This afternoon in New York City, Ralph Lauren presented a small, exclusive fashion show to unveil the fall 2025 collection. Though the event was intimate, it was far from lacking star power—front-row guests included Michelle Williams, Naomi Watts, Kacey Musgraves, Ariana DeBose, and Anne Hathaway. Hathaway, no stranger to standout Ralph Lauren moments (who could forget her denim gown at the 2023 CFDA Awards?), once again made a statement with her outfit. This time, she turned heads with an unexpected choice: a pair of eye-catching trousers.

Think of them as a glam twist on ripped jeans—Hathaway wore Lauren’s distressed sequin pants, deliberately shredded at the knees. While sequins are usually saved for formal occasions, Hathaway’s edgy take (first seen on the spring 2025 runway last September) proved they can work for a more relaxed, yet still chic, look.

She kept the rest of her outfit sleek, pairing the pants with a simple white tank and a khaki trench coat. Her stiletto sandals and gold jewelry—likely from Bulgari, as she’s a brand ambassador—added just the right touch of polish. After all, it’s a fashion show—if you’re going to wear ripped jeans, they should look deliberate, not like you tripped on the way there.
