May has already been a big month for Hathaway, whose Prime Video movie The Idea of You just debuted on May 2. On May 3, Hathaway gushed on Instagram about her experience filming the rom-com, which has received great reviews from critics:

She also spoke to V in an interview published in late April about why she doesn’t actually consider herself a fashion person. “I really don’t,” she said. “I view myself more as a guest.”

She elaborated her stance, saying, “I think it’d be an insult to someone whose education revolved around it, whose life revolves around it, who has done a full fashion cycle in multiple cities as opposed to just, like, getting invited to a show and an after-party. I think there’s a degree of stamina and schlepping involved in being a proper fashion person. I’m very grateful to be a guest. I mean, I’ve studied it, but it’s informal. I’m aware of the history. I love fashion photography. And I’ve been welcomed for a long time and been shown great kindness and generosity by people whose lives it is. But I’m an actress first.”
