The devil wears Valentino: Anne Hathaway wows in glamorous sheer gown as she attends New York City Ballet Gala

She was attending a prestigious party in honour of legendary designer Valentino, but she ended up being the main attraction.
Anne Hathaway easily stole the show on Thursday night as she showed the world just how beautiful she really is in a glamorous gown, as she daringly stepped out without wearing a bra.
The Les Misérables star wowed the crowds as she arrived at the 2012 New York City Ballet Gala, which took place at the David H. Koch Theatre at Lincoln Center.

Simply amazing: Anne Hathaway looked sensational as she wore a Valentino gown to the 2012 New York City Ballet Gala, on Thursday night

Anne, 29, wore a rather revealing couture dress which received an abundance of compliments as she graced the red carpet.
Her exceptionally long sheer gown was varying shades of rose and green and covered in a floral design that resembled an impressionist piece of art work.
The elegant frock covered enough of her body to spare any blushes as she maintained her dignity in the daring garment.

Bad foot forward: Anne turned around as she felt her dress getting stood on by the gentleman behind her

She teamed the chic frock with a simple gold clutch bag and styled her short hair well with her beaming smile and big brown eyes highlighting her beauty.
Naturally, as the evening was a celebration of the great fashion designer Valentino Garavani, it was only fitting that he created the dress for her.
The high neckline and puffed baggy sleeves may not seem the best way to accentuate the female form but the creation was perfect for the actor.

Speaking to E! News, he said: 'She's a very good friend of mine. She's like my daughter!

'And wait until you hear her voice [in 'Les Miserables']. She's amazing.'
