Anne Hathaway looked half her age at the 2025 Met Gala after recently sparking plastic surgery rumours.

The actress, 42, attended Monday’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”-themed night wearing a Carolina Herrera oversized white button-up tucked into a beaded black-and-white-striped structured column skirt.

Hathaway wore her long, dark locks pulled back and up into a beehive style, accentuating her near-flawless face.

Opting for minimal makeup with an emphasis on clean skin, the Devil Wears Prada star once again fanned the flames that she may have undergone a little nip/tuck.

“Anne Hathaway doesn’t age man,” one of many X users posted, with another echoing, “Devil wear[s] Prada part 2. Anne Hathaway you never aged.”

“she doesn’t look her age,” someone else argued, while a fourth proclaimed in a post translated from Spanish, “I need to call a dermatologist to order the Anne Hathaway/Lindsay Lohan package.”

Hathaway’s strikingly youthful appearance became a topic of discussion last month after she sat front row at Ralph Lauren’s fall 2025 fashion show.

For the runway event, the brunette beauty wore her hair in a tight high ponytail, drawing everyone’s eyes to her perfectly taut – and seemingly new – face.

“These plastic surgeons are getting real good,” one of several X users wrote, prompting someone else to agree, “Money well spent i can’t even tell.”

Another fan chimed in, “Whatever procedure/treatment Anne Hathaway had done to her face has her looking STUNNING. She’s always been gorgeous but honey??”

Fans speculated that the Princess Diaries star might have opted for everything from a nose job to a foxy eye and brow lift — in addition to top-of-the-line facials and skincare products, of course.

Hathaway – who’s known fame since she was a teenager – admitted to Express UK in 2008 that she was “no exception” to experiencing the “pressure” society puts on young women to become “aware” of their looks “in relation to other women’s looks.”

She lamented at the time, “You just want to be cookie-cutter beautiful. And sometimes, you think, ‘Maybe I could change something about myself to fit that mold.’”
