Vogue has named Anne Hathaway as the cover star for its August 2025 edition, unveiling a photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz and an in-depth profile by writer Maya Singer. In the accompanying interview Hathaway discloses that she has recorded original songs for director David Lowery’s forthcoming A24 drama “Mother Mary,” in which she plays the title character—described in the article as a pop icon with shades of Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift. The Oscar-winning actor says the part demanded nearly two years of dance and vocal training and is the most challenging role of her career to date.
