ANNE HATHAWAY MARRIES ADAM SHULMAN IN VALENTINO GOWN

The Les Misérables star appears on the February 2013 cover of Harper's Bazaar, and lays bare her emotions in the accompanying interview when talking about her beau Adam Shulman, whom she married in October 2012 wearing a custom-made Valentino confection.

'I knew from the second I met him that he was the love of my life,' Hathaway revealed. 'I also knew that I couldn't have met him at a worse time.'

Reticent about letting her guard down after a past breakup, Hathaway continued:

'I took my trust out for a ridiculous joyride with him. It was scary.

'But as the days wore on it kept getting better and better. I found that the love I found for him made me more trusting of everyone, and the more I started to see who I had become.'

It seems married life has only made the star more enamoured of Shulman.

'He walks into a room, and I light up. I can't help it. A few days into [filming Les Misérables], I said, "I'm having too much fun, I just want to play with you and I need to be really sad right now."'

In the interview, Hathaway, who spent the New Year partying and skiing with her hubby and designer pal Valentino in Gstaad, Switzerland, also opened up about her 'good-girl cartoon,' 'very vanilla,' 'very sweet,' and 'not interesting' public image.

'I'm not Rihanna; I'm not cool... I had no grit, no sex appeal,' she told Bazaar.

Well, after her red carpet turn in those racy Tom Ford gladiator sandals last month, not to mention her role as the slinky and seductive Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises, there's no disputing her sex appeal.

And let's not forget star power: Hathaway is nominated for a supporting actress Golden Globe for her role in Les Mis.
