Due to her success in the Hollywood film industry, Anne Hathaway has flown under the radar as a forefront beauty muse. However, in the midst of filming award-winning movies, the actor has certainly given the likes of the Kardashian clan a run for their money with hair and makeup looks to rival (read: *that* iconic 2012 pixie cut). And although it's been over a decade since her most shocking look, Anne is proving her reign supreme with a bedhead hairstyle like no other.
In a recent and collaborative Instagram post, both Anne and Versace shared a new campaign image in honour of the brand's most iconic fashion designs – after all, she is one-half of the 'Icons' faces for Versace's new campaign, alongside Cillian Murphy.
However, luxury fashions aside, it was actually Anne's hairstyle that had us reverse-scrolling our feeds to take a second (and very long) look at the pic. I mean, as one follower so bluntly puts it in the comments section: "She woke up and came straight from her bed."
The hybrid crimped and loose waved style is giving chaos – but in the best way possible – fusing the best of 00s hair trends with the early 2010s era. In other words, it's as if she's risen from a 3am bed call post-Pryzm 2-4-1 jägerbombs on a Sunday spring morning circa 2002. *War flashbacks*
Just us? Thought so...
Alas, Anne's voluminous 'do is one that she can no doubt pull off, looking as chic, radiant and straight off the runway as ever. My bird's nest could never.
