The lovely Anne Hathaway has been in the spotlight since the beginning of the Noughties, playing the role of Mia in "The Princess Diaries". At that time, she was a fresh-faced young actress with beautiful long brown hair. From film to film and year to year, that young actress has grown into a splendid young woman, and we can see this in the hairstyles she chooses. Let's take a look back at Anne Hathaway's hairstyles over the years.

The early years

In the beginning, Anne Hathaway dyed her hair an auburn shade, which complemented her natural colouring. Her hair was slightly shorter then, and for a more romantic style, she would often wear it in curls.

For her next style, she let her hair grow a bit longer and dyed it a slightly darker colour. The addition of a fringe was a very stylish touch, and to add more shape to her wavy hair, she had it layered.

From girl to young woman

In 2008, while filming "Rachel Getting Married" (which earned her a first Oscar nomination), Anne Hathaway cut her hair into a fashionable bob and dyed it dark brown, making her look more grown-up.

Perhaps because of her Oscar nomination or her new haircut, the beautiful actress looked more radiant than ever.

She kept her hair long for a while and tried different styles, straightening it on some occasions and wearing it in curls on others, although she seemed to avoid tying it up.

In 2010, she was filming "One Day" in Paris. For this, she adopted a boyish cut. She didn't keep the cut for very long, and had extensions put in as soon as she could to return to her earlier romantic style.

She has had to cut her hair short again this year, as she is playing the part of Fantine in "Les Miserables". The cut really suits her and we look forward to seeing her next hairstyle.
