husband, businessman and jewelry designer Adam Shulman. The couple, married since 2012, are already parents to two sons: 10-year-old Jonathan and 6-year-old Jack. A representative confirmed the pregnancy to media outlets back in June 2026.
About ‘The End of Oak Street’
Beyond the personal milestone, the premiere celebrated the launch of The End of Oak Street, a Warner Bros. sci-fi thriller co-starring Ewan McGregor, released theatrically on August 14, 2026. Early trailers for the film show Hathaway and McGregor’s characters fleeing a mysterious, dinosaur-driven threat that upends a quiet suburban street, blending family-drama beats with large-scale sci-fi spectacle.
Critics who attended the Burbank premiere screening highlighted Hathaway’s commanding screen presence in the role, with some early buzz suggesting her performance could factor into year-end awards conversations depending on how the film’s wider theatrical run plays out.
Anne Hathaway’s Busy 2026 Slate
2026 has been a landmark year for Anne Hathaway both professionally and personally. Alongside The End of Oak Street, she was honored as an official Disney Legend at the D23 Expo earlier this year, celebrating her contributions to films like The Princess Diaries and Alice in Wonderland. She has also continued production commitments tied to her Devil Wears Prada 2 press cycle, making 2026 one of the busiest — and most publicly visible — years of her career even as she prepares to welcome a third child.
How Hathaway Has Approached Maternity Style Before
This isn’t the first time Hathaway has drawn attention for how she’s presented a pregnancy publicly. During her previous two pregnancies, she similarly opted for structured, fashion-forward looks over more conservative maternity wear, a pattern stylist Erin Walsh has continued into this third pregnancy. The reaction to the Burbank look followed a familiar shape for Hathaway: enthusiastic support from fans and much of the fashion press, alongside a smaller but vocal set of critics questioning the choice to bare a midriff on the red carpet while pregnant. Hathaway has not directly addressed the online debate, consistent with her general approach of letting her red carpet choices speak for themselves rather than engaging with commentary.
Fan and Industry Reaction
Beyond the fashion commentary, much of the reaction to Hathaway’s Burbank appearance has focused on the timing relative to her career schedule. Carrying a high-profile theatrical release into the later stages of pregnancy is relatively uncommon for A-list actresses, and several entertainment outlets noted that Hathaway’s willingness to front a major studio premiere so visibly pregnant marks a shift from how the industry has traditionally handled press cycles around expecting stars. Co-stars and crew from The End of Oak Street have publicly praised her for continuing full promotional duties for the film despite the pregnancy, framing it as consistent with her reputation as one of Hollywood’s more hands-on stars when it comes to supporting her own projects through release.
