Anne Hathaway is one of Hollywood’s most recognizable faces, but fans are starting to think that won’t be the case for much longer.

The Devil Wears Prada star recently attended this year’s Academy Awards, where she wore a figure-hugging floral gown and some Hollywood glam-style makeup. However, after seeing photos of her at the famous event, many of her longtime fans thought she wasn’t looking the same, likely due to cosmetic work. Read more about her Oscars appearance and what fans had to say below.

Anne Hathaway Walks The Oscars Red Carpet In A Floral Gown & Glam Makeup

This spring is an exciting one for fans of the Oscar-winning star, as her highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada comes out in a matter of weeks, as well as her psychological thriller, Mother Mary.

 

Since she has so much going on, it's not surprising to many that she attended this year's Academy Awards, and she did so in a super elegant look. Anne walked the red carpet in a floor-length, mermaid-style black gown with a floral pattern. The strapless gown hugged her figure and was paired with some classic long black gloves.

 

Her long, brown hair was styled half up, half down, and she had on some glamorous makeup, with thick lashes and a slightly darker, neutral lip. Everything was tied together as she wore expensive-looking diamond jewelry.

Fans Accuse Anne Of Looking 'Unrecognizable' On Social Media

Though she had a lot of fans who were excited to see her at the prestigious event, many wondered if the mom-of-two would be back there as a nominee in the future. There were also a good number of fans online who couldn't get over how different they thought she looked.

 

On social media platforms like X, formerly Twitter, users wrote about how they thought she looked unrecognizable with a "new face" and like she had received plastic surgery.

 

"What did Anne Hathaway do to her face and why?" asked a user on X.

 

"She's very beautiful, but she no longer resembles herself," added another.

 

"She looks good, of course, but why is she turning herself into a Kardashian?" asked a fan. "She's so naturally beautiful."

 

As one fan on X speculated that the Les Misérables actress "got some sort of eyebrow lift or facelift," others wrote that she looked "almost unrecognizable," and echoed the message that she's always been beautiful, and doesn't need to do anything.

 

"It changed her whole look!" wrote another. "It's really crazy how celebrities just show up to events with new faces."
