Anne Hathaway Shuts Down ‘Fake Baby Bump’ Claims With Witty Response
Anne Hathaway is on a roll with her film promotions. After wrapping up the promotions for “The Odyssey,” Hathaway is now seen at appearances for her next project, “The End of Oak Street.” During one of the promotional outings, Hathaway wore a custom Atelier Prabal Gurung sculptural halterneck featuring a high-low hem that highlighted her baby bump, along with a flowing train crafted from pale-blue silk Mikado and finished with a crimson lining. She completed the look with baggy low-rise jeans and red-and-pink stiletto pumps by Aquazzura.
While several social media users praised her maternity fashion, some trolls questioned whether her pregnant belly was actually real. While one user wrote, “I’m sorry but that looks fake,” another commented, “That was my immediate reaction too.”
