The pregnant actress paired a translucent top with a built-in bump reveal, continuing a monthslong run of maternity looks during her Verity press tour.
Anne Hathaway appeared on "The Drew Barrymore Show" on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2026, wearing a semi-sheer maternity outfit engineered to expose the center of her growing belly, according to Page Six. The 43-year-old actor, who is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman, wore the look one day after attending the New York premiere of her new psychological thriller "Verity" at AMC Lincoln Square on Tuesday, Sept. 29.
A Sheer Top Built Around the Bump

Page Six described the television outfit as a semi-transparent top with fabric cascading open on both sides of Hathaway's abdomen, leaving the center of her stomach visible while the garment's structure did the styling work rather than a crop top or clingy silhouette. She paired the top with loose, airy trousers in a coordinated monochrome palette, creating what the outlet called a "built-in window" for her baby bump.
Hathaway kept accessories minimal, reportedly wearing small hoop earrings and several bangle bracelets but no necklace, according to Page Six. The restrained jewelry choice preserved the outfit's central visual contrast between sheer fabric, a flowing silhouette and the deliberately exposed section of her midsection, reinforcing a styling approach that has defined her pregnancy wardrobe throughout the year.
From the Red Carpet to Daytime Television
The Drew Barrymore Show appearance followed a considerably more formal outing one night earlier. For the Verity premiere on Sept. 29, Hathaway wore a black Atelier Prabal Gurung gown styled by longtime collaborator Erin Walsh, per People and Harper's Bazaar. The gown featured a strapless or sweetheart-neckline bodice, a fitted mermaid silhouette, crystal and floral embellishment, and a sparkling tulle or chiffon cape-like train extending from the shoulders, according to multiple accounts from People, Us Weekly and USA Today.
Reports differed slightly on the premiere's exact date, with USA Today and Yahoo citing Tuesday, Sept. 28, while People specifically identified the New York world premiere as occurring "on Tuesday, Sept. 29" — a detail corroborated by Vogue and Us Weekly's more precise sourcing. Coverage also noted Hathaway accessorized with diamond jewelry, including a bracelet and earrings, and wore her brunette hair partly up with understated makeup, according to Geo News.

A Pattern of Bump-Forward Maternity Style
The two looks extend a monthslong pattern in which Hathaway has used high-profile appearances to make her pregnancy a visible part of her styling rather than concealing it. At the "The End of Oak Street" premiere in August, Page Six reported she wore a Prabal Gurung high-low top with low-rise jeans that left part of her stomach exposed. In July, at the London premiere of Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," she wore a custom cerulean Dior gown that skimmed her bump, according to Page Six's roundup of celebrity maternity fashion.
Vogue characterized the sustained run of appearances as a deliberate "maternity style" moment, noting Hathaway has favored below-the-bump silhouettes, crop tops and bespoke gowns throughout what she has described as a five-film year. The pregnancy announcement itself came via a video revealing her bump while smiling at the camera, set to Barbara Lewis' song "Baby I'm Yours," and fell between her press campaigns for "The Devil Wears Prada 2" and "The Odyssey."
Verity's Release and What Comes Next
"Verity," an adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling 2018 novel, stars Hathaway alongside Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett, with the full cast and Hoover attending the New York premiere. The Amazon MGM Studios film is scheduled to open in theaters Oct. 2, 2026, just days after the premiere and Hathaway's television appearance. Vogue reported that guests at the premiere offered congratulations and gently touched Hathaway's stomach as she moved through the event, reflecting the atmosphere surrounding her visibly embraced pregnancy.
Page Six reported that Hathaway intends to pause professional commitments until filming begins on the action sequel to "Days of Thunder" alongside Tom Cruise next year, though the available coverage does not specify whether that timeline is tied to her pregnancy, childbirth or childcare plans. No due date, the baby's sex, or further details about her third pregnancy have been disclosed in the reporting, nor has a production schedule or release date emerged for the Cruise sequel. For now, the confirmed markers ahead remain "Verity's" Oct. 2 theatrical debut and Hathaway's anticipated return to work on the upcoming "Days of Thunder" follow-up.
