Anne Hathaway’s Chainlink Jeans Are a Bold Take on the Cutout Denim Trend

Anne Hathaway is the latest celebrity to wade into the cutout denim trend, stepping out on July 9 in a pair of Area NYC jeans with a statement-making chainlink cutout running diagonally across the front.

The 42-year-old let her pants do the talking, styling them with a low key black racerback tank top, a blue dad cap, and black cowboy boots. Keeping with the monochromatic theme, she wore silver jewelry (a stack of silver cuffs and a silver beaded necklace) and what looks to be the Valentino Garavani VLogo bag, the chain handle matching the motif on her pants.

The actor was photographed in the statement-making look while out for a stroll in New York City with her husband of 13 years, Adam Shulman.

Hathaway joins a number of celebrities who have tried the cutout trend—which, by the way, is perfect for those hot, hot summer days, when regular old denim can be feel suffocating—including Taylor Swift, who wore a pair of butterfly cutout Area jeans a full two years ago, and Blake Lively, who wore a $19,000 Valentino pair of cutout floral jeans while promoting It Ends With Us last summer. Hathaway’s pair are down right affordable compared to Lively’s, as they’re currently on sale for $698.
