Anne Hathaway stuns in tuxedo gown worthy of Miranda Priestly on red carpet

Anne Hathaway and her stylist Erin Walsh have made sure her looks for The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour are worthy of the iconic film itself.

So far she’s posed in sculpted Louis Vuitton, ruffled Valentino and shimmering Stella McCartney.

But that’s not all. For last night’s London premiere in Leicester Square, Hathaway stole the show in Versace.

The navy-blue velvet gown had a high-slit skirt with a glittery top and strapless sheer bodice, resembling a deconstructed tux jacket fit with lapels and a row of buttons.

Paired with a statement high-pony with plenty of enviable volume, Hathaway looked fittingly glam and powerful as she, alongside costars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci and even designer Donatella Versace herself, celebrated the long-awaited sequel to the 2006 cult classic film.

What to expect from the film, you ask? Although The Devil Wears Prada 2 won’t be released in UK cinemas until May 1, early critic reviews have indicated fans won’t be disappointed.

After a 20-year wait for a follow-up, the new film sees Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs return to Runway magazine, where she reunites with her infamously frosty former boss Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep.

It’s been teased that the sequel will see Andy working alongside Miranda as the fashion titan navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing.

We’ll also see the return of iconic character and former colleague Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) as the now head of a luxury brand that possesses the advertising dollars which could ensure the glossy mag’s survival.

Speaking with People at last night’s premiere, Hathaway reflected on the ways the growth in her personal life mirrors that of her character’s in the new film.

‘I think we’re both more confident,’ she said. ‘I think that 20 years ago Andy Sachs was really worried about getting it right and she really wanted to please her boss.’

She added: ‘I think that [now] she wants to be herself. And I relate to that.’

It’s also been revealed that a cameo from Sydney Sweeney was ruthlessly cut from the final film, with Entertainment Weekly stating it was removed because ‘it didn’t work structurally’.

The outlet reported that ‘the team working on the movie was grateful for her participation, making the decision to remove the bit a difficult one’.
