Anne Hathaway sparks plastic surgery speculation with taut face at Ralph Lauren fashion show

Anne Hathaway’s seemingly ageless appearance became a hot topic of discussion after the actress sat front row at Ralph Lauren’s fall 2025 fashion show.

The “Devil Wears Prada” star, 42, looked fresh-faced as she took in the stunning collection alongside a slew of other celebs, such as Michelle Williams, Naomi Watts and Kacey Musgraves, in New York City on Thursday.

Photos and videos of Hathaway’s taut look quickly went viral on social media, with some fans questioning how she has maintained such a smooth, wrinkle-free look.

“These plastic surgeons are getting real good,” one user wrote on X, to which another agreed, “Money well spent i can’t even tell.”

“She’s like a vampire. She doesn’t look like she’s aging,” a third commented.

“Whatever procedure/treatment Anne Hathaway had done to her face has her looking STUNNING. She’s always been gorgeous but honey??” a fourth chimed in.

“she finally looks like she’s had something done to preserve her face, but it looks well done! just obvs not natural anymore,” someone else said.

“yooo she got that lindsay lohan face work,” another wrote about the “Mean Girls” star, who went viral last year for aging backwards.

People speculated that the “Princess Diaries” star has had everything from a nose job to a foxy eye and brow lift — along with top-of-the-line facials and skincare, of course.

Others, meanwhile, noted that Hathaway’s super sleek ponytail may have doubled as a temporary facelift.

“If she’s had work done, it’s very very good. But let’s not discount the power of the slick back ponytail face lift,” a netizen pointed out.

“it’s the makeup and hairstyle giving the tight illusion,” another agreed on Reddit.

Hathaway has maintained a youthful glow ever since she first stepped onto the scene at just 17 years old.

Although she has never admitted to getting work done, she notably spoke out about the pressure to get plastic surgery in 2008.

The actress told Express that “there’s a lot of pressure on young women” from an early age, “when you first become aware of your own looks in relation to other women’s looks.”

“You just want to be cookie-cutter beautiful. And sometimes you think, ‘Maybe I could change something about myself to fit that mold,’” she explained. “I’m no exception to that.”

Hathaway said she “wanted a nose job” when she was “growing up” because she didn’t think her schnoz was “good” enough.

However, as she got older, she realized that her nose set her apart.

“I think it’s what lets me change my face a lot,” she explained.

“Your face needs to have character if you’re going to be an actor or you’re just kind of a face. You’re not really a person or a personality.”
