Anne Hathaway pokes fun at 'fake baby bump' theories
Anne Hathaway put her bump on full show in a custom Atelier Prabal Gurung crop top
Anne Hathaway has poked fun at those who suggested her baby bump didn't look real after a recent film premiere, telling them she had "fake hair, real bump".
The US actress turned heads in an outfit that showed off her bare bump at the launch of her new film, The End of Oak Street, in Los Angeles on Sunday.
It sparked a flurry of comments on social media, external from people saying "Why does it look fake?" and "Oh come on. That is not real." But others leapt to her defence, with one writing: "A lot of people in these comments have never seen a pregnant belly on someone who has abs."
Hathaway, 43, announced in June that she is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman.
Her growing bump has been evident as she has promoted The Odyssey in recent weeks, but it attracted greater attention thanks to her choice of outfit at the premiere for The End of Oak Street.
The bump was on full show in the custom Atelier Prabal Gurung crop top, which the designer described as a "sculptural high-low halter top with a cascading train". Hathaway paired the top with low-rise La Ligne jeans and red Aquazzura stilettos.
"Fake hair, real bump," the actress wrote on Instagram, external with a video of her getting ready and attending the premiere.
"Enjoy The @endofoakstreet Block Party chaos with me as my outfit literally melts in the heat!!"
As well as raising unfounded doubts about the bump, some people criticised the star's overall look on social media, calling it "ridiculous", "tacky" and "bizarre".
