She kept the look simple yet elegant with a statement diamond necklace from Bulgari and minimal makeup.
On the stage, she presented the award for Best International Feature Film alongside Javier Bardem and highlighted how powerful storytelling goes beyond geography. The award was won by the Norwegian film Sentimental Value.

Meanwhile, Hathaway also drew attention at the event as she was dressed in a black floral gown with matching gloves. The actress appeared on stage to present the awards for Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling alongside Anna Wintour. The segment became a highlight of the evening as the duo playfully referenced the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, in which Hathaway featured alongside Meryl Streep.
Hathaway and Chopra's bond
The actor duo has appeared together at multiple events, including a Bulgari showcase in Paris in 2022 that also featured Lisa, and another gathering where Zendaya joined them.
Hathaway and Chopra's friendship has grown over the years through their association with the brand Bulgari, where both serve as global ambassadors.
Hathaway on working with Chopra
In an earlier interview, Hathaway had shared her wish to work with Chopra for a film. "We discussed a few things that night; that one hasn’t come up yet, but what are we going to do? This is a great idea how do we make this happen?,” she said, adding that she would "love" to work with Chopra.
Hathaway also once opened up about being a fan of the Indian actress for years. "Priyanka Chopra’s skin… I have nothing on her," she jokingly said, while promoting her 2019 film Serenity. "Right now I am online every night going, 'What is she… how did she do it?'"
The 2026 Oscars was hosted by Conan O'Brien, and several films and artists were honoured for their extraordinary performances.
