Is Anne Hathaway the New Tilda Swinton or David Bowie?

We can't decide if the Les Mis actress is posing as the fair British beauty or the infamous Ziggy Stardust

We know all young celebs get their style inspiration from fashion icons, but we're confused by Anne Hathway's choice. She's either posing as one of two suit-loving Brits: androgynous actress Tilda Swinton or androgynous singer David Bowie.

It's tricky because both the Moonrise Kingdom star and the "Under Pressure" singer have worn this exact same look...

Let's examine some evidence. Here's the Only Lovers Left Alive star just two weeks ago in Berlin. Her tux shape is similar, her hair is almost identical, and she's wearing a crisp white button-down shirt. Technically speaking, she's the contrasting mirror image!

But then there's "Ziggy Stardust" (pictured here with fellow white jacket-wearer Grace Jones) in a cream suit that's almost identical to Anne's. Yes, his hair is Kool-Aid red and he's wearing way more makeup than the Academy Award-winner, but this is bordering on a Bitch Stole My Look!

In the end it seems that Tilda stole from Bowie and Anne stole from Tilda, meaning everyone is to blame, most of all David Bowie for starting this whole "trend" in the first place.
