Anne Hathaway has been named People magazine’s “Most Beautiful Woman” for 2026, marking another milestone in her decades-long Hollywood career.
The 43-year-old actress appears on the magazine’s May cover and reflects on her evolving perspective on beauty, saying she now values authenticity and self-acceptance more than ever.
In the accompanying interview, Hathaway spoke about balancing her career and personal life, crediting her husband Adam Shulman for being a constant source of support. The couple shares two children.
She also opened up about her approach to fitness, highlighting her long-term work with trainer Monique Eastwood, whose routine blends ballet, high-intensity training, Pilates, and yoga.

Looking ahead, Hathaway is preparing for a busy year with multiple film projects, including the much-anticipated sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2, nearly two decades after the original film.
Reflecting on her journey, she said she has grown more comfortable with herself over time and now finds greater joy in both work and life.
The Oscar-winning actress, known for roles in films such as The Princess Diaries, Les Misérables and The Dark Knight Rises, remains one of the most recognisable figures in the film industry.
