Anne Hathaway looked incredible as she departed the Met Gala afterparty in New York City on Monday.
The actress, 42, continued fueling plastic surgery rumors as she displayed her smooth visage while working her magic at the annual fashion extravaganza.
The film star cut a stylish figure for the event in a white open shirt which she tucked into a black and silver bejewelled skirt.
She added height to her frame with a pair of heels and styled her brunette locks into a sleek ponytail.
The Princess Diaries star beamed from ear to ear as she left the afterparty in the early hours of the morning.
Fans took note of Anne's youthful complexion in the comments section of an interview she did with Vogue on the blue carpet.
'Whoa she really got some obvious work done on her upper face. Maybe brow lift. She's trying to distract/cover up with pulled back hair,' one posted in the comments section of the Instagram post.
Others agreed: 'Jaw, ponytail lift, and brow lift it seems!' one account said in response.
'All I know is the eyebrows move!' another quipped.
When one noted that the Princess Diaries star appeared 'young,' another account responded she 'must have had some work done....'
'Her plastic surgeon is top tier,' a third user posted.
Others praised Hathaway's appearance, but still suspected she may have had something done.
'When is he gonna ask "who is your surgeon?"' one fan asked, referencing the reporter's line of questioning. 'I'd like to know how much $$ I need to rob for an appointment.'
'Did she have anything done to her face? She looks younger. Absolutely gorgeous,' another posted.
The actress became to talk of social media last month after she appeared at New York fashion week looking especially youthful.
It was the latest in a series of stunning appearances that have left some fans saying The Devil Wears Prada actor now looks younger than she did in her 20s.
Hathaway's noticeably smooth complexion at the event — even compared to just six months ago — has sparked frenzied speculation she may have had work done.
Even when letting out a big laugh, the Havoc star's forehead did not reveal even one wrinkle or crinkle.
Anne's apparent continued de-ageing also left some fans joking: 'Annie's on track to be a baby by 2045.'
The actress has faced speculation she's had work done before.

Fans weighed in on Anne's look after watching her interview with Vogue at the Met Gala
In 2023, plastic surgeon Dr Gary Motykie told DailyMail.com that he had 'no doubt she had surgery on her nose' as it appears the former child star refined her tip with a finesse rhinoplasty.
'You see it go from a slightly more plunging bulbous tip with a wide bridge to having a much more defined contour and thinner bridge and thinner tip and more tip projection. That's the leading sign of having a rhinoplasty,' he speculated.
'We also see that natural sign of thinning and baby fat going away on her face, but it does appear to be more maintained. So, again, I am suspicious of things like fillers, Botox, maintenance with micro-needling and skin tightening, things to just maintain the skin.
'I also noticed her jawline is a bit narrower, again that could be the normal loss of body fat or it could be some slight contouring to the jawline to bring in that lower face with things like Botox to narrow that lower part of the face.'
Back in 2008, Hathaway denied ever going under the knife but confessed: 'When I was growing up, I wanted a nose job, because I didn't think my nose was good.'
'Your face needs to have character if you're going to be an actor, or you're just kind of a face,' she added.
The actress herself has shown dedication to her skincare regime.

Only two months ago, Hathaway shared a makeup free snap with Hollywood bestie Jessica Chastain.
The friends, who starred alongside each other in 2024 thriller Mothers' Instinct, both sported sheet face masks as they kept their skin hydrated while relaxing on a plane.
Hathaway's long-term facialist, the renowned Su-Man, has also previously given an insight into the star's strict daily skincare routine.
Su-Man told Net-a-Porter that Anne massages her face, puts on a face mask and applies SPF 30 every day.
The star herself has also spoken in the past about how she has always prioritised protecting her skin from sun damage, with her mother encouraging her to wear sunscreen daily from a young age.
'I even carry an umbrella if I walk in the sunshine and use spray tan if I need to look as if I've been sunbathing,' she previously told the Sun in 2012.
Dr Asha Chhaya, an aesthetic doctor and medical lead at WY Skin Clinic, also told MailOnline some of the ways Hathaway likely maintains her flawless features.
'She likely follows a consistent skincare routine, with sun protection as a top priority, using SPF daily,' she shared in 2024.
'Her regimen probably includes gentle cleansing, moisturising, and regular face masks to keep her skin hydrated and radiant.
'It's also likely that she incorporates antioxidant serums to shield her skin from environmental damage, and no anti-ageing routine would be complete without retinol - known for its ability to boost collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines.'
'It's possible she benefits from regular facials and subtle cosmetic enhancements to further bring out her natural beauty.'
Another factor that might be helping is the fact she gave up alcohol back in 2019.
Alcohol dehydrates the skin and disrupts sleep, both factors that can lead to a dull, tired complexion.
