Anne Hathawayis a vision in white!
The 39-year-old actress, who attended the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of her new period drama,Armageddon Time, opened up about her stunning red carpet look for her first-ever appearance at the iconic film fest, in which she wore a two-piece sequin Armani Privé gown with voluminous sleeves attached to a train, Bulgari gems and Santoni shoes.
“You hire [stylist]Erin Walshand you trust her,” Hathaway tells PEOPLE of the secret to the perfect Cannes wardrobe. “You know, I’ve never been to Cannes, and I’ve been watching the fashion of the film festival unfold for a couple decades now. And I’ve noticed certain things you can never go wrong with.”

“You never go wrong with a little sparkle. You never go wrong with something that looks chic and glamorous, but feels very, very comfortable. And I noticed that a lot of my favorite actresses had their first experience wearing all white,” continued the Academy Award winner. “So that was what I did.”
Hathaway posed solo and with herArmageddon Timecast, showing off the dress from all angles (though a source tells PEOPLE she removed the stole and train once inside the theater).

But the true centerpiece of her look was her BulgariMediterranean Reverie necklace; a release from the brand, which also announced that Hathaway is its new ambassador, touted “the enchanting splendor of a unique stone — 107.15 dazzling carats of royal blue cushion cut sapphire from Sri Lanka.” (She paired it with a coordinating 18-carat sapphire ring from the same “Eden the Garden of Wonders” collection.)
