Anne Hathaway vs. Meryl Streep at the first ‘Prada’ event: who had the cuter look?

Anne Hathaway has two films coming out in the next month. First up is Mother Mary, with a limited release on April 17. Then the big one, The Devil Wears Prada 2, out on May 1st. I’m very interested in the box-office analysis around Devil/Prada because it’s a decades-past sequel to an all-time classic, and it does feel like the promotion is just going to be geared solely to women. Are they expecting huge things financially, or are the expectations more “slow burn”?

Anyway, here are some photos of the first promotional stop for the Prada sequel – earlier this week, Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep did a big event in Mexico City. It looks like they walked a runway, get it?? Meryl wore a Schiaparelli gown (and tote) while Anne wore Stella McCartney dress and boots. Wow… Meryl looks so fashion forward and cool, while Anne looks like an early ‘00s reject with the flared dress and the terrible boots. This promotional tour will be fascinating.

As for Anne’s other film, Mother Mary, a new trailer dropped this week. You can hear Anne really singing a song called “My Mouth Is Lonely for You.” It was written and produced by FKA Twigs. They’re releasing all of the music Anne performs (in character) in the film, and this is the “second single.” She plays a Lady Gaga-esque pop star named Mother Mary, and Mary crashes out and goes to find her old collaborator and former friend, played by Michaela Coel. While I’m glad that Anne gets to say yes to experimental “weird” films like this, I don’t actually want to watch this whatsoever.
