1
Hi, I'm Anne Hathaway and this is my life in looks.
2
This is one of those moments where it feels like a lifetime ago and like it happened yesterday, five minutes ago, I swear.
3
So I am 16 years old in this.
4
This was one of my first photo shoots ever, ever, ever.
5
It was, if I remember correctly, an issue of TV Guide.
6
They were doing the upcoming fall schedule, and I'd just been cast in my first ever television series called Get Real.
7
I played a character called Megan Green who was a rebellious valedictorian.
8
I chose these jeans.
9
I loved them.
10
I bought them, actually, after the shoot because I loved them so much and I wore them proudly.
11
I kept waiting for them to have their moment, and they didn't.
12
And so the years went on, and I eventually thought, okay, it's time to part with them, and I gave them away.
13
And the next year, Chloe came up with those beautiful patchwork jeans, which I actually wore to the idea of you premiere at South by Southwest as an homage to these very jeans.
14
So if you don't like both of them, I don't know what to say.
15
They make me smile and I love them.
16
Hello, princess!
17
This is the dress Princess Mia wears when she decides that she's going to accept the throne.
18
Why do we love a makeover montage?
19
I mean, why is the sky blue?
20
Why are we largely carbon-derived?
21
I have no idea.
22
It's a mystery.
23
These are questions that are bigger than me.
24
I don't know.
25
I don't know how to answer them, but I love them.
26
I think I love growth.
27
I think we all love growth, and I think that the makeover montage is the ancestress of TikTok, so clearly, wherever we love it, we just really, really, really do.
28
Oh my gosh, Ella Ephraim jumping over a barrel.
29
Sweet girl.
30
So this was one of the first days that we shot Ella Enchanted.
31
Ella, oh, she was a rebellious teen.
32
I'm realizing that I play a lot of rebellious teenagers, or I did at one point when I was one.
33
We filmed in Ireland.
34
We were kind of going for like a medieval, socially conscious hippie.
35
And I think we succeeded really well.
36
I loved this blue.
37
And it was the first time, my first experience with hair extensions, which I did not love as much as the blue.
38
Loved these boots, had them for years.
39
This is my character, Lorene Newsome, from Brokeback Mountain, directed by the master Ang Lee.
40
This is one of the films that changed my life.
41
I'd been a likable actress, a cute actress up to this point.
42
This was the first time I think I'd ever been considered a real actress, a dramatic actress.
43
At one point, it was Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams, Jake Gyllenhaal, and myself, and we were out to dinner.
44
I looked around and I realized that we were about to make a movie that was gonna be an extraordinary challenge and none of us were over 25.
45
I just remember feeling like we'd just been entrusted with something really important.
46
I don't know, I still get chills.
47
I remember every second of making this film.
48
I loved her so much.
49
I loved her so much.
50
And I just thought this rodeo queen princess type who had a surprisingly steely, tough, rhinestone quality to her.
51
She was an incredibly special character.
52
I made up a whole story about how my father, for every one of my birthdays, would always buy me a piece of jewelry that was kind of horseshoe themed.
53
So just looking at that, oh, I picked that belt, but we picked...
54
Just everything was chosen with such care.
55
And I really appreciate how beautifully my scarf is tied.
56
Well, well, well, well, well.
57
I see that I am wearing the Chanel boots.
58
Gosh, it's so funny because the last time I saw this outfit was like on a meme.
59
People send me this one all the time.
60
And the last meme I saw was somebody being like, are you wearing the, and it's the armor from the 1992 Bram Stoker's Dracula?
61
Yes, yes I am.
62
So this is Andy Sachs in her post-makeover scene from The Devil is Prada, which was designed by the one and only, the legend, the eternal, the goddess Patricia Field.
63
I feel like part of the reason why The Devil is Prada has such enduring power is because of the brilliance of the costume choices, and that's all Pat.
64
So a lot of people want to know, did I know that The Devil Wears Prada was going to be what it was?
65
If you'd asked me at the time, well, actually, no, I'm thinking back to who I was at the time, I would have said, yeah.
66
I absolutely would have said, yeah.
67
And then I think I would have been more careful as I got older, and now I'm back to saying, yeah, I did.
