Overview
- Onstage at the 98th Academy Awards, Hathaway and Wintour jointly presented Best Costume to Frankenstein’s Kate Hawley and Best Makeup & Hairstyling to Mike Hill, Cliona Furey, Jordan Samuel and Megan Many.
- Their exchange echoed The Devil Wears Prada with Wintour’s deadpan pivot to the nominees and a closing “Thank you, Emily,” nodding to the film’s famous dynamic.
- Hathaway arrived in a Valentino haute couture gown from Alessandro Michele’s Specula Mundi collection, a choice framed as a tribute to the late designer.
- She paired the look with Bvlgari’s Neoclassical Starlight necklace featuring an 8.02‑carat fancy yellow pear diamond, a total diamond weight over 35 carats and reported 850 hours of craftsmanship, plus matching earrings.
- Wintour briefly appeared without her signature sunglasses during the bit, while Hathaway also handled presenting duties elsewhere in the show alongside Robert Downey Jr.
