Also in attendance was Meryl Streep, who proudly watched on as they became the 2,841st and 2,842nd stars on the iconic walk.

Other A-listers spotted include Dwayne Johnson, Robert Downey Jr and Matt Damon.

Stanley's big break came in 1996 for film Big Night, which he co-wrote, co-directed, and starred in as Secondo Pilaggi.

Meanwhile, Emily  

Speaking about her co-stars, Meryl said during the ceremony: 'God. Emily, I feel like I birthed you, really. I'm so proud of you, and everything the fellows said is absolutely true.

'I can't wait to work with you again, and the best thing about you getting this at such a tender age that we'll have you to kick around for at least 35 years if my career is any evidence, and I'm just I'm in love with you just like everybody else.

'Now, Stanley. You can't even call Stanley a national treasure anymore because I've just been around the world and truly the affection hurled at him globally, he's just marinating in it.

'And it's impossible not to love Stanley Tucci. Urbane, sly, funny, bitchy. And generous and curious and so elegant.

'Stanley has an elegance to his heterosexuality. His undeniable heterosexuality, which is formidable, not that heterosexuality is better than any other kind of sexuality, it's just that elegance, real, unforced, natural, unstyled elegance is sometimes harder for straight men.' 

Anne Hathaway, Emily, Meryl, and Stanley have reprised their respective roles in director David Frankel's much anticipated sequel to his 2006 satire about the inner workings of the fashion industry.

Meryl has since claimed her co-star Anne urged producers to be 'size-inclusive' in their hiring of background artists instead of relying on extremely thin women to play the film's array of models.

Discussing the furore on Tuesday, Anne, 43, said the incident had been blown out of proportion and insisted the narrative currently unfolding across social media - that her comments resulted in some cast-members losing their jobs - is wide off the mark.

'It was just this kind of quick thing that happened on set and now it's become a much bigger story,' she told Good Morning America.

'I do want to mention there's a little misinformation getting out there right now that people were fired because of the size inclusivity and that just didn't happen.'

The new film goes on general release across the United States and United Kingdom from May 1, and Hathaway revealed the incident related to a specific scene that she's forbidden from discussing.

She added: 'Nobody lost their jobs, in fact, it created more jobs… it's so hard because I can't say what the scene is about, but there's a song that Lady Gaga wrote and it's a beautiful, amazing song.

'Isn't it better when you see so many different types of bodies up there with that?'

Streep previously said she was 'struck' by the appearance of the runway models on set, saying they looked 'not only beautiful and young… but alarmingly thin,' during an interview for Hathaway's Harper's Bazaar cover.

Earlier this week, Emily came under fire for her 'out of touch' career advice by telling people who aren't happy in their careers to quit their jobs.

The star, who played an overworked assistant to a fashion magazine's editor in chief, was asked about advice for those 'hating their jobs'.

However the tip that Emily, who is worth a reported $80million, offered has not gone down well with fans - who have highlighted she is speaking from a place of privilege.

Emily grew up in an upper-middle-class family and she attended prestigious private school, Hurtwood House, in Surrey known for drama and performing arts.

To attend the school famous for producing actors and creatives it currently costs £22,400 per term to board at the school and £14,900 per term for day students.

During an interview with Betches they touched on Emily's role and a particular scene where she repeats to herself 'I love my job, I love my job, I love my job', while struggling with the taxing demands of her boss, Miranda Priestly.

Since the original film's release it has become a viral meme used for overworked staff navigating the corporate world.

When asked if Emily had any advice for 'women who are hating their jobs right now', she initially said under her breath, 'Quit… no.'

Before adding: 'Just find something that you deeply want to do,' she then said. 'Even if you're earning no money, as long as you love it, you'll be happy.'

While it could be interpreted that Emily was encouraging people to leave a toxic workplace and follow their dreams, many did not appreciate her wise words.
