Exclusive: Wearing Dior and Valentino, Anna Wintour and Anne Hathaway Joined Forces to Present at the 2026 Oscars

There are at all times just a few shock cameos at the oscarsand the 2026 ceremony was no completely different. When it got here time to hand out the coveted Oscars for finest costume design and finest hair and make-up on Sunday night time, no much less an authority on style than Vogue Global Editorial Director Anna Wintour was joined onstage by Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathawaypresenting the awards to Frankenstein costume designer Kate Hawley and hair and make-up artists Mike Hill, Cliona Furey, Jordan Samuel, and Megan Many.

Needless to say, there have been bits aplenty. “Anna, just curious… what do you think of my dress tonight?” Hathaway requested, nervously—to which Wintour replied, merely and brutally: “And the nominees for best costume design are…” a playful reference to Hathaway’s function as a beleaguered style assistant in the 2006 movie The Devil Wears Prada. In case you have been questioning whether or not you imagined that ever-so-subtle TDWP reference, Wintour then stated “Thank you, Emily” to Hathaway, so…yeah, you have been proper!

Wintour wore Dior to the 2026 Oscars, whereas Hathaway was wearing a Valentino robe in a touching tribute to the recently deceased designer. Hathaway had a notably shut relationship with Valentino, attending his funeral in Rome in January and writing on Instagram shortly after his passing: “…He was…my dear and cherished friend who educated me, raised me, sent me flowers every year on my birthday, made me laugh, was my dancing and karaoke partner on so many joyful nights, and who made my world so much brighter, grander and more delightful than I could have ever understood it to be.”
