THE TROUBLE WITH LOVE IS…

Posted Jul 20 2008 @ 05:22 PM

Anne Hathway was spotted in NYC on July 14 after a hard day’s work filming the new romantic comedy Bride Wars with Kate Hudson. It’s been a rocky month for the starlet, and this misguided ensemble is no exception. Miranda Priestly would have a heart attack if she saw this one! I am a huge fan of the high-waist shorts look for summer, but the horizontal stripes and pleats in the waistband are obscenely unflattering (check out Hudson’s Scout Pleated Short in Eternal for a much improved, 3 button waistband version). Anne got it right with the tucked in tank (Sydney LA’s Sydney Tank in Dawn White is a very similar cashmere variety), a playful long necklace (try Castaway’s Horn Pendant and Anchor Cluster Necklace for a similar look), and sleek sandals (Matiko’s Katia Sandal in White are similar with cute braided detail). Anne topped off her look with a luxurious black leather handbag (like Jack Rabbit Collection’s Kathleen Bag in Black), matching black sunglasses (like JeeVice’s Red Hot in Black/Smoke), and I’m happy to see Anne’s adding color to her life with the bright bouquet of flowers. Since the shocking arrest of her ex, Italian land developer Raffaello Follieri, Anne has been laying low recovering from the break-up. Anne describes herself, “I mean, I'm about as aggressive as a tulip and I'm full of self-doubt and neuroses and issues” - poor girl! Friends close to The Devil Wears Prada star say she’s lost at least 25 pounds since the split, dropping from a healthy size 10 to a slender size 6 in less than a month. And who could blame her? After breaking up with her boyfriend of four years, the press has gone crazy with “the princess and the con-man” blasts, and Raffaello’s friends have gone as far as accusing Anne of aiding the FBI in the bust. To cope with the stress, Anne has thrown herself into her career, traveling extensively to promote her latest flick, Get Smart with Steve Carrell, and getting ready for the September film festival premiere of her slightly edgier film, Rachel Getting Married, directed by Jonathon Demme. Anne’s rep says her weight loss can be attributed to intense physical training sessions for her new films - what do you think?
