2009 Hot 100 Preview: ANNE HATHAWAY

It's hard to believe that Anne Hathaway is making our Hot List for the first time this year.

The actress has starred in several great films in the past few years, including The Devil Wears Prada and Brokeback Mountain, but it must have been her turn as the depressed sister of a happy bride in Rachel Getting Married that turned us onto her hotness in 2009.

The fact that she is a steadfast LGBT ally could also help, but we're sure it has a lot more to do with her talent at playing a normal woman while also managing to be exquisitely beautiful.

How does she do it?

Anne Hathway made it somewhere on out Hot 100 this year. Did you vote for her?

Ok. I give up

Another women who was not on my list. 

Ms Hathaway is beautiful and pretty but I don't see her as hot. I'm probably thinking lower end of the top 100 list. But maybe it's just me who thinks this.

Yeah I agree.

Yeah I agree.

Not hot to me but has potential

I have to agree with you but then the only movie I had ever really seen her in was "The Princess Diaries".  I recently watched "Rachel Getting Married" and have a newfound respect for her acting abilities.

No, you're not alone...

She doesn't do it for me. She's OK, but not hot.

Sorry for the gravity...

You're right, that is hard

You're right, that is hard to believe, she should have been on it before

She didn't make my top 10 but top 20 perhaps

Acidian, when you say you dont' see her as hot do you mean not crushworthy or just not hot.  I know its a hotlist but personally I vote for my crushes, like I'd vote Willow (or Alyson but I don't seem to crush on her much anymore) over say Sarah Shahi even though I know Sarah is technically hotter if its an L word sex scene say, but I'd never have a crush on Sarah so she wouldn't get close to my top 10 or even 20 whereas I have a huge crush on Willow so I'd vote her.  Is it just me doing this, do most people vote for someone they think is hot? or their crushes?

She hasn't been on the list before? ._.
Rocco's picture

Hot hot hot!

She was in my top 5. I think she is totally beautiful!
Nelle Thaler's picture

AH

I am ashamed to have forgotten her on my list!

I'm writing a note for next time. ;)

I'm  glad she finally made the list! And here you can see why ....

Gangly/dorky hot

She is the wonderful type of gangly/dorky hot.  Actually, I find that all of these pictures (except maybe the one with the white shirt) don't capture her spark.  If I had only seen the pictures of her posing in fancy dresses with tons of makeup on, I probably would not find her that attractive.  It is her personality plus her natural looks (e.g. her nose) that make her so appealing.
whippet's picture

Glad she made it!

It's great she's on the list!

For me, she definitely has the 'girl next door appeal' really. And before you say 'girl next door' doesn't equal hot... let's ponder how Jodie Foster got her start? Tomboy, girl next door cuteness! And who out there is going to say Jodie Foster isn't hot??

Granted, so far as I can tell, Hathaway hasn't quite/can't quite rock the 'tomboy' label. But then again, Before now, I wouldn't thought she'd be playing the not exactly charmingly flawed character she plays in Rachel Getting Married either. I look forward to seeing what she does next...

She did not make my top 10...

But do think she belongs on the list somewhere.

How could I forget her? She's totally adorible and gorgeous! :) 

peace and love *swack*

Vaya's picture

Dorky hot is right!

I've voted for her. She's a great ally, plus I've been reading a lot of great femslashy Devil Wears Prada fan fiction, and that certaily helped me open my eyes to her hotness.

first time

She was on my list for the first time this year, too.  I don't know what it says for the lesbian stereotype, but I think her change of character role into the bitchy, messed-up, bad girl was the impetus for many of us voting for her this year.  I know it was the case for me.  (*Sudden Cathartic Moment: OH MY GOD, no wonder I suck at relationships!!!!)

Yeah!

Mia Thermopolis!

She's so fucking beautiful.

 

moony's picture

Dang.

She sure is purty. 

I liked her in Get Smart, too.

sefv's picture

around the 50s

i think it was the white leather jacket that sold her in get smart, at least to me.
prisonisnotajoke's picture

she's GORGEOUS!

she was definitely in my top 10.
ice cream's picture

She's...

