When it comes to the red carpet, Anne Hathaway seems to scatter lust-worthy hair trends like confetti. And this weekend was no different.
At the 30th Annual SAG Awards on 24th February, Anne Hathaway re-united with her co-stars from The Devil Wears Prada, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt, to present the Best Male Actor in a Comedy Series award.
She wore an off-the-shoulder archival Versace gown from 2018 and, in an interview exchange, agreed that the shade was ‘cerulean’ – a nod to her character in the hit movie, Andy Sachs, when she discovers that the sweater she's wearing is not just blue – but a very important, specific shade called cerulean.
The Y2K bangs are going viral.
Nostalgia aside, it was her voluminous XXL blowout and panes of ultra-shiny hair that really stole the show. Celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel, who created the look, told GLAMOUR that he wanted to bring out the '90s supermodel vibe with a lot of hair and movement. He wanted it to “exude bombshell and confidence,” he notes.
“The look is anchored by a middle part with height, right at the crown, and is accented with face-framing bangs,” Adir says, adding that these create “beautiful cascading movement” and that "the hair is full of volume and bounce – and feels luxe.”
Adir prepped the hair with Virtue Labs’ Damage Reverse Serum (currently only available in the US) and Volumising Mousse, before rough drying the hair with the Shark FlexStyle. He then tells us that he used the Shark FlexStyle Auto-Wrap Curlers to create a classic barrel curl, after which he set and pinned each section in place. Once it had cooled, he brushed the hair out with a Mason Pearson brush before applying Virtue’s Healing Oil for added shine. For the finishing touch, Adir backcombed the crown area to create extra height and fixed the look in place with the Texturising Spray.
The 41-year-old Oscar winner then swapped her mini beehive for loose waves at the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards on 25th February, where she was nominated for best supporting performance for her role in the thriller Eileen.
Adir, who also created this second look, says that he “wanted to go with something that felt just super relaxed and very ‘70s – like undone Jane Birkin," to complement Anne's sequinned white Valentino jumpsuit.

To enhance the natural texture of Anne’s hair, he opted for a gentle blowout and “soft bangs with a natural wave that cascaded with a carefree flair, reminiscent of '70s flower child vibes.”
After working the Virtue Labs Volumising Primer all over the roots, he rough dried the hair. “I then took a big round brush, and blow-dried the bangs first, tucking them under to add softness to the ends,” Adir says. “I then blow-dried the rest of the hair around a large, round boar bristle brush.” To finish the look, he applied a mixture of the Healing Oil and One For All 6-In-1 Styler to the mid-lengths and ends before adding “a very slight bend with a 2-inch curling iron to give it a little bit more of a natural feeling.”
Obsessed doesn't even begin to cover it.
