Ever wonder where Angelina got her inspiration? Here at the 60th Annual Golden Globe Awards, Hathaway pre-dates the leggy look. We’re not 100 percent sold on the cut of this dress for her triangle body shape, but props to her for having the confidence to show off her stems.

At the Kennedy Center Honors Gala Dinner, Hathaway bravely shows off her extra cropped new ‘do (clipped thanks to her role in Les Miz). As she gears up for the long growing-out period ahead, she might want to stock her pantry with vitamin and mineral-rich beans, leafy, green vegetables, and nuts to help speed along the process.

How adorable does she look all movie star “off duty” at the Stella McCartney resort show in NYC? On her oval-shaped face, slightly cat-eyed, angular glasses make sense because in general, you want to aim for styles that are the opposite of your face shape.

Fast-forward one year post-hair cut at the “Les Miserables” world premiere and it all comes together—between being perfectly dressed in a stunning number that makes the most of her body type and the slimming, elegant side-swept hairstyle, she looks anything but tragic.
