When Fantine wore Prada. . .

n In 2001, Hathaway got her big break starring as Mia Thermoplis in The Princess Diaries. Dubbed America's new sweetheart, roles in Brokeback Mountain (2005), The Devil Wears Prada (2006) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012) followed.

n Just as her career was taking off, in 2008, Hathaway's then-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri was arrested on fraud charges. But the heartbroken starlet eventually got her own happily-ever-after when she wed actor Adam Shulman four years later.

n Hosting the Oscars in 2011 may have been a dream come true for the Hollywood darling. With actor James Franco by her side however, it wound up being a nightmare, with critics describing the pair's skits as "clumsy and downright painful".

n Hathaway turned it around at the Academy Awards two years later, bagging the baldie for Best Supporting Actress for her devastating performance as Fantine in Les Misérables. Posing on a rather nippy-looking red carpet though, it was her pink Prada dress that hogged the headlines.
