Anne Hathaway has been declared the most beautiful female celebrity of 2026.
People magazine granted the actress the lead spot on the cover of their special “World’s Most Beautiful” issue. This year marks a significant period for the actress, with five projects slated for release, notably her return to “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” where audiences will once again see her as Andy Sachs, alongside Meryl Streep reprising her role as Miranda Priestly.
The 43-year-old American, whose upbringing was steeped in strict Catholic values as the daughter of a successful lawyer and an actress, is married to actor and jewelry designer Adam Shulman. The couple shares two children. Hathaway confided that it wasn’t until after turning 40 that she managed to shed her excessive self-demands and truly began living her best life. Coincidentally, this turning point heralded the arrival of her most compelling acting roles and major collaboration offers from leading fashion houses.
Hathaway has since become an official ambassador for celebrated fashion brands such as Versace, Valentino, and Ralph Lauren, among others.
