Création de la leçon...
1
I saw that like half of the dance floor had their phones out.
2
And I was like, well, hello.
3
And then I looked at my other side.
4
I'm like, oh, everyone's filming this.
5
I'm Anne Hathaway.
6
And this is the clothes of our lives.
7
The pieces I have, I tend to wear a lot.
8
They're very well loved.
9
You might think it's the closet of somebody who's in a boy band, but then who likes dressing like Hailey Bieber on the weekends.
10
Oh, gosh.
11
Okay, this is the Princess Diaries premiere, which was at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles.
12
I am wearing Calvin Klein.
13
I was fit for it at the Calvin Klein showrooms.
14
I contacted Calvin Klein myself and explained who I was and that I had a premiere coming up.
15
Such a bridge and tunnel nobody.
16
And they treated me with so much respect and kindness, and they let me so many clothes for this press tour.
17
And the one thing that I forgot, I'm not wearing sunscreen.
18
So in this picture, I am getting sunburned, which you can see in later photos from after the movie at the after party.
19
But I still have this dress.
20
I keep some of my kind of most treasured outfits in a special spot, and this is one of them.
21
I did not keep those shoes in great condition.
22
I wore those to death.
23
I wore those into the ground.
24
They are dust now.
25
Well, okay.
26
I mean, this is memorable in so many Anyways, this maybe is one that I wish I could forget, but it's memorable.
27
So what are you going to do?
28
This is a Matthew Williamson dress.
29
This is a Marnie jacket, I think.
30
This was the Balenciaga City bag that everybody had.
31
I got my hands on one.
32
It was this green.
33
I wore it with everything.
34
These shoes, they were white.
35
They were perforated.
36
I think I wore these shoes for two years straight.
37
I wore them with absolutely everything.
38
I thought they were chic, chic, chic.
39
Now, you would have thought that that was enough.
40
You would have been like, that's enough outfit.
41
but it was 2003, so of course, if you wore a dress, you put it over jeans.
42
I will say that I think these jeans are cool.
43
The hemline at the bottom is really awesome, and I actually think that they're back in fashion, so maybe I can find them.
44
This is an iconic Andy Sachs look.
45
I love this outfit.
46
This is Andy Sachs in Paris throwing her phone into the fountain.
47
The outfit is Louis Vuitton.
48
In this picture, it looks black.
49
It is the most exquisite shade of, like, beetle green.
50
It's so beautiful.
51
When the light hits it, it goes green-black.
52
There's like some beautiful dark russet in there.
53
It's unbelievable.
54
When you look at the scene that Andy wears this in, when she's with Miranda Priestly in the town car at the end, they're both wearing the same neckline.
55
I didn't notice that the entire time we were filming.
56
It wasn't until I saw the movie, and I just thought, oh, Patricia Velt, she is so brilliant, to suggest that somebody was morphing into someone else and unconsciously mimicking their style.
57
And we shot this in Paris.
58
I got to go to Paris, you guys.
59
I was 23.
60
Andy Sachs, the original closet, or Andy Sachs, the sequel closet.
61
Oh, gee, baby.
62
There was an inexplicable amount of Chanel.
63
She was an assistant, and she wore head-to-toe Chanel.
64
Also, I'm just, I'm always a fan of vintage, and I think up-tycling is chic, so I'd probably go with that.
65
Oh, I love this dress.
66
Oh my gosh.
67
I think this is my first ever Met Gala.
68
And I'm wearing Marc Jacobs, speaking of icons.
69
And it is the most beautiful little mini dress.
70
Even though I'd made the Devil Wears Prada, I still hadn't quite clicked in that I should probably, like, put together a closet, get some accessories going for myself.
71
And so the stylist asked me if I had shoes.
72
And I was like, oh, no. And I said, well, maybe I do.
73
And I pulled out, like, a pair of tired black shoes and she's like, no, no, no, let me see what I can do.
74
And either she worked for Port Le Victoire or her boyfriend did or someone, I don't remember, but those shoes are Port Le Victoire.
75
They were so comfortable and I just wore them on dance floors for years because they were absolutely amazing.
76
Love my nails.
77
Love a gothy, dark, dramatic nail.
78
And I just love my big supermodel blowout.
79
This is one of the greatest movies, roles, costumes, whatever one of the most beloved projects I've ever been a part of.
80
Here I am as Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises.
81
I got to do so many unbelievable things when I was training for this.
82
I got to learn how to jump off of a building.
83
I got to learn how to do a backflip out of a window on a Christopher Nolan set, playing this part that was a dream come true.
84
Such an unbelievably happy time.
85
I loved it.
86
I do regret not keeping a pair of gloves, at least.
87
That would have been a very, very, very chic thing to just have laying there.
88
Somewhere in my office or my closet.
89
I got to play this part.
90
I will remember it forever and that should be enough for me But my grandchildren might not feel the same way inshallah.
91
Oh pretty in Prada.
92
Look at that.
93
I won an Oscar.
94
Luckiest girl in the world.
95
How about that?
96
This was the beautiful Prada that I got to wear when I won an Oscar for Les Miserables.
97
I had shaved my head for the role so I've got an adorable little pixie.
98
Shortly after this picture was taken began the grow-out phase, which was not cute.