She's not hot...something about the lips...they only work on Angelina Jolie.  But I definitely like her.  She gives entertaining interviews and Rachel Getting Married was effing fabulous.  She was robbed by Kate Winslet.  Hathaway deserves every award ever invented for that role.
angela's picture

it depends

Anne Hathaway is one of those girls where you have to say, it depends on what she's doing to consider her hot. have you seen her in Havoc? hot. just cause she was playing a wild teen that wanted more out of life and did what she had to do. but Princess Diaries...not so hot. cause she was a highschool dork. so it really depends. i would say hot in Prada also. you look at her and have to think to yourself,hot or not? you cant throw out a hot like you do when you see Megan Fox or Lindsay. its weird.

Attractive?

She's really pretty, but I'm not attracted to her.

She's really pretty, but I'm not attracted to her.
iggy's picture

she is really hot

i think it's only cuz i hv this really hot girl who is always at my bus stop and looks exactly like anne. it's fascinating.
Pesto the Pirate's picture

I like her energy

She has great presence. When she in the screen and she starts talking, she'll get my immediate attention. 

She is pretty though.

She is TOTALLY HOT

Maybe not Monica Bellucci or Jordana Brewster hot, but pretty damn sexy in her own right
Cinematic_Sunrise's picture

Princess Mia! ^^

anne was in my top 5, she was actually one of the first that came to mind- i LOVE the princess diaries=] lordy she is hott, positively exquisite^-^ and those big brown eyes.. *swoon*

..If your stomach feels weak, then my work here is done..

art-a-miss's picture

definitely on my list!!!

i definitely voted for her!!

 

i feel that her performance in brokeback mountain was really underappreciated!

 

i guess it was because it was the boys' year

 

i cant believe that the boys over at afterelton have a bigger appretiation of this beautiful and talented lady than we lady lovers do!!

ooohbarracuda's picture

Meh.

I agree with the first few... she's not that hott, pretty, sure... hott... neh... sad thing is she's one of the top 3 "celebs" people say I look like. heh, oh' well.
Kat's picture

Finally, one from my top 10!

She was actually my number 10. I've loved her since Princess Diaries, but after Devil Wears Prada, Brokeback Mountain and Get Smart (I still need to see Rachel Getting Married), she went from top 25 to top 10. She's gorgeous. I love that she has that girl next door beauty and that cute dorkiness. :D
louisa's picture

she was on my list!

I love her! She's a perfect woman, in every single way.
strict machine's picture

cant believe i forgot her

she should have been on my top ten.  i even watched get smart because of her
Fia's picture

i do not

see it, i really don't. if anything she's kind of annoying
DaChickenLady's picture

I think she's pretty...

and the more she talks, the sexier she gets.  She has a quirky sense of humor and a lovely pesonality.  When she talks as the straight ally that she is, she is beautiful.
Reagan's picture

HOT

Can't believe so many people don't like Anne. To each their own, I suppose. She's a cutie in my book.
Cassidy's picture

I love her...

but she was not on my list. I think she's beautiful, but I never saw her as hot.

MizEloise's picture

lckynmbr9's picture

bride wars

The dance scene was worth it though.

MizEloise's picture

haha! fair enough

haha! fair enough
happytobenominated's picture

yum.

i think anne hathaway is gorgeous. she has that thing that i like-i can never exactly pin-point what it is-it isn't anything like hair colour or skin colour or anything obvious. but, whatever it is, that get's my goat, she's got it in bundles - for a long time too, since ellla enchanted.

so, i think it's true infatuation. lol

kt's picture

about Anne

She's elegant.. more so that 'HOT' but the first pic was a knock-out!
stephanie b's picture

Not on my top 10 but...

While I think Anne Hathaway is very pretty, I don't think of her as "hot." But I love her mouth. Her mouth is very sexy.
rawady's picture

Hum......

 some times cute and some times pretty......but she is never been hot to me....

But I love her performance! so talented.

c.r.a.z.y.'s picture

She's got something...

I agree with rawady...she's is definitely pretty...not hot...but she's got something. Can't quite figure it out yet. Can't wait to see "Rachel getting married".
