Anne Hathaway may have given The Odyssey its warmest red carpet moment yet.
The actress lit up the film’s world premiere in London on Monday, cradling her baby bump in a baby-blue Dior gown as she posed alongside one of the starriest casts of the year.
Hathaway, who is expecting her third child, has turned the entire Odyssey press run into a maternity fashion showcase, and the premiere was the highlight.
A Baby-Blue Dior Moment
For the July 6 gala at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, Hathaway wore a strapless baby-blue Dior gown with an empire waist, softly pleated from top to hem and finished with Bvlgari jewels.
A blue floral detail bloomed from the empire waistline, and the silhouette was tailored to flatter this stage of her pregnancy. Photographers caught her mid-laugh more than once, one hand resting on her bump.
It capped a press tour full of standout looks. A day earlier at the photocall she went with a flowing white off-the-shoulder Blumarine gown, and she has cycled through bold reds and relaxed tailoring across stops in New York and London.
Hathaway Is Expecting Her Third Child
The Oscar winner, 43, announced the pregnancy roughly two weeks ago in a short Instagram video, walking into frame in a white gown before revealing her bump with a smile. She set the clip to Barbara Lewis’ “Baby, I’m Yours” and kept the caption just as brief.
Hathaway and husband Adam Shulman, who married in 2012, are already parents to two sons, Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6.
The actress has been candid in the past about her fertility journey, which has made her pregnancy news especially meaningful to longtime fans.
Penelope Waits As The Odyssey Nears Release
In Christopher Nolan’s film, Hathaway plays Penelope, the queen of Ithaca who holds the kingdom together while her husband Odysseus, played by Matt Damon, fights his way home after the Trojan War.
She was one of many big names on the carpet, with Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o and Mia Goth all turning out for the premiere.
The Odyssey is shaping up as one of the biggest releases of the summer, with expectations running high heading into opening weekend. Nolan shot the epic entirely on IMAX cameras across multiple countries.
The first reactions are in and call The Odyssey a triumph, which comes amid all the controversy over the cast and trailer dislikes.
Confirmed The Odyssey Details
The Odyssey is directed by Christopher Nolan and adapts Homer’s ancient Greek poem, following Odysseus on his long journey home from the Trojan War. The ensemble includes Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron and Lupita Nyong’o.
Produced by Nolan and Emma Thomas for Syncopy and distributed by Universal Pictures, The Odyssey opens in theaters and IMAX on July 17.
