They say the little black dress is a capsule wardrobe must-have for a reason, and any time I consider chucking out my thrifted mini, someone—say, Anne Hathaway—changes my mind. The Devil Wears Prada actress was spotted in one such dress on Thursday while exiting Manhattan’s Soho House with her husband Adam Shulman.
The couple, who’ve been married for nine years, were photographed holding hands during a romantic date night in the Meatpacking District. Dressed in a black LBD, translucent black tights, and knee-high patent leather boots, with a quilted black clutch and a black-and-white herringbone overcoat, Hathaway looked radiant as she took a break from her numerous upcoming projects. The actress was recently photographed on the set of both Armageddon Time, which takes place in the ’80s, and the TV series WeCrashed, in which Hathaway plays WeWork co-founder Adam Neumann’s wife, Rebekah Neumann.

The date night appearance is one of the first times Hathaway has been spotted off set in a while, though she revealed in a March 2021 interview with Glamour UK that the pandemic has taught her a new work-life balance that focuses on mental health.
“I really discovered a new level of gentleness with myself and with other people,” she told the outlet. “I’ve always been very driven and I still am, but I think sometimes the way that I would get myself motivated, it wasn’t always the healthiest approach and the most gentle approach. I just feel like I’m just softer with myself. My understanding of what it means to be a human being has expanded. I used to seek to define myself by my best days, and now I don’t do that anymore. I accept all of it. And certainly in the beginning of lockdown, I was putting all this pressure on myself to be fine.”
Part of that transformation, Hathaway has stated repeatedly, can be attributed to her husband, Shulman. “He changed my ability to be in the world comfortably,” Hathaway told ELLE during an interview for its April 2017 issue. “I’m a different human than I was [before]… I think the accepted narrative now is that we, as women, don’t need anybody. But I need my husband. His unique and specific love has changed me.”
