The secret to Anne Hathaway’s vitality lies in a ritual that’s simple (and works!)

There are actresses who defy time, and then there is Anne Hathaway, a woman who looks as if she’s figured out how to slip past it with grace. When the trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 dropped recently, I couldn’t believe how incredible Anne Hathaway looks.

The first time I watched her play the clumsy assistant was nearly twenty years ago, and it feels like she hasn’t changed at all since. The answer to her fantastic appearance may partly lie in the offices of certain doctors, but still, Andy… pardon, Anne… is well known for her beauty and well-being rituals that are surprisingly easy to incorporate into everyday life.

And I don’t mean the usual smoothie tips and clean-eating advice. Anne, along with her personal trainers, has shared several times what helps her feel and look her best. Below are the habits that stood out to me the most.

Anne Hathaway’s Well-Being Practices

1 / She works out every morning

Although she goes through phases when she skips workouts, she generally sticks to her morning exercise rule. She usually sets aside about an hour a day, but she doesn’t rely on just one type of activity. Variety matters to her, so her routine includes pilates, yoga, resistance training, and balance- and core-focused movements. That one hour makes a big difference in maintaining her vitality.

2 / A fun warm-up

While looking into Anne Hathaway’s wellness and well-being habits, I came across one I’m very ready to adopt. Before any workout, the body needs to warm up — and according to Anne, the best and most enjoyable option is dancing. Dancing not only prepares the body for physical effort, it also boosts your mental state, especially on days when motivation is low. Which makes it a brilliant choice for warming up.

3 / No time for puffiness or dehydration

I’ve noticed Anne Hathaway has a special soft spot for two brands: Shiseido and 111Skin. She often relies on the Cryo De-Puffing Eye Mask to reduce puffiness, while the Shiseido Vital Perfection LiftDefine Radiance Face Mask contributes to her skin’s glow and smoothness. Hydration is essential, and for that she relies on Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Hyaluronic Serum — a long-time favorite among celebrities.

4 / Walking is essential

As we sometimes see on her social media, walking is an important part of her well-being routine. Whether she does it for her mental health or not isn’t really the point — a change of scenery, time spent in nature, and mindful walking are incredibly beneficial both physically and mentally.
