split from Jason Trawick back in January

Hathaway appeared only briefly in Les Mis, but captivated audiences and the Academy with her powerful portrayal of Fantine, a young mother who turns to prostitution to support her daughter. The actress concluded her acceptance speech with a wish that someday, misfortunes like Fantine’s ‘will only be found in stories and nevermore in real life.’

 Meanwhile, offstage, Hathaway’s nipples emerged as the 2013 Oscars equivalent of Angelina Jolie’s right leg.We’ve all been there - after a break up you want a change, you need ‘closure’. And when it comes to appearance what’s a more dramatic, brave and empowering beauty change than transforming your hair? Newly single Britney Spears (she split from Jason Trawick back in January) arrived at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar party last night sporting – no, not a buzz cut - but shiny new chocolate brown hair. The colour swap makes Britney’s hazelnut eyes really pop and by opting for nude lipstick and subtly smoky eyes it made for a sophisticated look. Britney looks unrecognisable, in fact we did a double take when we saw this picture. What do you think of her new hair? We think she looks pretty happy with her new ‘do... Almost as soon as the ELLE cover star stepped onto the Oscars red carpet, viewers noted that the bodice darts on her pale pink Prada gown highlighted her… well, you know.

 Within minutes, someone launched a Twitter account called @HathawayNipples, amassing nearly 2,000 followers within an hour. Hathaway’s dress choice divided fans who expected the actress to wear another Valentino gown. When Valentino announced its red-carpet lineup on Sunday afternoon, brand representatives said that Hathaway, Sally Field and Jennifer Aniston would all wear Valentino couture to entertainment’s biggest event. Instead, Hathaway opted for the slim Prada gown. ‘I didn’t know what I was wearing until about three hours ago,’ she said on the red carpet. ‘This was the one that spoke to me in the end.’ Collecting the Oscar for best supporting actress for her portrayal of Fantine in Les Miserables, Hathaway thanked the Academy, her team and husband Adam Shulman. ‘By far and away the greatest moment of my life was the one when you walked into it. I love you so much,’ she said.Anne Hathaway, nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for her performance in Les Miserables, also wore powder pink. ‘My mom says it’s business in the front, party in the back,’

 she said of her satin Prada dress, twirling to display a revealing back. Charlize Theron continued the bridal theme in a white strapless Dior gown, while Kristen Stewart accessorised her Reem Acra gown with crutches, due to an unidentified injury. Sally Field, Kerry Washington and Jennifer Aniston brightened the red carpet in crimson gowns. Asked if she felt like a princess in her red Valentino gown, Aniston said, ‘In this thing, I do. I feel this is very The King and I.’ Best Actress nominee Jessica Chastain looked every inch the Hollywood star in a coppery Armani Prive gown. ‘It’s a very “Happy birthday, Mr President” dress,’ she said on the red carpet. Armani also dressed nominee Naomi Watts, who shimmered in a steel-grey gown, and Quvenzhane Wallace.

 The youngest Best Actress nominee in history accessorised her Armani Junior gown with a puppy-shaped handbag. Although she couldn't say who designed the bag, it elicited more smiles and coos than just about anything else on the red carpet.
