Meryl Streep's Prada 2 Heel-Tripping Faux Pas: A Fashion Icon Takes a Fall!
MERYL STEEP'S MET GALA MOMENT!
The Queen of Hollywood, Meryl Streep, 76, gave a sassy display of her famous fashion sense yesterday when she took a tumble on the stairs at New York's Museum of Natural History while filming the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. The triple Oscar-winner was seen tripping and falling to the ground in a stunning red gown and towering heels, but what really got our attention is that she didn't miss a beat - laughing off the blunder with co-star Stanley Tucci before he gallantly helped her up!
This isn't Meryl's first time on the catwalk. She has played the iconic role of Miranda Priestly in the original 2006 film, which became a cultural phenomenon and earned her two Oscar nominations. Now, she's back to reprise her role as the ruthless fashion editor who rules the world of Runway magazine.
But it looks like things have changed since the first movie. The sequel is set in a rapidly changing media landscape, where print media is declining, and Miranda is struggling against her former assistant-turned-rival-executive Emily Charlton for advertising revenue. It's going to be a wild ride!
Meryl wasn't alone on the red carpet, as she was joined by co-star Stanley Tucci, who returns as fashion authority Nigel, and newcomer Simone Ashley from Bridgerton fame. But what really caught our eye is that Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt are rejoining the cast in their original roles - but we can't help wondering if they'll still be wearing those infamous stilettos!
The rest of the cast includes a star-studded lineup, including Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet, Kenneth Branagh, Tracie Thomas, B.J. Novak, and Justin Theroux. It's going to be a true A-list extravaganza!
But what about Meryl's fashion choices? We can't help but wonder if she was trying to give us a sneak peek into the Met Gala-inspired scene in which she tripped. Let's take a closer look:
A Closer Look at Meryl's Fashion Choices
Meryl looked absolutely stunning as she made her way up the stairs, wearing a glamorous red gown with towering heels that seemed almost impossible to walk in. We're talking Anna Wintour-esque level of fabulousness here!
But before attempting the scene in full costume, Meryl had a practice run on the stairs wearing a pair of wedged sandals - talk about dedication! And let's be real, who wouldn't want to wear a red gown and towering heels every day?
This isn't Meryl's first fashion mishap. Who could forget Gigi Hadid tripping on the Met Gala stairs in 2021? Or Janelle Monae taking a tumble in 2024? It seems like even the most seasoned stars can have a moment of clumsiness!
A Conversation with Anne Hathaway
In an interview with The Scholarly Note, Anne Hathaway talked about reprising her role as Andy Sachs and working on the sequel. "I was so beautifully cared for on both of those films," she recalled, adding that she had been young when making both The Devil Wears Prada and The Princess Diaries.
"I was so guided and looked after and cared for by the communities that made both of those films in particular, each of their directors - Garry Marshall and David Frankel. I'm so excited that now I can do that for other people, that now I have the knowledge and the experience and the confidence to take care of other people on sets in which I'm looked at as a leader."
It's clear that Anne is ready to bring her A-game to the sequel, and we can't wait to see what she has in store for us!
When Can We See The Devil Wears Prada 2?
The highly anticipated sequel will hit theaters next May, marking exactly 20 years since the original film was released. With a budget of $35-41 million, it's expected to rake in big bucks - just like its predecessor, which earned a whopping $326.7 million at the box office.
