ANNE ROCKS OUT

Posted Aug 24 2008 @ 11:44 AM

Anne Hathaway had a lunch date with a friend at the trendy West Hollywood eatery Le Conversation on August 20, taking some time off to relax while prepping for the release of her next film, Rachel Getting Married. From the sight of her toned arms, it looks like newly single Anne is still keeping up her vigorous workout routine inspired by her stunt double in Get Smart. Anne says, "She was so ridiculously fit, it inspired me to get into shape. And when you have to lift yourself from the side of a moving vehicle using only your stomach muscles, it makes you work on your abs." Looks like her hard work is still paying off! At lunch Anne looked casually glamorous in a long black strapless dress (like Lotta Stensson’s Long Gathered Tube Dress in Black) with simple t-strap sandals (check out Matiko’s Katia Sandal in Black) and a comfy striped shawl (try Elizabeth Gillett’s Imelda Shawl in Black if you are a fan of the wrap look). Anne played her accessories down, carrying a woven striped beach bag and wearing dangly gold earrings (see Christie Martin’s 3 Oval Earrings in Gold) with super dark sunnies (Anne is a fan of JeeVice’s Red Hot in Black Smoke) and a huge pair of old school headphones. Umm, not sure why Anne needed the huge noise canceling pair for her walk from the car to the restaurant, maybe she lost her iPod ear buds in that giant tote? On the bright side, at least they match her ensemble. Freshly returned to the dating scene, Anne recently opened up in an interview about what she likes in a man. Among standard virtues like patience and respect, Anne gushed about how much she loves “nice guys”: “Nice guys are few and far between, so they must be valued and supported and encouraged to remain nice.” After her recent boy drama, it’s no wonder she’s looking to settle down with someone sans shadiness!
