With her beige blouse tucked into a black pleated skirt, chic sunglasses, and strappy heels, Anne Hathaway looked every bit the fashioninsider until the heel of her right shoe snapped.
As could be seen in videos that have since gone viral, the actress fell backward, landing on the steps with her hair flying and one leg awkwardly tucked beneath her.
As crew members rushed to help, Hathaway quickly reassured them, shouting, “I’m fine!”

True to her playful spirit, she got to her feet and raised her arms as if she had just stuck a gymnast’s landing.
She was later seen smiling while half-leaning on a crew member, still wearing her broken footwear, according toPage Six.
Another photo showed Hathaway walking while holding onto another crew member’s arm, smiling despite the accident.

I wonder how much those shoes cost and if expensive, why were they made so poorly the heel came off! I just had stitching break on cheap Amazon shoes I bought for gardening. Not mad because you get what you pay for, but if I were her I would not be happy. The outcome could have been much worse!

Def a lot of bruising the next day. Also , we all Know from Falls you go into a bit of shock.. just saying I’m Fine.. I’m Fine. But you’re actually not totallly fine ( side point- why can’t they just stuff something into a bag - it was so obviously empty)

She always seems to be able to laugh at herself and I've always admired that trait in people. It shows that it's more important to her to make people comfortable than to protect herself. Still, I know that hurt a couple hours later. I don't know which designer made those shoes, but they better throw themselves on her mercy and pray to GOD she doesn't hold it against them.
