Anne Hathaway has proven that even Hollywood's biggest stars can laugh at themselves after responding with humour to online claims that she accidentally wore part of her maternity outfit backwards during the promotional tour for The Odyssey.

The Oscar-winning actress, who is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman, stepped out in New York City recently wearing a striking red peplum jumpsuit while promoting Christopher Nolan's upcoming epic. The bold maternity look quickly caught attention online, but not only because of its vibrant colour.

Fashion watchers noticed that Hathaway's outfit appeared to have been worn in reverse. Rather than ignoring the conversation, Hathaway addressed it with a light hearted social media post. Sharing a reel on Instagram, she included screenshots of headlines questioning the styling choice before appearing on screen in another red outfit. Looking amused, she simply said, "I did? I did ... I did."

Her playful reaction quickly won over fans, many of whom praised her willingness to laugh at the situation. Others joked that wearing clothes backwards had suddenly become fashionable thanks to Hathaway.
