Anne Hathaway: I have very large features on a very small head

Anne Hathaway on her 'weird features' and surprising style icons

Anne Hathaway admires Lady Gaga's style

Anne Hathaway looks as unequivocally gorgeous and radiant as ever on the March cover of InStyle - though she's probably the only person out there who doesn't see it:

'I think I've got really weird features. I have very large features on a very small head,' she tells the magazine.

'But, you know, I'm not going to beat myself up. It's my face. I'm not very pretty. But that's OK because I do know that I look like myself, and I think at the end of the day, as nice as pretty is, authenticity is more important.'

The self-effacing actress continues: 'If I don't work out at all, I have too much curve and no tone-which is not OK. It's about finding balance.'

Hathaway strives for equilibrium in the way she dresses too, with her tomboy-by-day, glamazon-by-night approach: 'In the evening it would never occur to me to go out in motorcycle boots like this,' she says, referring to the black Burberry pair she wore to her interview.

'I love going out in high heels and dressing up and glamming it up, and having there be a distinction between what happened throughout the day and the evening.'

As to where she finds style inspiration, the 27 year-old, who calls out Marc Jacobs as one of her 'all-time favorite designers,' has a long list of Hollywood peers who demonstrate 'innovation and originality,' including Tilda Swinton, Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga, Selma Blair, and Natalie Portman, and says: 'I like people who are true to themselves.'
