Anne Hathaway — who was omnipresent, and unctuously so, a few years ago — has returned to the public view a more confident, poised, and married woman this year. She’s also an Oscar winner now, too, and after admitting recently that fame “f**ked her up for a long time,” Hathaway seems more ready than ever to do the press rounds for the upcoming Interstellar without, hopefully, seeming like she’s trying too hard. That’s always been Hathaway’s M.O.: She seems desperate to be liked, and that desperation has reeked.

However, there’s nothing about her photo spread for Elle UK that reeks except confidence.
