Anne Hathaway’s viral Gap red carpet gown is now available online
Gap has created a limited edition version of the custom white shirtdress that actress Anne Hathaway wore to the Bulgari Aeterna High Jewellry event in Rome earlier this month.
Designed by Gap Inc.’s creative director Zac Posen, The Poplin White Shirtdress is a reinvented take on Gap’s iconic white shirt made from 100% organic cotton.
“Designing this custom white shirt dress was an exciting opportunity to reimagine Gap’s classic white shirt,” Posen, who joined the company in February, said. “By incorporating elements like the shirt’s collar and placket, and adding feminine touches with darting at the waist, we created a modern look that pays homage to the elegance of Audrey Hepburn in ‘Roman Holiday.’ It’s a connection of timeless style with contemporary fashion.”
After decades as one of the most beloved retailers in the U.S. and an emblem of American fashion and style, Gap has been struggling for years. Posen was appointed EVP and creative director of Gap Inc. (overseeing design across Gap, Banana Republic, Athleta and Old Navy) with the hope that he can “reinvigorate” the brands and turn the business around.
Posen made his Gap red carpet debut in April with another custom red carpet gown (this time in denim) designed for Da’Vine Joy Randolph at the Met Gala. “I’m proud to represent Gap Inc.on a world stage like the Met Gala, where fashion meets entertainment to shape the cultural conversation,” he said in a statement.
The Poplin White Shirtdress is available for presale now exclusively online at Gap.com in sizes 00-16 and retails for $158. Orders will begin shipping in July.

“Mickalene Thomas: All About Love” opens at The Broad
A new touring special exhibition “Mickalene Thomas: All About Love,” has opened at The Broad in downtown Los Angeles. Running through Sept. 29, this is the first major international tour of the pioneering artist’s work.
Co-organized by the Hayward Gallery, London, and The Broad, Los Angeles in partnership with the Barnes Foundation, the exhibit includes over 80 works made by the artist over the last 20 years and highlights how Thomas mastered and innovated within several disciplines, from mixed-media painting and collage to installation and photography. The exhibition shares its title and several of its themes with the pivotal text by feminist author Bell Hooks, in which love is an active process rooted in healing, carving a path away from domination and towards collective liberation.
“Mickalene Thomas’ visionary artistic practice presents an unapologetic focus on Black female representation, amplifying portraiture’s capacity to capture authentic lived experience and relationships,” Joanne Heyler, founding director of The Broad, said. “Thomas’ work, while pushing conventional boundaries of technique and material, touches all aspects of culture and society, from notions of beauty to sexuality and politics, powerfully bringing visibility to those who have historically been excluded and marginalized in art history.”
The themes of the exhibition extend into a full slate of associated programming developed in collaboration with the artist, including a summer concert series and in-gallery programs centering women and Black and queer communities.

Delving deeper into the works belonging to the collection of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris, this exhibition explores his drawing practice through original sketches, alongside photographs, jewelry accessories and haute couture garments from 1963 to 2001, offering insight into the genesis of the couturier’s creations.
“Yves Saint Laurent: Line and Expression” is curated by Olivier Saillard and Gaël Mamine, and organized by the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech and Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris, with an exceptional loan from the collection of the Fondation Pierre Bergé –Yves Saint Laurent in Paris.
“Yves Saint Laurent: Line and Expression” will be open to the public June 28 to Oct. 27.
