She&#8217;s making the most of an unusual situation after the entertainment industry was turned upside down due to the ongoing global pandemic.
But Anne Hathaway didn&#8217;t let COVID-19 stop her from dressing to the nines for the release of The Witches on HBO Max Thursday afternoon.
The 37-year-old actress joked &#8216;no premiere, no problem&#8217; as she struck a pose wearing a gorgeous red Ralph &amp; Russo dress while overlooking Harrods in London.

&#8216;I hope you all enjoy Robert Zemeckis’s reimagining of #TheWitchesMovie, streaming on @HBOMax today!&#8217; she captioned the image shared to her millions of fans on Instagram.
She credited photographer Greg Williams for the moody snap, with styling provided by Rebecca Corbin-Murray.
Her effortless glam was created by artist Sofia Schwarzkopf-Tilbury and Paul Gooch swept back her chocolate brown tendrils into a chic updo.

Scary! The Princess Diaries star serves her own campy take on the character in the Robert Zemeckis-directed film, which was written by Zemeckis, Kenya Barris and Guillermo del Toro
Anne takes on the starring role from the 1983 book, which was previously played by Anjelica Huston, 69, in the iconic 1990 film.
She paid tribute to her predecessor earlier this month on Instagram: &#8216;Would you please take a moment to join me in celebrating Anjelica Huston’s flawless and iconic turn as The Grand High Witch?
&#8216;Her performance is magnificent &#8211; witty, unforgettable, scary as hell and sheer perfection (the scene where she pushes the baby down the cliff still gives me chills to this day.) I just wanted to say, one AH to another, that I tip my wig to the O.G.G.H.W. Anjelica Huston. #WitchesAreReal #TheWitchesMovie&#8217;

She told People earlier this month what went into making their version of the fabulous children&#8217;s book villainess.
Hathaway said: &#8216;The Grand High Witch was a total collaboration between costumes, hair and make-up, the writers, my dialect coach, the effects department, stunts, [director] Bob Zemeckis and myself.
&#8216;She is such a weirdo &#8211; so silly and over the top &#8211; and everyone had to work together to be on the same page so it felt big and entertaining but never too much.&#8217;
