Anne Hathaway 'Dark Knight Rises' Dress Is Uncharacteristically Sexy (PHOTOS)

Anne Hathaway has adjusted well to her new pixie cut, working with the shorter hairstyle by wearing '60s shift dresses and androgynous pant suits. But it looks like Ms. Hathaway was looking to up her sex appeal yesterday at the "Dark Knight Rises" premiere in New York.

The usually demure actress opted for a sexy white Grecian-inspired gown by Prabal Gurung with a dangerously plunging neckline -- any quick moves would certainly have resulted in a wardrobe malfunction. A silver mesh leading down to a peplum waist was the only thing adorning her midsection. And if you didn't get enough Anne in the front, the "Les Miserables" star showed off her backside with even more flirtatious draping.

Maybe Anne was reconnecting with her Catwoman character, maybe she's looking to shake up the image that she's created with her new cut or maybe she was just feeling extra confident yesterday. Either way, we think she looks stunning in any type of look with her new 'do.

What do you think of Anne's risqué look? Scroll down for more photos.

Wow! can i really say anything else? she is brilliant and beautiful!

I love the gown. She looks fantastic in it.

I can't wait to see her as Selina. I have tickets for the 4:45 show on Friday. I'm SO excited!

She's so pretty and so poised. The dress is a little big in the front on top, and a little too long on the bottom, but the back is divine, and love the bold red lips and pixie hair.

She has such a classic beauty and taste ... kudos to you Ms. Hathaway.

Nice dress but hardly sexy.

Bad haircut and she lost too much weight for that cameo in Les Mis.

[Lisa Seville]

Saw her in some viagra movie where all she did was bad acting and naked soft porn while slowly dying or something and now that haircut, hideous.

Viagra has movies now? Like from a movie studio, not from aporno company?

Love and Other Drugs was the name of the movie

Just about every actor/actress has an awful film although I cannot comment on the film you are referencing because I have not seen it.

Sandra Bullock won an Oscar in 2009 and in that same year she also won a Razzie which she, being the good sport she is, publicly accepted.

that is true......Sandra rocks-no comparison I hope completely different league

She has old style elegance, classic Hollywood and while i am at it i should add "class" full stop, her hair is short for her next film role and i do believe she will pull off the Catwoman part in The Dark Knight Rises, having said that, i think no one can beat Michelle Pfieffers interpretation of the character in Batman Returns, she was just amazing in skintight PVC.

Anne Hathaway, always sublime. Well done.

It's unfair to Ms. Hathaway to have her pictures followed by

pictures of Ms. Johansson.

[playsindirt]

She's just not catwoman material. Too prim.

Hold your opinions until you see her in the movie. People thought Heath Ledger couldn't pull off the Joker, and one would argue that was one of his best performances (I would say it was definitely his best). Christopher Nolan can work wonders - have a little faith!

[playsindirt]

10:52 AM on 07/18/2012

I actually thought Ledger would blow it out of the water and he did. Saw the previews and I don't hold out much home for Hathaway's performance. But I'll report back after I see it this weekend.

[lizmckenzie55]

It's called acting.

[RedRoux]

Something about the cut of the dress looks wrong on her, in particular the front. Don't know what it is, but I don't think this is the best look for her. Still, the hair looks cute and I like that she was understated with the jewelery.

[Secondbecky]

Hardly overtly sexy or daring. It's a classy dress, like most of her outfits.

[tastles2001]

Really,for crying out loud,SHE LOOKS LIKE A BOY,with boy features.

[David1957]

Big deal, she's appeared topless in at least five movies, and bottomless in two of those.
