A stat has been floating around about Anne Hathaway's 2025 Met Gala red carpet outfit that bears repeating.

It's the kind of piece that dazzles on the red carpet beneath a stark white button-up and Bulgari necklace with a sapphire the size of an egg—but also one that might weigh a star down on the after-party circuit. So Hathaway and stylist Erin Walsh had a plan to make at least half her look last all night: They'd swap her skirt with the ever-present capri pants trend.
