(Newser) – After a split with her jail-bound boyfriend, Anne Hathaway is trying on new outfits in both her personal and professional lives, she tells Sally Singer in Vogue. A London shopping trip may find the star a bit uncertain, but colleagues don’t mince words in praising her on-screen growth: She’s the “real deal,” the director of her current film, Bride Wars, says.

Reflecting on the end of her relationship with Raffaello Follieri, Hathaway admits “it’s a complicated situation that has the ability to define me in ways I am not comfortable with.” Hathaway is defining herself as she forges ahead, snatching a sleeveless wrap off a packed rack. “I can go on a date in this. Oh, my God. That’s such a weird thought!”
