A new Anne Hathaway movie means a bevy of press tour OOTDs and fashion 10s across the board (curated with the help of her stylist Erin Walsh). So, with the release of The Idea of You just around the corner, the actress and style icon is blessing our feeds with good look after very good look. In fact, on Monday, the star stepped out in New York City in two different outfits all before the clock struck noon.

Hathaway's second ensemble of the day, which she wore for an appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark, included a sheer sleeveless midi dress that was "not just blue," "not turquoise," "not lapis," but actually "cerulean" blue. The ribbed Simkhai dress featured a mesh midsection layered over a matching bra top and what appears to be a tight skirt. Perhaps the most groundbreaking detail was the frock's flouncy-tiered ruffled hem that bounced with each step she took in her teal pointed-toe pumps.

Hathaway kept accessories minimal with dainty gold hoops and a smattering of coordinating rings. She finished the outfit with a pair of black square sunglasses. Her long brown hair was worn down and straight with forehead fringe.

Earlier in the morning, the actress had a monochromatic moment on The Today Show in a white Patou minidress and short-sleeve jacket paired with matching tights, pointed-toe heels, and a shoulder bag.

The prim-and-polished outfit was a switch-up from her full-on Matrix look on Sunday, which included a three-piece black leather Ralph Lauren suit styled with a white button-up and black skinny tie. The star wore the edgy ensemble to a screening of her upcoming film at the 92NY.

During her and co-star Nicholas Galitzine's joint appearance on The Today Show, Hathaway spoke about how the film (based on the 2017 novel of the same name) addresses the on-screen couple's age gap, a crucial plot detail in both the book and movie. In the flick, which will be available to stream on Amazon Prime on May 2, Hathaway plays 40-year-old Solène, who falls for 24-year-old boy band frontman Hayes Campbell (Galitzine).

"It's kind of fun to be in a film where we talk about it, where we don't dance around it, but we actually embrace her point of view on it," Hathaway said. "It's funny; it's OK if 40 is old; it's OK if 40 isn't old—it's OK whatever it is because it's personal. For Solène, her point of view is, you know, she became a mom really young, and she really wanted to have a career, and so she doesn't totally identify with her age."