68
It was a feeling.
69
I mean, I didn't know how to prove the feeling, and I didn't realize that it would actually take 20 years for that feeling to become undeniable.
70
I was getting ready for a Michael Kors fashion show while I had just recently gotten my bangs back.
71
And as I was going out the door, I thought, oh, that's funny.
72
I kind of look like Andy, kind of.
73
But I didn't think anything of it.
74
And then I showed up, and then I realized I was sitting next to Anna, and everybody was kind of looking at us.
75
And I thought, I think maybe I look a lot like Andy right now.
76
Within minutes, literally, of the fashion show, I found out that, yes, I had looked a lot like Andy.
77
I think the most important thing in life is a great sense of humor.
78
I think Anna has a fabulous sense of humor, and I was thrilled that we could enjoy that moment together.
79
Well, that's lovely.
80
That's lovely.
81
That's just a lovely, beautiful Prada dress.
82
That was the night I won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for my performance in Les Miserables.
83
When I look at this, the thing I'm just struck by is how much love that the people in my immediate circle surrounded me with in that moment.
84
I'm just remembering the love.
85
If I'm really honest, it was a complicated time for a lot of different reasons that I don't want to go into, but I remember that moment feeling super pure, super beautiful, and I just made sure to like earmark that moment.
86
I'm just like, when you look back, this is what matters.
87
This is the part to remember.
88
This is Dr.
89
Amelia Brand in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar.
90
I was actually just talking about this the other day because the costume was very heavy, and I asked to try it on, and I got asked to, I'd like to test it in water before I have to, there's a sprint sequence in it.
91
And so I got taken to a pool and I ran about 20 yards and I said, that's enough.
92
I know everything I need to know.
93
And I went straight out and bought a weighted vest.
94
And I spent the next, I think, eight weeks just running up and down trails in LA, just trying to build up my stamina and my strength to be able to bear the weight of that.
95
There's a physical component to filmmaking that I think people often misunderstand.
96
There's a grit that you need.
97
And granted, there's like also craft service and like people give you water and ask if you're okay all the time.
98
So it's a balance.
99
But you do need to have steeliness.
100
You do need to be willing to go that extra mile.
101
It's an amazing art form.
102
And it's something that you truly can turn yourself inside out for.
103
And that's all I just wanted to say was it was a pleasure to get to run across Iceland in this spacesuit in mid-thigh height water.
104
Again and again and again and again as many times as Chris needed.
105
What's confusing about the ending?
106
Love.
107
Love.
108
The ending is love.
109
I don't know.
110
I mean, the ending, the whole film is a feeling and the idea that physics is poetic and emotional as well.
111
Hello.
112
This was a very, very, very special moment for me.
113
Pierre Paolo invited me to the show and I was able to sit next to my dear, dear friend Giancarlo Giametti at the event.
114
This was the beginning of the pink moment.
115
And I went to my fitting and there were a few other looks, but as soon as I put this one on, I knew that it was perfect.
116
I love this moment of heels.
117
I love a very high platform heel.
118
It's a happy place for me.
119
I did not fully think about the cobblestones.
120
This is one of my favorite dresses of all time.
121
I know you're not supposed to have favorites.
122
It's like children, but this one was really, really special.
123
It was a magnificent garment.
124
I wish you could see the insides of it.
125
way it was constructed was just incredible.
126
Literally everything that comes out of Donatella's mouth deserves to be remembered forever.
127
One of my favorite things that she ever said was, we were taking a photo, I think it was maybe from one of our ad campaigns together, and someone said they needed to get an approval for something, and she looked at them and deadpanned, I approve.
128
And she was like, what more do you need?
129
She has so much power, not just because of the Versace name, but who she is.
130
She herself as an individual has so much power and the way she uses it, the way she brings people closer together, the way she tweets people like family, her level of thoughtfulness.
131
She's just, she's a wonderful person.
132
I feel really lucky that we, that we're in each other's lives.
133
This is so nice.
134
So this is Ralph Lauren.
135
This was a CFDA Fashion Awards, which I, I was a last minute replacement for Sarah Jessica Parker.
