Anne Hathaway, the 43-year-old American actress, has been designated 'World's Most Beautiful' star for 2026 by People magazine. This accolade arrives as Hathaway navigates a particularly prolific period in her career, currently promoting five films.
The actress attributes much of this success and personal equilibrium to the support of her husband, producer and actor Adam Shulman, whom she describes as a "dream partner" and an "extraordinary person."
Hathaway's reflections, shared in interviews accompanying the magazine feature, touch upon various aspects of her professional life. Notably, she anticipates the release of a sequel to 'The Devil Wears Prada,' a project she has long envisioned, and looks forward to reuniting with co-stars like Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci.
The interviews also provided a platform for Hathaway to revisit past roles. She recalled her experience portraying Catwoman in 'The Dark Knight Rises,' expressing discomfort with the media's focus on her weight loss rather than the physical preparation and effort involved in the role.

Her recent public appearances, including ensembles at New York Fashion Week, have also drawn attention, with her fashion choices often a result of collaborations with stylist Erin Walsh.
Hathaway's career trajectory, marked by this 'Most Beautiful' recognition and a robust film slate, suggests a deliberate shift towards embracing professional endeavors with enjoyment rather than pressure. Her film 'Mother Mary' is slated for release, followed by 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' on May 1.
