Anne Hathaway left jaws dropping in a barely-there ensemble at the Bulgari Hotel in Rome on Monday.
The 41-year-old Oscar winner – who won critical acclaim for her age difference comedy The Idea of You – turned heads in a white maxi shirt dress from Gap, designed by the brand’s newly appointed creative director Zac Posen.
The chic look was left mostly open to create a thigh-high slit.
The collar is draped casually, revealing a white corset bodice, adding a seductive yet casual atmosphere to the whole.
She adorned herself with Bulgari jewels, including a stunning diamond necklace, accessorized with a Serpenti diamond bracelet and sparkling earrings.

The glitzy outing comes after the Princess Diaries alum opened up about her decision to quit drinking in a candid interview with Vanity Fair.
The star – who also revealed during the interview that she suffered a miscarriage in 2015 – revealed that abstaining from alcohol was part of her personal health transformation over the past five years.
“I knew deep down this wasn’t for me,” she admitted.
“And it felt so extreme to have to say, ‘But none?’ But none,” she continued. “If you’re allergic to something or have an anaphylactic reaction to something, you don’t argue about it.”
Hathaway insisted she wasn’t coming from a place of judgment about anyone else.
“It’s a path that everyone has to walk for themselves,” she explained. ‘My personal experience with it is that everything is better. For me it was like swallowing fuel. And I don’t like to wallow.”
She initially addressed this decision in January 2019, revealing that her choice to stop absorbing was to be more present for her 3-year-old son.
‘I didn’t have a drink because my drinking was a problem; “I put it down because the way I drink makes me hangover and that was the problem,” she said Boston Common magazine.

‘My last hangover lasted five days. If I’m at a stage in my life where there’s enough room for a hangover, I’ll start drinking again, but that won’t happen until my child has left home.’
Still, the actress said she doesn’t hold any grudges against parents who indulge in a few drinks every now and then. ‘
“I just want to make this clear: Most people don’t have to do something this extreme. I don’t think drinking is bad,” she explained.
“The way I do it is just the way I do it, which I personally find very fun and wonderful. It’s just not for me the kind of fun and wonderful that comes with having a child. But this is not a moralistic point of view.”
The clarification came after she revealed she had quit drinking during a January 2019 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
She playfully shared funny hangover anecdotes before once again revealing her decision not to drink alcohol until her son had grown up and left home.
“I don’t really like how I (drink) and (my son) get to an age where he really needs me all morning,” Anne told the host.
‘I did a school run one day where I dropped him off at school. I wasn’t driving, but I was hungover and that was enough for me. I didn’t like that one.’
Meanwhile, Hathaway revealed in her Vanity Fair interview that she suffered a miscarriage in 2015, before eventually welcoming her first child with husband Adam Shulman in March 2016.
The couple now have two sons: Jonathan, seven, and Jack, three.
During the miscarriage, Hathaway was immersed in his work, performing in a six-week, one-woman Off-Broadway show entitled Grounded.
‘I didn’t succeed the first time. “I was doing a play and had to give birth on stage every night,” she said.
Although it is not clear when the miscarriage occurred, the play – written by George Brant – ran for six weeks in April 2015.

‘It was too much to hold in when I stood on stage and pretended everything was fine. I had to keep it real otherwise… So when I was doing well, because I was on the other side of it – where you have to have the grace to be happy for someone – I wanted to let my sisters know, “You don’t have to to always be gracious. I see you and I have been you.”‘ she added.
The Rachel Getting Married star also made the decision to cut other unhealthy habits out of her life as much as possible, such as minimizing her social media use. ‘
“I make a lot of my lifestyle choices to support mental health,” she said.
‘I’ve stopped participating in things that I know can deflate or cause spirals. I don’t actually have a relationship with myself online.’
