Heels Down: Anne Hathaway's Epic Stumble in 'Devil Wears Prada' Sequel!
The Devil Wears Prada Sequel: The Drama, the Fashion, and the Fallout
It's been over a decade since Anne Hathaway sashayed into our lives as the lovable but clueless Andy Sachs in the iconic 2006 film adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's roman à clef novel. But now, get ready for the sequel - and we've got all the juicy deets!
As production gets underway on The Devil Wears Prada: The Next Chapter, it seems that drama is already brewing off-screen. Anne Hathaway, 42, was spotted taking a tumble down a New York City stoop while filming what appeared to be a pivotal scene. But was it a genuine mishap or just another cleverly staged moment for the cameras? We can't help but wonder!
And speaking of clever staging, we've got our eyes on Anne's fashion choices for the sequel. She's been spotted wearing some seriously stylish (and daring) outfits - including a see-through checked blouse that left little to the imagination! Her lithe physique is still turning heads, and her latest getup includes orange-tinted shades, a string of pearls, and a black purse that's perfect for carrying all those fashion must-haves.
But it's not just Anne who's bringing the drama (and fashion) this time around. Meryl Streep, who reprised her role as the fearsome fashion editor Miranda Priestly in the original film, is back to wreak havoc on Andy's life once again. And let's be real - Meryl never fails to steal every scene she's in!
Other returning cast members include Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling, the waspish art director of Runway magazine, and Emily Blunt as the perpetually harried senior assistant Emily Charlton (who has been rumored to have been inspired by former Vogue writer Victoria 'Plum' Sykes). We can only assume that Plum herself is not too pleased about the whole ordeal...
But there's more! The sequel promises to bring in some fresh faces, including Kenneth Branagh as Miranda's new husband and Australian heartthrob Patrick Brammall as Andy's latest love interest. And let's not forget the newcomers: Timothée Chalamet's sister Pauline and YouTube star Amelia Dimoldenberg of Chicken Shop Date fame!
So what can we expect from The Devil Wears Prada: The Next Chapter? According to Variety, the movie follows Miranda as she attempts to steer Runway through a new media landscape. But here's the catch - her old world of print magazines is rapidly becoming obsolete in the digital age! Talk about a challenge for our favorite fashionista.
And what about Lauren Weisberger's novel, Revenge Wears Prada? Well, it seems that the movie adaptation has deviated from the book's plot. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how they choose to weave their own narrative!
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Anna Wintour - the now-outgoing Vogue chief who inspired Miranda Priestly in the first place - is still stirring up drama. Her former assistant Lauren Weisberger wrote a roman à clef novel about her time at Vogue, and let's just say it didn't exactly paint her boss in the most flattering light.
When asked by the New York Times if she felt betrayed by Lauren's book, Anna breezily replied that she was "looking forward to reading" it. But one of her subordinates claimed that behind the scenes, Anna was "spitting fire" and "felt she had been used and abused" by Weisberger.
Fast-forward a few years, and we see Anna leaning into the publicity for the movie adaptation - even attending the New York City premiere in Prada! Talk about embracing your inner fashionista!
And what does Anna think of Lauren's novel now? Well, she gave a rather...diplomatic answer to CNN: "I choose to look at it in a positive way." But rumor has it that she was still fuming behind the scenes.
Stay tuned for more updates from The Devil Wears Prada sequel - we can't wait to see what drama unfolds next!
