Anne Hathaway gave onlookers a morning perk on Tuesday as she stepped out to grab coffee in a racy short skirt which all but disappeared under her grey pea coat.

The 30-year-old actress looked lovely in the cropped jacket, which only revealed a hint of the bottom half of her colourful ensemble.

The Les Miserables was joined by her husband Adam Shulman, and completed her look with wellies as she ventured out in rainy New York.

While Anne was as chic as they come in her winter gear, jewellery designer Adam looked far less trendy in a blue jacket, creased jeans and brown shoes.

Anne's love of fashion has made her a popular figure among the some of the world's top designers.

Plenty of welly: Anne's long coat all but covered the bottom half of her ensemble with her skirt 'disappearing' under the grey jacket

Skirting the issue: Anne's decision to wear a high-cut miniskirt paid off in spades as it showed off her fine pins

Drip coffee I presume: The pair had dressed in case of any sudden showers with gentleman Adam carrying his wife's brolly

But this did not stop her being left without a dress due to a mishap this year's Academy Awards.

She was said to have 'threw a fit' when she discovered rival Amanda Seyfried's gown was almost identical to her specially made Valentino number.

The Dark Knight Rises favourite was said to have spent hours agonising over what to do, before eventually selecting a pink Prada number.

She then issued a a grovelling public apology to her close friend Valentino, whose press team had already sent out a press release announcing her choice, unaware of the last-minute switch.

I'd bet those are little red shorts. Get it right Daily Mail, geez.

Weird little pixi creature.

Don't find her attractive in any way

Doesn't any celebrity in the USA ever have breakfast at home? I can't imagine enjoying a cup of coffee on the run like these people subject themselves to nearly every day ... they could at least go inside the caf and sit down for 10 minutes or so - how weird!

Yep. That's news guys...great job.

"Racy short skirt" ?! Seriously DM.. She's wearing tights.. And anyways, why is this a story?! What's for tomorrow.... Anne's new hair clip as she steps out of a coffee shop -.-
