Anne Hathaway Debuts New Pixie Cut on Vogue China Cover

Anne Hathaway appears on the September cover of Vogue China sporting a sharply cut pixie that is markedly shorter than the long waves she has worn for the past decade. The look, captured by photographer Norman Jean Roy, features textured layers and sweeping bangs that give the impression of a wig, according to the styling team. The cover image pairs the haircut with a crisp white blazer trimmed in black, creating a minimalist yet striking visual.

The haircut was styled by Hathaway’s regular hairstylist Orlando Pita, while makeup artist Hung Vanggo provided a clean, minimalist glam and manicurist Mo Qin applied a neutral nude manicure. The shoot also showcases a Bulgari necklace from the Eclettica high-jewelry collection, described by the brand as centered around a 49-carat cushion-cut tanzanite stone surrounded by more than 4 carats of diamonds, lapis lazuli and turquoise.

Hathaway’s current pixie echoes the haircut she adopted in 2012 for the musical drama Les Misérables, when she shaved her hair to portray Fantine. After the film, her hair grew out into a longer pixie that she kept through the 2013 Oscars. The new cut retains the short-front emphasis of the 2012 style while adding extra length on top for versatile styling, according to the styling commentary.

The haircut debut coincides with Hathaway’s announcement, made in June, that she is expecting her third child. At 43 years old, she is simultaneously promoting the film The Odyssey, the upcoming Princess Diaries 3, and other projects such as The End of Oak Street. The timing places the cover shoot amid a busy summer of red-carpet appearances and press tours.

Industry observers note that the pixie’s punk-inspired edge aligns with a broader shift toward shorter, more structured haircuts for the fall season. The combination of a high-profile magazine cover, a celebrity pregnancy, and a nod to a memorable past look positions Hathaway’s new style as both a personal statement and a potential catalyst for upcoming hair trends.
