The Princess Diaries star put to rest the rumors swirling around her supposed buccal fat removal years later in 2023. Attendees at the Valentino Paris Fashion Week show couldn’t help but notice her face looking strikingly more slender, sparking a wave of speculation that she swiftly debunked.
In August of 2023, the Dark Knight Rises actress disclosed her skincare regimen to Vogue, wherein she spoke highly of the Shiseido label as its brand ambassador. “I really love face sheets and eye patches … I had my Shiseido [eye mask] on just before this interview,” she said. “You can’t go wrong with water.”
Hathaway is frequently praised online for her chic style, as well as her “ageless” and “radiant” complexion, with many fans longing for more of her beauty secrets.
In September 2023, the Eileen actress sat down with People Magazine and discussed her thoughts on aging, self-care and her positive mindset. “Aging is just another word for living. And what you do with it from there is personal and up to you. I feel great — I feel better than I did in my twenties because I’m taking much better care of myself,” she dished.
The mom of two (who shares sons Jonathan, 7 and Jack, 3, with husband Adam Shulman) went on: "I'm really happy to have been exposed to Shiseido’s Vital Perfection [line]. I didn't know there was skincare specifically designed for skin in its fifth decade. I’m thrilled to have that extra bit of support."
Regarding confidence and personal style, Hathaway revealed: "In this moment everybody's taking risks and I feel like there's more than one way to do it right now, which means that you don't have to hit a mark, you just have to be yourself — and that feels wonderful."
Last month, regarding her supple skin and plump lips, Hathaway shared her clever, go–to beauty secret in a TikTok video, revealing to fans how she achieves plumper lips using nothing but a simple hairpin.
The clip, which Hathaway shared in June, begins with the Idea of You actress having her hair styled by Adir Abergel while on the set of a campaign shoot for Shiseido skincare. “I’ve been sat in a chair for a while, we get on set and I took a look at the monitor and I thought my upper lip looked just a little wilted,” Hathaway explained.
To give her lips a bit more vitality and fullness, she demonstrated to her fans how she lightly taps them with a hairpin. “I sort of stimulated my lip to try and get some blood flow back there, to get some circulation,” the Brokeback Mountain star continued, adding: “everybody looked at me like I had three heads.”
As with any do–it–yourself beauty hack, Hathaway warned that hers includes some important safety caveats, naturally. “You can overdo this, you can push too hard. It’s meant to be a gentle thing you don’t do longer than 30 seconds,” the style icon pointed out.
“Don’t stab yourself. If you’ve drawn blood you’ve gone too far. It’s not a vampire LipTok. It’s just a little something to wake your upper lip up.”
