Anne Hathaway’s Cerulean Comeback Hints at Devil Wears Prada 2 Filming
Can’t wait to see how this plays out. Avery Sinclair reports:
Anne Hathaway just dropped a six-second TikTok clip that feels like a vintage Easter egg hunt for anyone clinging to 2006 nostalgia. The 42-year-old actress pops into frame while brushing her teeth, sporting her hair down and layered in a button-down shirt under a cerulean sweater. If that description makes you tilt your head, you’re either blissfully unaware of Andy Sachs’s most iconic wardrobe moment or you need to rewatch The Devil Wears Prada immediately.
The caption read “Heading to werk” with the hashtag #dwp2, seemingly confirming that cameras will roll on Devil Wears Prada 2 very soon. Seriously, styling choices this precise don’t happen by accident.
Meanwhile, Stanley Tucci fueled the rumour mill with his own TikTok update on July 20. In a clip lamenting a “little break from packing,” the 64-year-old announced he’s gearing up for the sequel shoot. That aligns neatly with Emily Blunt teasing earlier this month to Entertainment Tonight that her character, Emily Charlton, has ascended to a top-level exec position and will lock horns with Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestley once again.
Fans can expect more familiar faces, too. E! News confirmed that Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet from Sex Lives of College Girls, Justin Theroux of The Leftovers, BJ Novak from The Office and Conrad Ricamora will all cameo in the fashion playground. Add Broadway star Helen J. Shen and comedian Caleb Hearon to that roster, and you’ve got a runway that spans decades of talent.
Don’t hold your breath for a release until May 2026, but while you wait, let’s revisit why the original became a so-called “modern classic.” Variety reports Fox 2000 bought Lauren Weisberger’s roman-à-clef manuscript before it even hit shelves, thanks to insiders who worshipped the idea of Miranda Priestley as “one of the greatest villains ever.” Aline Brosh McKenna then punched up the script in a month-long sprint, pivoting from a straight book adaptation to a broader look at career sacrifices in the cutthroat fashion world.
Production wasn’t all smooth runway walks. People Magazine revealed that replicating the real-life aura of Anna Wintour caused more headaches than hitting deadlines at Runway magazine. Yet designer cameos and those unforgettable cerulean sweater moments cemented its pop culture status.
So here we are, primed for sequel fever. Hathaway’s TikTok nod, Tucci’s packing woes, Blunt’s executive rivalry hints and a stacked supporting cast are piling on the hype. Whether it lives up to the original’s charm or crashes under its own fashion weight remains to be seen.
And that’s your reality check. You’re welcome.
