Anne Hathaway shares relatable selfie with pimple patches: 'A star just like us, say fans'

Anne Hathaway, known for her Oscar-winning role in Les Misérables, recently gave her fans a glimpse into her everyday life with a down-to-earth selfie. On August 30, 2024, the actress posted a photo on Instagram that showed her wearing two star-shaped pimple patches. In the caption, she playfully noted, “Stars, they’re just like us ️.”
In the photo, Hathaway was seen sitting in a vehicle, sporting the pimple patches along with a denim hat and sunglasses.This candid moment resonated with her nearly 35 million followers, many of whom appreciated the actress's relatable approach to skincare. One follower even commented, “See how she uses a star pimple patch instead of popping the pimple? Very demure, very mindful, very cutesy,” referencing the growing trend of using pimple patches as a gentler alternative to popping blemishes.
Hathaway’s selfie also brought back memories of a similar scene from her 2001 film The Princess Diaries. In that movie, her character Mia Thermopolis was shown ripping off a pore strip in a humorous moment that was both awkward and endearing. The comparison highlights Hathaway's consistent ability to blend charm and relatability in her public appearances.
This recent Instagram post is part of a series of relatable beauty and style moments from Hathaway this year. In June, she shared a beauty tip for achieving plump lips and wore breathable mesh ballet flats that inspired some of her fans to purchase similar ones. In August, she also showcased a comfortable yet stylish travel outfit that fans could replicate for a budget-friendly price of $26. Additionally, Hathaway’s enthusiastic dance moves at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show in Germany in July further endeared her to her followers by showcasing her fun side.
Hathaway’s next film, Flowervale Street, is set to be released in theaters on May 16, 2025. This new project is highly anticipated by fans who have enjoyed her previous work and continue to appreciate her genuine and relatable public persona.
