When it comes to wardrobe heroes, a few pieces in particular come to mind.
Included in that list for the majority of fashion lovers is a simple LBD, a pair of sleek pointed-toe pumps, a Victoria Beckham-approved blazer and a crisp white button-up shirt.
For Anne Hathaway, it's the latter that accompanied her on multiple occasions throughout Monday.
We needn’t explain what event took place on Monday evening, because unless you’re living somewhere with no internet access, there's absolutely no chance you haven’t seen at least one showstopping look from the annual event that took place at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Leaning into this year's theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style and dress code: Tailored for You, the brand’s Creative Director, Wes Gordon, paid homage to the great André Leon Talley in the form of a crystal-encrusted structured column skirt and an oversized white cotton button-down shirt.
Wes Gordon describes the cotton shirt as: “A timeless piece beloved by both Carolina Herrera and André Leon Talley, serves as the foundation of this immaculately tailored look. The signature oversized white cotton shirt is tied at the waist, a nod to the effortless style and individual cool of Dandyism.”

Proving that fact to a tee, Anne swapped out her flashy striped skirt for a pair of figure-hugging black capri pants, keeping the oversized billowing shirt on to party all night at Charlotte Tilbury and Stella McCartney’s after party.
