Nearly two decades after audiences first witnessed the love story of Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar — and cried their way through entire boxes of tissues as a result — their on-screen wives had an impromptu reunion!

Brokeback Mountain stars Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams — who played the wives of Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Ennis (Heath Ledger), respectively — sat side by side in the front row as Ralph Lauren unveiled its Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection on Thursday, April 17.

A far cry from the Western looks of the 2005 drama, the actresses wore head-to-toe Ralph Lauren for the star-studded fashion show, which was held at the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City.

15 Things You May Not Know About ‘Brokeback Mountain’

Hathaway, 42, wore sequined, distressed jeans in a warm shade of khaki, which she teamed with a matching trench and a simple, scoop-neck white undershirt. She wore her hair in a sleek, high ponytail and accessorized with gold everything — save for a big pair of black sunglasses, which she ditched once heading inside the gallery.

Williams, 44, also went neutral — and opted for big outerwear — sporting a long, gray trenchcoat that hit at her ankles, which she wore closed and cinched at the waist. Underneath, a dress in a nearly identical shade poked through slightly, and the actress paired her all-gray attire with black pumps and a matching purse — plus her signature blonde bob, of course.

The stylish stars sat together in the front row of the gallery, where they were also joined by Naomi Watts, with whom Hathaway was seen chatting.

Jake Gyllenhaal Recalls ‘Really Deep and Fun’ Experience Making Brokeback Mountain with Heath Ledger

While Hathaway and Williams’ roles in Brokeback Mountain mark their only film collaboration, Hathaway later reunited with on-screen husband Gyllenhaal, 44, for 2010’s Love & Other Drugs.

Similarly, Williams and Ledger did not rekindle their on-screen chemistry, but they did famously take it off-screen. The actors fell in love on the set of the Ang Lee-directed movie, and welcomed their daughter Matilda Rose in October 2005, just before the movie hit theaters.

They later split up in September 2007, and Ledger died shortly after from an accidental drug overdose on Jan. 22, 2008.

The cast of Brokeback Mountain (who also included Kate Mara, Linda Cardellini, Randy Quaid and Anna Faris) have spoken fondly about the film over the years, though Williams recently admitted that after landing her first Oscar nod for the 2005 drama, she felt “a little bit frozen for a moment, creatively.” (The film was nominated for eight Oscars, including Williams’ nod for Best Supporting Actress, and won for three: Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Score.)

“It was really unnerving after that. Like, what do you do? What do you do next?” Williams recalled on Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist in 2023. “I never really had attention on me before in that kind of a way, and I think that that attention can be sort of destabilizing.”
