Anne Hathaway stepped out in New York wearing a custom GapStudio gown by designer Zac Posen for her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, showing off her baby bump in an off-white charmeuse dress with a sheer tunic overlay. The look was part of her ongoing press tour for The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's upcoming film due in July, in which she plays Penelope. iHeart reported that Hathaway confirmed she is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman.
The Grecian-inspired gown was paired with Aquazzura 'sea wave wedge' heels and Bulgari jewelry. The minimalist silhouette, with its flowing lines and bias-cut fabric, was designed to complement both the film's Greek mythology theme and her growing bump. The appearance marked one of the most talked-about maternity fashion moments of the tour so far.
Zac Posen Brings GapStudio to the Red Carpet
Posen has been Gap Inc.'s Executive Vice President and Creative Director since February 2024. He designed the custom gown alongside stylist Erin Walsh. Posen called working with Hathaway a privilege, describing it as rooted in a long-standing friendship. This is not their first viral moment together. In May 2024, Hathaway wore a deconstructed Posen T-shirt dress that sold out on Gap's website almost immediately after she was photographed in it.
The GapStudio gown uses a bias-cut silhouette — meaning the fabric is cut on an angle to hug the body in a soft, flowing way. The sheer tunic overlay adds length and a draped, toga-like feel. Together, the design nods to ancient Greece while keeping the look modern and bump-friendly. It is a strong example of how the Gap collaboration has moved the brand into high-fashion territory.
Hathaway's Third Pregnancy: 'A Buzzer-Beater' at 43
Hathaway, 43, opened up about her pregnancy during the Seth Meyers appearance. iHeart reported she called it a "buzzer-beater" pregnancy. Despite thinking it might never happen at her age, she and Shulman had planned and tried for a third child. Mirror reported she said, "We were so shocked it worked." The couple already share two sons.
TDPEL Media noted that Hathaway was open about the surprise of the pregnancy working at 43, even though it was intentional. Her announcement drew wide attention, partly because it came during a high-profile promotional moment. Zoom TV Entertainment reported the announcement came through an Instagram post designed to keep focus on the film tour rather than overshadow it.
Tour Wardrobe Spans Designers From New York to London
The GapStudio look was not Hathaway's only standout outfit on the tour. For the London premiere, she wore an azure blue Dior gown with an empire waist — a high waistline that sits just below the bust and flows out, another silhouette well-suited for pregnancy. The London look showed how different designers are each putting their own spin on her Grecian, maternity-friendly aesthetic.
Across both cities, the wardrobe has been widely praised. Hathaway's styling choices have made pregnancy a central part of the fashion conversation around The Odyssey. Her visible bump and glamorous looks on major red carpets and talk shows are helping to normalize pregnancy as a full fashion moment rather than something to hide.
Trojan Horse Moment and The Odyssey's Casting Controversy
Hathaway has been active on social media during the tour. She posted an Instagram video from a car that showed the Trojan Horse prop set up outside the film's New York premiere. The clip became a talking point online and added to the spectacle of the promotion. Actor Jon Bernthal also shared warm memories from production, recalling taking castmates out to dinner after filming wrapped.
Not all attention around The Odyssey has been positive. The film has faced online backlash over its diverse and transgender casting choices ahead of the July release. The criticism has run alongside praise for the fashion and the cast's press-tour appearances. Hathaway's role as Penelope — the faithful wife of Odysseus in Homer's epic — remains front and center as the promotional push continues.