99
My hair is either like good shaved or down to my waist.
100
Anything in between is kind of like meh.
101
The grow up phase took the better part of a decade.
102
Let's not go back.
103
Oh my gosh, I love this outfit.
104
I had so much fun.
105
This was such a fun night out in Paris.
106
And Adam and I were so lucky, we're parents.
107
We have two young kids, but we had a stolen weekend in Paris
108
and we got to go to the Valentino Couture show that Pierre Paolo had invited us to.
109
I got to go to their beautiful showroom
110
and this was waiting for me on a hanger and the tights were so beautiful.
111
They were a little hard to stand in, but I didn't care because I felt fierce.
112
And it was just a fantastic night.
113
I think we all wound up on the dance floor and Pierre Paolo came home and we were talking.
114
And then at a certain point he just goes, I'm so sorry, I can't be here.
115
It's not right, it's not right that there's a rope here.
116
There's not, we should be, we should be out there.
117
I'm gonna go out there.
118
I said, well, of course, you're absolutely right.
119
And I should be out there too.
120
So we went out there and we were dancing
121
and the song was so good and the vibe was
122
so lovely that I just like kind of closed my eyes and started dancing.
123
And when I looked up, I saw that like half of the dance floor had their phones out.
124
And I was like, well, hello.
125
And then I looked at my other side, I'm like, everyone's filming this and I'm just like, oh well, that's life.
126
And so I just kept dancing, everybody kept dancing, we're dancing and filming and it was just, it was lovely.
127
Oh my God, this Claudia Schiffer's Versace that I got to wear one night.
128
I was Donatella Versace's guest to the Albies,
129
which is George Clooney and Amal Clooney's foundation that honors courage and leadership in journalism.
130
This was a beautiful dress that Donatella asked me to wear.
131
I believe it came right off the runway.
132
Claudia Schiffer wore it like 24 hours before or something terribly glamorous like that.
133
Donatella makes her friends her family.
134
And so being friends with Donatella means you get invited over for dinner.
135
You just have these really meaningful conversations.
136
The people that are around her have been in her life for years and years, if not decades and decades.
137
I'm so grateful for our relationship.
138
This was a good night.
139
This was the Versace fashion show that took place on a rooftop in Los Angeles.
140
This is a crocodile effect dress made out of patent leather.
141
It's a miniskirt with very, very, very high boots.
142
I love a platform.
143
This was, I think, maybe one of the first times I wore sunglasses on the red carpet.
144
And the truth is is that I wasn't sure about the lighting.
145
So I decided to just control it myself.
146
But then it kind of looked good, so now I do it more.
147
I mentioned before about Donatella.
148
Donatella is so beloved.
149
You can't even imagine it.
150
It's actually hard to describe.
151
So this show was supposed to happen on like one date, and then all of a sudden the forecast was for the most torrential rain
152
that LA had seen in like 10 years or something like that.
153
So Versace basically called up everyone that came to the show, and it was quite a list of people, and was like, we have to move it to this night.
154
Every single person said yes they said for donatella anything
155
and these are people with like very intense schedules everybody dropped what they were doing
156
and made sure that they showed up for donatella
157
because she is just that special and she is just
158
that extraordinary this was a beautiful night in rome for one
159
of bulgari's high jewelry couture shows i am lucky enough to be a bulgari ambassador
160
and so i get to go to things like that And this dress is a Zak Posen for The Gap.
161
It's just a beautiful white shirt dress.
162
And just knowing that I was going to be wearing such a beautiful, exquisite necklace, we wanted something very,
163
very simple to balance it out because we knew we were going to be in a garden.
164
I remember when it arrived, I put it on, and I thought, well, I thought it was maybe a little bit cooler in the fitting.
165
And then I realized that I had it on inside out and that all the seams were meant to show, Which is very different of course, and garments don't really want to keep that hidden, but this one was about kind of deconstructing it.
166
Oh, there she is.
167
This is an Ellen Mirajnik original.
168
Oh my goodness.
169
In this image, I play Penelope, the wife of Odysseus and the Queen of Ithaca, mother of Telemachus.
170
I can't tell you anything about this outfit because it's all under lock and key, but I am holding a very significant object.
171
Very important to the story of Homer's Odyssey.
172
If any of you have read it, you might notice what I'm holding.
173
The craft that went into making these garments was so breathtaking, because they were all made by hand.
174
Every single pleat, that was all handmade by a single woman.
175
And Penelope is a queen.
176
She had a lot of gowns, and the detailing work on it was just remarkable.
177
What Ellen Mirajnik did that I thought was
178
so extraordinary was she was able to take these really classic silhouettes
179
that we think that we're familiar with and find the modern edge to it, to find something to say.
180
As you'll see when the film comes out, Penelope wears a lot of bright colors.
181
She wears a lot of kind of elaborate hair design.
182
I didn't know exactly why we were doing it that way, but I knew it was the right thing.
183
And then one day during filming very near the end of my section, I just went, oh my gosh, I know exactly why Penelope does this.
184
Penelope wears bright colors and fixes her hair beautifully because she is not in mourning
185
and because every day could be the day that Odysseus comes home.
186
Even without words, Ellen Mirajnik knew that and she dressed me so splendidly and I am so grateful.

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.
