Anne Hathaway merged the Greek mythology-inspired bent of her “The Odyssey” press tour wardrobe with maternity wear in a custom GapStudio dress for her “Late Night With Seth Meyers” appearance on Monday night in New York City. Anne Hathaway TheStewartofNY/GC Images The Oscar-winning actress, who was styled by Erin Walsh, wore a long, dramatic, ethereal dress in an off-white charmeuse bias-cut design with a fluid draping element. The dress was overlaid with a sheer tunic tank, cut with clean, elongated lines for an airy aesthetic. While the dress certainly echoed the unofficial Grecian-inspired dress code of “The Odyssey” press tour, the dress also mirrored current trends like modern minimalism. Hathaway added the sea wave wedge by Aquazzura to her look, along with earrings by Bulgari, for which she serves as an ambassador. The actress i...

“The Odyssey” is just days away from arriving in theaters, and its press tour has already created plenty of fashion headlines. Grecian-inspired styling has been the unofficial dress code for the stars promoting the film, including Charlize Theron, who has worn Dior, Givenchy and Tom Ford, among other designers, throughout the tour.

She may have been channeling her character, the sea nymph Calypso, all along. Who Does Charlize Theron Play in ‘The Odyssey’?

Like many Millennials, costume designer Mitchell Travers grew up with “Little House on the Prairie.” Watching repeat episodes of the original TV series from the ’70s and reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books for school, Travers developed a deep appreciation for the expansive representation of pioneer life that Wilder created on the page.  Now, Travers is part of that story through his work on a new screen adaptation courtesy of Netflix. After meeting with showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine, Travers was quickly sold on the opportunity to put his own mark on the fabric of Wilder’s world.  “My initial conversations with Rebecca let me know how expansive she wanted this world to be, and that it wasn’t just a simple story in tall grass,” says Travers. “It was about a family who was very creative, and was able to make things with their hands.” Travers, whose varied costume projects include “In the Heights” and “Hustlers,” rooted his approach to the cos...
