Anne Hathaway Named People’s 2026 Most Beautiful Woman in the World
People Magazine has officially unveiled its 2026 “World’s Most Beautiful” issue, and the honor belongs to the one and only Anne Hathaway.
The 43-year-old Oscar winner graces the cover just as her career reaches a fever pitch, with a staggering five films slated for release this year—including the highly anticipated The Devil Wears Prada 2. In her candid cover story, the actress opens up about her journey from being her own “toughest critic” to finding a new sense of calm and confidence in her 40s.

In a world of filters and perfection, Anne shared a refreshing take on aging and beauty. Her top secret? It isn’t a fancy cream, but rather a mastery of environment. “Understand your lighting,” she told the magazine. “Bad lighting is mean and cruel, and as you age, you need lighting that’s a little bit more intelligent.”
Beyond the studio lights, Anne reflected on her “longest unbroken awkward phase in Hollywood,” admitting she didn’t truly feel comfortable in her own skin until her late 30s. Today, she embraces a philosophy that beauty must contain truth to be real.
The timing of the honor couldn’t be more perfect. With The Devil Wears Prada 2 set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, Anne is stepping back into the world of Runway magazine alongside Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.
She described the reunion as “beautiful and joyful,” noting that Andy Sachs has spent the last 20 years exploring her career as a journalist—and shopping at some very high-end consignment stores. “She actually has a very cool wardrobe,” Anne teased.
Anne was quick to credit her husband of 13 years, Adam Shulman, for making this “unusual” and busy year possible. Calling him her “dream partner,” she praised the way he has stepped up to support her and their two sons while she navigates a packed filming and press schedule.
From her breakout days in The Princess Diaries to her upcoming roles in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Verity, Anne Hathaway continues to prove that she is much more than just a face on a magazine—she is a powerhouse artist at the top of her game.
