Anne Hathaway Debuts Chic Bangs at Prada Reunion

 debuted a chic new hairstyle in Seoul on Tuesday, as she joined Meryl Streep at a press conference for The Devil Wears Prada 2 in Seoul, amid a swirl of rumours about her remarkably youthful looks.

The actress, 43, was the picture of radiance as she posed on the red carpet sporting trendy face-framing bangs, while sweeping the rest of her hair up into an sleek bun.

And to promote the highly-anticipated film about the world of fashion, Anne displayed her own impeccable style in an off-the-shoulder corset with voluminous puff sleeves.

The Oscar-winner paired the racy backless top with a pair of black leather trousers for some added edginess and V-cut vamp stilettos.

She beamed as she joined her co-star Meryl, 76, who exuded elegance in a modernised red suit, cinched in at the waist with a brown belt and finished off with several chunky gold necklaces.

The co-stars posed for snaps together on the red carpet before sitting down to answer questions from the audience about the long-awaited sequel, ahead of its release on May 1.

And once again, Anne displayed her incredibly ageless beauty after her taut complexion at last month's Oscars, set tongues wagging around the world.

Despite never confirming any procedures, her youthful appearance has consistently led to speculation from fans and plastic surgeons. 

This reached a fever pitch in late 2025, after fans insisted she looked like she was in her twenties rather than early forties, with many suggesting she'd had 'tweakments' like Botox, fillers or a 'ponytail lift.' 

Anne has never said anything to suggest she has gone under the knife, though in 2008 she stated she felt pressure to be 'cookie-cutter beautiful' when she was younger and had even considered a nose job.

But in 2010, she said she wouldn't ever get  because she liked her face to 'reflect a personality' and wanted to keep the same smile she had as a child.

She has continuously declined to speak about any procedures she has or has not had done, previously insisting to Vogue  that asking about surgery is 'an extremely intimate question'.

But Anne added that she has no judgement towards those that do opt for cosmetic surgery, stating: 'Whatever means they find to not live crushed by shame or a lack of self-confidence... I say bravo.'

Asked about her youthful looks again in her most recent interview with Harper's Bazaar, the Princess Diaries star insisted she did not 'discuss medical information'.

She did credit her radiant complexion to her decision to stop drinking  and using products from Shiseido, for which she is a brand ambassador.

But the Hollywood icon confessed to the publication  that despite her enviable looks and figure, she still has days of struggling with her body. 

'Some days you look in the mirror and you're just like, "Not bad,"' she said. 'And some days you look in the mirror and you're like, "What?" And I was having a "What?" day.'

'And you know how you have your aspirational swimsuit that you keep around, just in case you have a good day? And then you have your swimsuit that's got you no matter what? I accidentally packed the aspirational swimsuit.

'Which I then had to wear on a "What?" day. So, I'm ready to have this great day with my family. And I am going to be in front of strangers, and people have phones. And all of the things.

'But my family is waiting for me. And I looked and I just went, "What?" And then I looked again and I said, "You are 43." And looking at a 43-year-old body, I was like, "Nice."

'When I was expecting to see something that I am not, I felt insecure. But when I actually looked at what it actually is, I was okay with it. I think you realize that worry should be reserved for the really big stuff.'

And despite still having those brief moments of insecurity, Anne said that she's enjoying being in her 40s and finds that her happiness has only increased as she's gotten older.

She said: 'I think that very often, conversations about aging presume that the first part of life is the happiest and the most fulfilling, and I don't necessarily think that's true. I wasn't expecting to find another gear at 40.' 

During the same Harper Bazaar interview last month, Meryl also opened up on Devil Wears Prada 2 - which sees her reprise her role as icy fashion editor Miranda Priestly.

Despite being aware of the original film’s legacy, the acting legend admitted she was unprepared for the scale of the reaction more than two decades on and explained how it made filming quite difficult.

‘We needed police barriers and crowd control,’ she said, describing how buses full of fans descended on set during filming.

The chaos even spilled into production, with Meryl recalling how paparazzi ‘kept jumping in front of the camera’ and sparked a ‘kerfuffle’ with crew members.

'Annie kept her cool, but I was unnerved,' she confessed.

The sequel sees Meryl and Anne reunite with Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, as they dive back into the cutthroat world of high fashion - but this time with a modern twist.

Early plotlines suggest Miranda is grappling with the decline of traditional print media while facing off against Emily, now a powerful executive controlling crucial advertising dollars.

The sequel will also introduce a host of new faces, including Kenneth Branagh, Lucy Liu and Justin Theroux.

And with the original 2006 film raking in over $300 million worldwide and becoming a bona fide cult classic, fans are buzzing to see the sequel bring back the glamour - and a whole new dose of high-fashion drama.
