Hot pink has once again entered the chat.

The vibrant color has taken over the celebrity street style scene and Anne Hathaway is just the latest A-lister to take up the trend.

While attending Valentino's haute couture show in Rome, the WeCrashed actress sat front row while wearing a sparkling minidress straight from the Italian house's fall/winter 2022 runway. The piece, made in Valentino's signature shade of "Valentino Pink PP," is covered in glittering sequins and features a mock neck, a structured flair skirt, and ruffle details under the bust.

Hathaway continued the color scheme with the rest of her ensemble, wearing a hot pink iteration of the brand's famous Garavani platform pumps and carrying a matching mini shoulder bag.

This isn't the first time that Hathaway repped Valentino's saturated pink pigment.

In photos shared exclusively with BAZAAR.com in May, she stepped out during the Cannes Film Festival in an off-the-shoulder pantsuit from the collection. She again capped off the ensemble with the coveted Garavani heels and diamond earrings.

Since creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli debuted "Valentino Pink PP"—an explosive hue first developed by Pantone color specialists and which encompassed 40 different looks in the collection—other celebrities like Zendaya, Gigi Hadid, Lizzo, and more have been spotted in the covetable pieces.

"Stripping the palette down to a single hue, relentlessly, [Piccioli] does more with less, maximizing expressive possibilities in the apparent lack of possibilities," state Valentino's show notes. "The accumulation of pink elements is such as to eliminate the visual shock to bring out, together, the unique character of the person, expressed by the face and the eyes, and the work on the pieces of clothing: the signs that shape them into a silhouette, the textures that give them consistency, the decorations that are part of the construction. The subtraction is, in fact, amplification, magnifying both the humans and the clothing."
