ANNE HATHAWAY LAUGHS IN THE FACE OF AGING

Anne Hathaway looked beautiful in beige as she attended the One Day premiere after party at the Russian Tea Room in New York City on Monday (August 8).

After rocking the red carpet in a dramatic gold and black Alexander McQueen dress, the big screen beauty went understated as she joined co-star Jim Sturgess for an evening of celebration.

Meanwhile, Anne says she’s one Hollywood star who’s wearing her age like a badge of honor.

“I find the passing of time very liberating,” says the actress, who turns 29 in November. “I feel more confident every, well not every single day, but most days I feel better than I did the day before, and that’s a good thing.”

Anne says she feels a sense of freedom about approaching 30.

“For every generation where traditional rules don’t apply, you don’t have to have things figured out by 22 and have four kids by the time you’re 30,” say Anne, who’s single but dating and has no children. “We have a lot more time to figure out who we are.”

Case in point, Miss Hathaway says: Meryl Streep, the 62-year-old Oscar winner.

“We have pioneers that show us there’s no reason to be afraid, and I just think fear (of aging) is something that we perpetuate,” says Anne. “Who needs it?”

One Day, based on the best-selling novel by David Nicholls, follows the romantic journey of two best friends over 20 years.
