Oscar de la Renta’s co-creative directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia turned to floral inspiration for their spring 2025 collection. The pair used the rose as a key motif in their designs, featuring looks with stained glass elements, rosette-printed denim and ornately designed floral crochets.

Hathaway has been a brand ambassador for Bulgari since 2022. The Oscar-winner joined Zendaya, a fellow brand ambassador for the Italian luxury fashion house, in the “Unexpected Wonders” campaign.