136
It was a big night for American fashion, so I really wanted to wear an American designer.
137
It's always very fun when you go to one of these events that, you know, the room is full of fashion people who don't hide the fact that you walk in and they just go, and they look you up and down.
138
I mean, it's Ralph, and it's, oh my gosh.
139
I'm just remembering the feeling of the fabric now.
140
You have no idea how soft this denim was.
141
I don't know what it is about me, but my memory is triggered by what people wear and what I've worn.
142
We're back in Ralph Lauren.
143
So this is outside of the 92nd Street Y for the producers panel that I was invited to attend because I was a producer on the idea of you.
144
This is archival Ralph Lauren.
145
It is a leather three piece suit, which are all things that I love.
146
I love a three piece suit.
147
This always reminds me because when I got the Princess Diaries, I decided I wanted to buy myself a treat and I bought myself a pair of leather pants.
148
When I chose this outfit, it felt like another first for me.
149
I've never produced something at the level of the idea of you.
150
I mean, my goodness, when I think back some of the directors that I've named as we've gone through these, I've gotten to learn from the best.
151
And so what I hope to do as a producer is, I don't know, make those people look really good.
152
Acting is not a solo sport.
153
It's a team sport.
154
To do your part in contributing to a world that does not rely on rigid dogma, but actually is able to be present, to take in the truth of someone else with curiosity and respect.
155
That's what power means to me.
156
And the idea that you are skilled enough, that you've developed your skill set enough, that it mattered enough to you to really apply yourself to learn.
157
So that way you can say, and I can do that with precision.
158
You can count on me.
159
I love being able to say that with confidence.
160
I have taken my craft seriously.
161
I've learned a great deal.
162
And you can trust me.
163
Let's see what happens next.
164
You asked me before, was there anything I wanted to say?
165
Look at how many pages I still get to fill.
166
Thank you so much.
167
That's my life in looks.
168
Thank you.

This video offers an engaging opportunity for English speaking practice, focusing on personal storytelling, vivid descriptions, and reflective language.

Pay close attention to her use of past tenses to narrate events, express opinions, and describe feelings and experiences, which are crucial for effective communication.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases
- A lifetime ago / Five minutes ago I swear: A contrasting pair of phrases Anne uses to describe how some past events feel both incredibly distant and surprisingly recent. Great for discussing memories and the passage of time.
- Had their moment: Refers to something that gained popularity, attention, or success for a period. For example, "Those jeans never *had their moment*."
- An homage to: (pronounced "om-ahj") A special show of respect or honor. Anne mentions wearing new jeans as "an homage to these very jeans."
- Makeover montage: A sequence in a film where a character undergoes a transformation, often shown quickly with music. Anne humorously refers to it as the "ancestress of TikTok."

Practice Tips for This Video
To maximize your English speaking practice with this video, focus on these specific techniques:
- Shadowing Technique: Anne Hathaway speaks with a clear, articulate American accent at a moderate pace, but her speed can increase when she's expressing excitement or a strong opinion. Use the shadowing technique to mimic her pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm. Pay attention to how she naturally pauses and emphasizes certain words for dramatic effect. This is fantastic for boosting your natural speech patterns.
- Narrative Flow: Anne is a master storyteller. Observe how she connects different events and ideas, often jumping between past and present reflections. Practice retelling some of her anecdotes in your own words, focusing on using a variety of past tenses and transition words to improve your own narrative flow and coherence. This skill is vital for formal contexts and exams like IELTS speaking.
- Descriptive Language: She uses rich, evocative language to describe costumes, characters, and emotions (e.g., "rebellious valedictorian," "medieval socially conscious hippie," "super pure, super beautiful"). Pause the video and try to describe the outfits or film scenes she mentions using your own vocabulary, then compare it to her descriptions. This is excellent for expanding your descriptive vocabulary and for improving your pronunciation practice of multi-syllabic words.
- Expressing Emotion & Opinion: Notice how Anne conveys enthusiasm, nostalgia, or thoughtfulness through her tone and word choice. Practice repeating sentences where she expresses strong feelings, trying to match her emotional delivery. This will help you sound more natural and expressive when speaking English, making your conversations more engaging.
Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
