Anne Hathaway talks embracing her 'femme fatale' side at 41 as glamorous star graces Vogue France cover

Anne Hathaway discussed embracing her 'femme fatale' side in a glamorous new Vogue France cover story. 

The actress, 41, wowed in a number of sizzling ensembles in the upcoming November issue, which will be available on newsstands and online on October 30.

In an Instagram teaser from the interview, the Devil Wears Prada star spoke about her more confident and sexy self-image in her forties, and how it contrasts her childhood dreams of becoming a nun.

'Around 40, I see myself differently, I like to meet new facets of myself. This femme fatale is one of them,' the Oscar winner —  who recently showed off her spooky Halloween costume — said.

'We are quite far from the nun that you dreamed of becoming, as a young girl,' she added.

'One of the privileges of being an actress is that you never need to confine or limit your identity. I feel fluid, and I am constantly evolving. I like to explore who I am,' the star shared.

The star, who was raised Roman Catholic, previously spoke about wanting to become a nun in a 2011 interview with the Independent.

'When I was younger, I thought about becoming a nun for a while. You know how it is when you’re growing up and you’re going to be a lot of different things, but I actually wanted to be an actress before I wanted to be a nun. The nun was more of a sidebar thing.'

Hathaway later broke from the church after her older brother came out.

'The whole family converted to Episcopalianism after my elder brother came out. Why should I support an organization that has a limited view of my beloved brother?”

Elsewhere in her Vogue interview, the beauty also reflected on her iconic role in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, where she played Andy Sachs, a young assistant to Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep) a demanding editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine. 

'Today, The Devil Wears Prada embodies something even bigger than when it was first released. I never imagined I'd one day play a role that would become a classic!'

'I think that before The Devil Wears Prada, I didn't understand that fashion was like a family. Thanks to the role of Andy Sachs, I got to meet them, get to know them - and therefore love them,' she added.

Anne graced the cover — shot by Quentin De Briey — looking ultra glamorous in a black Versace dress, and wearing Bvlgari jewelry.

Her brunette tresses were styled straight, with her wispy bohemian bangs framing her face.

Another sultry black and white image saw the star going braless under a plunging black Louis Vuitton top. 

There was also a photo of Anne in a metallic Versace dress that clung to her enviable figure. 

The Versace looks continued with a red hot long-sleeve dress featuring the brand's iconic safety pin. 

She also posed in a semi-sheer black Fendi dress, as well as a cream Fendi suit. 

Anne went on to model a metallic sleeveless Balenciaga gown in another photograph, which saw her posing in a parking lot. 

Another rooftop image saw her wearing a Versace top, Dickies pants, and Gucci shoes. 

Her latest interview comes after celebrity stylist Emanuel Miller made the admission that Anne was difficult to work with.

Speaking on the What Was It Like podcast with host Julian Morgans recently, Emanuel claimed working with The Princess Diaries star was 'one of the worst experiences'.

'I did a film with Anne Hathaway and that was one of my worst experiences,' Emanuel said.

He added that his daughter was acting as a stand-in for the star, but there was still never any personal conversation between the pair.
