For some special occasions, one prepares in advance. Shoes, dress, accessories: all are chosen with the strictest attention so that you shine, whatever the setting. And it may be that someone, impatient, has already decided on the outfit that they’ll show off when they finally get to see The Devil Wears Prada 2.
And for those who, on the other hand, still don’t have a clear idea? There’s still time before the film, the long-awaited sequel to 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada, hits theaters on May 1, but in the meantime, perhaps they could take the advice of the one and only Andy Sachs, Anne Hathaway herself. In a recent interview with Vogue, Hathaway encouraged fans to put their best sartorial foot forward when they head to the theater for the hotly anticipated sequel.
“I’m hoping everybody dresses up and goes to the movies,” Hathaway said.
In the nearly 20 years since the original film’s release, the fanbase for the movie, which co-stars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, all of whom will return in the sequel, has only grown.
“I hope people remember how much fun they had wearing hot pink and going to see Barbie,” Hathaway added. “I’m hoping that everybody puts on their favorite Miranda Priestly-approved outfit and just has a blast.”
If Hathaway has her way, showings of The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be a real fashion show. And who knows, perhaps in that sea of glam someone will be brave enough to challenge the Runway editor and wear a cerulean sweater.
