Anne Hathaway, 42, sparks plastic surgery speculation as she debuts a VERY taut face

Anne Hathaway has recently sparked speculation that she may have undergone a cosmetic procedure, given that her skin appears noticeably smoother than it did just half a year ago.

The 42-year-old Academy Award winner revealed her rejuvenated appearance while sitting in the front row at the Ralph Lauren autumn 2025 fashion show, hosted at the Jack Shainman Gallery in Tribeca, Manhattan, on Thursday.

Anne sought the expertise of makeup artist Kristopher Buckle, known for working with celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, who faced her own plastic surgery speculations last November. Buckle applied false eyelashes and skillfully contoured Anne’s firm facial features.

Hairstylist Orlando Pita pulled Hathaway’s hair back into a super-tight ponytail for the fashion festivities, which might have doubled as a sort of face lift.

Even when The Idea of You producer-star let out a big laugh, her forehead did not reveal even one wrinkle or crinkle.

X user @MarkMyT tweeted: ‘If she’s had work done it’s very very good. But let’s not discount the power of the slick back ponytail face lift.’

Over on Reddit, user @Strawberrysweet-tea speculated: ‘If 2025 is the year where everyone mysteriously looks two decades younger – what will 2035 bring?’

‘Everybody in Hollywood is Benjamin Button-ing,’ Reddit user @hbomb9410 agreed. ‘Annie’s on track to be a baby by 2045.’

Reddit user @Last-Bread-6173 compared Hathaway to Ariana Grande, who’s rumored to have undergone a foxy eye and brow lift: ‘Asiana Hathaway? Reminding me of Ariana…’

‘It’s the combo of false lashes and tight pony. She looks herself without it, this just looks like too much tension,’ Reddit user @WifeOfSpock wrote.

‘Yeah it’s the makeup and hairstyle giving the tight illusion,’ Reddit user @embracethepale agreed.

Reddit user @babygorgeousxx posted a snap of The Real Housewives of New York City alum Ramona Singer captioned: ‘I love Anne and I think she looks beautiful but the ponytail is giving Ramona.’

In 2023, Dr. Gary Motykie told DailyMail.com that he had ‘no doubt she had surgery on her nose’ as it appears the former child star refined her tip with a finesse rhinoplasty.

‘You see it go from a slightly more plunging bulbous tip with a wide bridge to having a much more defined contour and thinner bridge and thinner tip and more tip projection. That’s the leading sign of having a rhinoplasty,’ the 53-year-old plastic surgeon speculated.

‘We also see that natural sign of thinning and baby fat going away on her face, but it does appear to be more maintained. So, again, I am suspicious of things like fillers, Botox, maintenance with micro-needling and skin tightening, things to just maintain the skin.

‘I also noticed her jawline is a bit narrower, again that could be the normal loss of body fat or it could be some slight contouring to the jawline to bring in that lower face with things like Botox to narrow that lower part of the face.’

Back in 2008, Anne denied ever going under the knife but confessed: ‘When I was growing up, I wanted a nose job, because I didn’t think my nose was good.’

‘Your face needs to have character if you’re going to be an actor, or you’re just kind of a face,’ Hathaway explained.
