Anne Hathaway brings back the Versace safety pin dress at the Met Gala

Anne Hathaway was a sexy bombshell in a plunging white Versace gown at Monday night’s Met Gala.

The 40-year-old actress – who is the face of the brand’s Icon campaign – modeled a look sewn together with gold safety pins.

The Armageddon Time star teased her perky cleavage in the look, which was cut extremely low and boasted a thigh-high slit.

Anne turned heads in the ensemble, drawing attention as she rocked the fingerless opera gloves.

It also included a jacket that she draped over her arms during some moments on the red carpet.

Anne’s look paired perfectly with Liz Hurley’s iconic black 1994 Versace safety pin dress.

Anne’s outfit is made with tweed, and she described the look as a “marriage between Versace and Chanel.”

Speaking to Vogue on the red carpet, the mother-of-two said, “I’m just doing some Donatella.” [Versace] tells me to do, very grateful.

“She sent me a sketch for this and I just said, ‘Well, okay.’ I must say that I work with a great team.

“My stylist Erin Walsh, she’s always putting everything together, so it’s really her doing the collaboration. I’m just a lucky guy.’

The version Hurley wore at the premiere of then-boyfriend Hugh Grant’s film Four Weddings and a Funeral was originally modeled by Helena Christensen in Versace’s Spring/Summer 1994 runway show.

Hathaway was decked out in Bulgari jewelry, including a decadent choker that complemented the gold and mother-of-pearl hardware that adorned the dress.

On her feet she wore a pair of pointed-toe satin ivory platform shoes.

And she leaned into the role of vixen with her luscious dark brown hair styled in a voluminous half-up/half-down look.

Her makeup was soft and subtle, expertly applied with pink tones on her cheeks and pout.

The 2023 Met Gala returned Monday night to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where everyone from Kim Kardashian to Paris Hilton was on hand to attend the annual fundraising event.

Since 1948, stars have ascended the majestic staircase to a very exclusive party where no selfies are allowed.

Traditionally, the event takes place on the first Monday of May. It is scheduled to begin at 6:30 PM EST on May 1, 2023.

Fans can follow the event in real time via a live stream on Vogue.

This year’s theme is Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. The late German designer was the creative director of Chanel for a long time. He passed away at the age of 85 in 2019.

His beloved cat, Choupette, is even invited to the festivities.

The decision to honor Karl has sparked controversy given the many offensive comments he’s made over the years, from criticizing the #MeToo movement to opposing same-sex marriage.

“I’m against it for a very simple reason: in the ’60s they all said we were entitled to the difference. And now all of a sudden they want a civil life,” he told Vice about same-sex marriage.

‘It’s hard to imagine – one of the daddies at work and the other at home with the baby. What would that be like for the baby? Don’t know. I see more lesbians married with babies than boys married with babies. And I also believe more in the relationship between mother and child than in that between father and child.’

Although he eventually expressed his support for same-sex marriage at his Chanel haute couture show in the spring of 2013, he still said he was “less enthusiastic” about adopting same-sex children, according to the AP.

Along with Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, who directs and hosts the annual event, the 2023 MET Gala will also be co-hosted by Penelope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel and also Roger Federer.

While the show may be known for its glitzy and over-the-top red carpet — detailing what often remains mysterious inside — at its heart, it’s a fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
