Anne Hathaway enters the Instagram Pillow Challenge by recreating The Princess Diaries poster

Anne Hathaway has entered Instagram's pillow challenge with a little inspiration from her classic 2004 movie The Princess Diaries.

The #PillowChallenge has been making the rounds this month as people look for a little fashion inspiration from inside their own homes during self-quarantine.

To participate, folks simply style a pillow and then snap a photo for social media. ​The trend already has more than 200,000 participants on Instagram embracing the hashtag.

But Hathaway put her on regal spin on it when she recreated The Princess Diaries poster for her 17 million followers, complete with (you guessed it) plenty of pillows.

Hathaway, 37, donned belted pillows to reimagine her famous character Mia Thermopolis while tackling the viral trend on Wednesday, wearing three pillows secured only with a belt.

While she apparently did not have a tiara handy, she did find headphones, combat boots and oversized sunglasses to complete the look.

“A Queen is never late; everyone else is simply early,” she wrote, referencing the memorable Julie Andrews line. She's also a bit late to the social media party, as it was first started by influencers on April 5.
