Anne Hathaway arrived at the 2023 British Fashion Awards in London on Monday in a gorgeous vintage Valentino gown, but only narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction.

The British Fashion Awards were held at the Royal Albert Hall, and was quite the star-studded event. Gwyneth Paltrow, Rita Ora, Amal Clooney, Winnie Harlow, and Suki Waterhouse are just a few of the celebrities that showed off their outfits on the red carpet.

The mother-of-two wore a couture vintage Valentino gown from the Spring/Summer 1993 collection. The cream-colored ensemble featured a daring low-cut scooped neckline as part of the ribbed bodice, and featured a tiered fringe skirt with an airy, pleated skirt underneath. The actress wore her long, dark locks down her back, and modeled a silver choker necklace.
She arrived wearing a black and white checked cape with the gown, though she took it off for most of the pictures. She kept her make-up minimal, going with a pinkish-red lip and simple eye-makeup.
