Anne Hathaway struggles to even turn her head in extremely awkward ruffled dress at NYC premiere of Colossal.

Anne Hathaway‘s stellar red carpet style almost rivals her award-winning acting.

Yet screen star Anne couldn’t hide her dismay on Tuesday night, when the ruffles of her dramatic Armani Prive vintage gown prevented her from even turning her head.

The Les Miserables actress, 34, fell victim to her own costume drama as she arrived for the premiere of Colossal in New York, unable to maneuver her body into her best angles for the cameras.

The New York native’s festive black gown featured tiers of ruffles and glittering tulle fabric with a cut that showed off the star’s elegant figure and beautiful back.

She and stylist Penny Lovell chose the piece from Armani Prive’s Spring 2006 collection to make a statement about wearing sustainable fashion.

Convinced that turning heads would have been the outcome for the outfit, she could never have anticipated that turning her own head would be an issue.

The Devil Wears Prada actress styled her hair into a simple updo while focusing her beauty look on flushed cheeks and fluttering eyelashes.

Several other stars showed up for the quirky sci-fi’s premiere, including funnyman Jason Sudekis.

The husband of Olivia Wilde looked low-key in a newsboy cap and vest which he paired with hip sneakers and a blue tie.
