Overview
- Hathaway publicly announced her third pregnancy on June 19 with an Instagram video captioned “x Baby I’m yours,” confirming she and husband Adam Shulman are expecting a third child.
- At the world premiere of The End of Oak Street on Aug. 9 she walked the red carpet in a powder‑blue, sculptural Atelier Prabal Gurung crop top that exposed her baby bump and was paired with low‑rise jeans and red heels.
- Photos and clips from the premiere prompted some social media users to claim her bump looked “fake,” a backlash that spread across X, Instagram and TikTok.
- Hathaway responded directly on Instagram with a behind‑the‑scenes video captioned “Fake hair, real bump,” and reports say she declined a photographer’s request to place her hands on her belly, signaling firm boundaries with the press.
- The wardrobe moment and the reaction to it have focused attention on Hathaway’s choice to foreground maternity looks during an unusually busy year of film promotions and on the thicker public scrutiny of pregnant celebrities’ bodies.
