Overview
- In a new Elle interview published May 21, Hathaway said the online rumors became “so loud” that she needed to set the record straight and insisted she has not had a facelift.
- She traced the look to a March Instagram styling clip in which her hairstylist Orlando Pita creates two hidden temple braids that are pulled back to lift the eye area.
- Hathaway called decisions about cosmetic surgery “huge medical decisions” and said the viral conversation was distracting while adding she “might still get a facelift someday,” so she did not rule out future procedures.
- Multiple outlets ran her remarks as the primary corrective account, and she said her preference is to avoid commenting on her appearance until speculation forced a response.
- Hair professionals quoted in coverage warned that replicating the braid-lift incorrectly can cause scalp tension, headaches, hair breakage, and damage to the hairline, turning a styling trick into a hair-health concern.
