Anne Hathaway's Halloween Costume Was So Not What I Expected—It's Even Better

This time of year, there's one Mean Girls quote that gets stuck in my head: "In Girl World, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." But not everyone goes the risqué route for their Halloween costume—just look to Anne Hathaway as a cute example. While trick-or-treating in New York City with her husband and son, she dressed as Rey Skywalker from Star Wars. Her low-key outfit looked chic and comfortable—the perfect combination if you ask me.

I associate Hathaway with the best rom-coms of my generation—The Princess Diaries, The Devil Wears Prada, and Ella Enchanted—so I expected her to dress up as a similarly light-hearted character. Her Star Wars costume, however, makes total sense to me now: Rey Skywalker might not be a rom-com star, but she is strong-willed, badass, and powerful—all traits that Hathaway's portrayals also possess. Scroll down to see photos of Hathaway's 2024 Halloween costume.
