Anne Hathaway’s Quirky Wardrobe in NYC for Devil Wears Prada 2 Hints at Plot Twist

Anne Hathaway sported a series of funky looks while filming Devil Wears Prada 2 in New York City on Monday.

The actress, 42, is reprising her role as Andrea ‘Andy’ Sachs for the sequel of the hit 2006 movie – which is due out in May.

And one particularly vibrant outfit may have even offered fans a clue about the plot of the sequel. 

The brunette beauty was pictured rocking a colorful mosaic-style maxi dress paired with chunky brown platform heels.

But it was the garment bag attached to her luggage that seemed to hint at Andy’s direction in the upcoming film.

Though at the end of the original movie Andy quit working at Runway magazine, run by the ruthless Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), in the new images she was seen with a dress bag that featured the name of the magazine, suggesting she may have returned.

Her look was paired with a light bucket hat, two chunky necklaces and a pair of sunglasses. 

Her long brunette tresses cascaded from underneath the hat in loose waves. 

Aside from the garment bag, she was pictured walking with a blue suitcase and another blue mesh bag.

Anne also shared a video of her in the dress to her Instagram. 

Later she was seen wearing a denim zip-up jumpsuit with colorful patches.

The outfit was paired with black open-toe Chanel sandals and a black leather Valentino purse.

Another outfit saw her in a white tank top with a black vest and a long denim skirt.

The original film lifted the lid on the cut-throat fashion world, and two decades on that world will have changed, not least for Sachs’s domineering boss, Runway editor-in-chief Miranda, played again by Meryl. 

The movie is expected to at least reveal her fate, showing her once-all-powerful character dealing with the decline of print industry. 

One question is whether she will have retained her icy demeanor. In one scene in the first film, Andy chuckles through an editorial fashion meeting led by Priestly, who then delivers a cutting assessment of her ‘cerulean’ sweater.

‘You think this has nothing to do with you,’ Priestly tells her.

‘You go to your closet, and you select, I don’t know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back, but what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean.’

The scene became iconic and spawned the ‘cerulean blue’ theory of how all styles trickle down from the catwalk.

Anne made a nod to the scene yesterday morning when she posted a clip online wearing a similar sweater with the caption ‘Heading to werk’ [sic] with the hashtag #dwp2.

In the video, Anne is seen hurriedly getting ready, this time brushing her teeth with an electric toothbrush, a modern upgrade from Andy’s manual one in the original film’s memorable job interview scene.

But it was her outfit that truly sent her followers spiralling.

The brief clip quickly exploded online, with commenters quoting Miranda’s epic takedown of Andy’s supposed fashion indifference.

One gushed: ‘SHE’S WEARING THAT CERULEAN BLUE!!!!’

Another confessed they felt ‘like a kid waiting for Christmas for Devil Wears Prada SEQUEL!!!!’

Hathaway’s wink to the fashion-forward film comes just weeks after confirmation that The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in development, with Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci all set to reprise their roles.

Joining them in the sequel are new cast members Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet.

In the sequel, Blunt’s character, Emily Charlton, has climbed the corporate ladder and now holds the power Miranda needs—setting the stage for a delicious clash of ambition, loyalty, and fashion politics.

While plot details are still under wraps, sources suggest the film may draw inspiration from Lauren Weisberger’s 2013 novel Revenge Wears Prada, which follows Andy’s post-Runway life as she becomes a magazine editor, only to find Miranda crashing back into her world.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, marking two decades since the original film strutted into pop culture history.
