On form: Anne Hathaway cut a slim figure as she posed backstage at the 15th Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala last night

The flattering blue patterned dress showed off to perfection the hard work Anne has put in recently to look in the best shape ever for her role as Catwoman in the upcoming movie The Dark Knight Rises.

Talking about getting in shape for the role, which was made famous by Michelle Pfeiffer almost two decades ago, Anne said earlier this year: ‘I’m a vegetarian and right now, I’m living on kale and dust for the training. That catsuit’s unforgiving.’

And, referring to her workout regime, she said: ‘There’s a workout hump where you’re so weak that you hate everything.

Fighting fit: She has been working out to get into the best shape of her life to play Catwoman in upcoming movie The Dark Knight Rises, posing with 50/50 star Joseph Gordon-Levitt who won the Hollywood breakthrough actor award

‘Everything is so painful and you look like an idiot.

‘The gym where I work out, I was literally working out next to a pregnant Jessica Alba and she could do more push-ups than I could. I’ve now just started to do Bikram yoga.’

Only last month Anne was pictured on the set of the movie, shooting scenes in a black  figure-hugging Catwoman ensemble.

In love: With boyfriend Adam Shulman

It was a far cry from her look in the recent romcom One Day, where she played a dorky university graduate Emma Morley.

Hathway starred in the movie alongside Jim Sturgess – but her portrayal was roundly panned by critics.

Things, though, are on the up for the brunette.

Last night she posed alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 30, who took home the gong for Hollywood Breakthrough Actor Award for his role in 50/50.

And all is good on the love front too.

The actress recently moved in with her long-term boyfriend Adam Shulman in New York.
