Now, this certainly doesn’t rise to the level of Love Story’s Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy “yikes,” but Anne Hathaway’s wardrobe on the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2 is starting to raise some eyebrows. Is this how Andy Sachs would dress once she’s no longer working at Runway? Too trendy? Not stylish enough?
Hathaway was spotted in New York City filming in a colourful Gabriela Hearst dress and bucket hat — not a terrible outfit, but as some commenters on DeuxMoi pointed out, the look has more in common with the famously over-the-top Carrie Bradshaw than mousy Andy. Others are comparing it to Emily in Paris, another show that’s more fashion fantasy than fashion reality, and the original Devil Wears Prada definitely took its cues from the real world of magazines.
In the same set of pictures, we also see Sachs/Hathaway hopping off the Hampton Jitney with a Runway-branded garment bag, so she’s still affiliated with the magazine somehow. Editing the features section with that journalism degree, perhaps?
This much-hyped sequel is certainly giving the internet plenty to talk about!

Moving right along to these coveralls, Chanel sandals, and a Valentino bag. Wasn’t there a scene where Andy carried a studded bag to a party and got a compliment on it from the bag’s designer? Perhaps that instilled in her a need to carry a status bag like it was a piece of armour. Character moments, so important in storytelling!
Or maybe the costume department just wants to get every luxury brand except Prada in there.
We thought this pinstriped set was pretty unassailable, but fashion soothsayer Emily Kirkpatrick posted on Substack, “anne hathaway carrying a coach messenger bag……i fear the devil wears prada 2 is off to a rocky start.” Food for thought.
Personally, I’m just waiting to find out which heretofore innocuous trend will be absolutely obliterated in the cultural consciousness this time around. RIP Florals for Spring, we barely knew ye.
