Long before she became a red-carpet fashion icon, Anne Hathaway showed off her playful, rebellious side at the 2004 Teen Choice Awards, held at the Universal Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.
A Playful Y2K Look
For the event, Hathaway opted for a relaxed, tongue-in-cheek outfit that perfectly captured the early 2000s aesthetic. She wore a cropped white graphic T-shirt reading “Fed Up” — a cheeky spin on the FedEx logo — paired with low-rise flared jeans. A chunky white studded belt cinched her waist, adding edge and attitude to the laid-back ensemble.
Effortlessly Youthful Vibes
With her dark hair worn loose in soft waves and minimal accessories, Hathaway embraced the casual, carefree vibe that defined many Y2K celebrity red carpets. The look was a departure from the elegant gowns she would later become known for, instead highlighting a playful approach to fashion at the height of her teen idol era.
A Star on the Rise
At the time, Hathaway was already a familiar face to young audiences, thanks to her breakout role in The Princess Diaries (2001) and her turn in Ella Enchanted (2004). Her Teen Choice Awards appearance reflected her connection with a younger fanbase while showcasing her evolving style — one that would eventually transform into sleek couture looks and high-fashion collaborations in the following decade.
