Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci opted for a touch of method dressing on Tuesday, as the trio coordinated in bright red looks for a screening of The Devil Wears Prada 2 in New York City.
The three film stars channelled the highly-anticipated sequel’s aesthetic by sporting sophisticated and scarlet themed ensembles that looked straight out of the hallowed halls of Runway magazine.
Anne, 43, stood out from the crowd in a button-up shirt dress with a satin collar, matching perfectly to her satin stilettos, Aspinal of London handbag and classic red lip.
While the Oscar-winner ensured she was the centre of attention as she layered a eye-catching leopard print coat over the top, beaming widely to showcase her radiant and youthful looks.
Not to be outdone, Emily, 43, put her best fashion foot forward as she arrived at the Metrograph in a chic red knitted cardigan teamed with a contrasting leather pencil skirt.
And Stanley, 65, showed everyone how it is done as he stepped out in a satin double-breasted blazer, with black slacks and a classic white button-up and finished with a patterned maroon tie.

The stars have been pulling out their best looks yet on the promotional trail for The Devil Wears Prada 2, to pay homage to the film being a love letter to high-end fashion.
The sequel sees Anne reprising her role as Andy Sachs to reunite with Emily, Stanley and Meryl Streep’s icy editor, Miranda Priestly, as the group dive back into the cutthroat world of high fashion – but this time with a modern twist.
The sequel will also introduce a host of new faces, including Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh and Lucy Liu.
Donatella Versace, Ciara and Ashley Graham also have cameos whilst Justin Theroux plays Emily’s boyfriend Benji, Kenneth Branagh is Miranda’s new husband and Simone Ashley plays Miranda’s current first assistant.
Filming has taken place across New York and Milan, with behind-the-scenes glimpses already sending fans into a frenzy.
The original Devil Wears Prada wasn’t just a box office smash – it cemented itself as a cultural touchstone, turning Meryl’s Miranda into an instantly iconic character and inspiring a generation of fashion lovers to whisper ‘That’s all’.
The Devil Wears Prada cast have been doing their best to keep most details under wraps, but the official plot for the sequel reads: ‘As Miranda Priestly nears retirement, she reunites with Andy Sachs to face off against her former assistant turned rival: Emily Carlton.’
While reviews for the sequel are still under embargo, early reactions on social media have been overwhelmingly positive, while critics have warned fans to ‘gird your loins… it is phenomenal.’
The Hollywood Reporter’s Alex Weprin shared on X that the movie is ‘a biting media parody wrapped up in high fashion. Every journalist who sees it will cringe from recognition.’
Variety writer Jazz Tangcay agreed, teasing: ‘Gird your loins, the devil is back in all her glory! Yes, #thedevilwearsprada2 is phenomenal. It is the perfect sequel that exceeded all expectations.

But those who have attended early screenings for the movie have also been left raising their eyebrows, as it seemingly mocks billionaire pair Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez after they funded the Met Gala.
The power couple are the financial sponsors for this year’s event and serve as co-chairs alongside Anna Wintour, Beyoncé and Nicole Kidman.
However, Bezos and Sanchez could be in for an awkward evening when the biggest night in fashion returns on May 4, as the gala is said to have a big tie-in with The Devil Wears Prada 2 – which many fans are claiming parody the pair.
Early viewers are said to have clocked a similarity between Sanchez and the character of Emily Charlton, the social-climbing assistant to Miranda.
In the sequel, Emily has left Runway magazine and is working for Christian Dior but is desperate to increase her status, dating a pompous billionaire tech mogul played by Justin Theroux.
His character Benji is said to be based on a mashup of Bezos and Elon Musk, as per Variety, who is seen in flashbacks wearing layers of ‘fat’ prosthetics before coming into extreme wealth, losing weight and lavishly spending on his partner.
Benji’s first wife is billed as a philanthropist who uses her divorce payout to help others – in an apparent nod to Bezos’ ex MacKenzie Scott.
A subplot in Prada 2 sees Emily and Benji look into purchasing Runway, which could be a nod to the rumour that the Bezos and Sanchez have been trying to purchase Vogue’s publisher Condé Nast.
Sanchez previously claimed she ‘wished’ she had a stake in Conde Nast, while eyebrows were raised by Anna Wintour’s decision to put Sanchez on the digital cover last year in her wedding gown.
It’s also been reported that Prada 2’s screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna prepared the script by interviewing former and current Condé Nast employees.
A spokesperson for Emily told Variety it was ‘absolutely not true’ that her character was based on Sánchez Bezos, while Disney had no comment on the matter.

Now Sanchez and Bezos could face an awkward night at the Met Gala next month, given the Prada 2 cast are expected to attend.
There has already been backlash to the billionaire’s involvement in the gala, which raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
Just steps away from the Metropolitan Museum of Art on 81st Street and Third Avenue on the Upper East Side, protest posters have been pasted on the boarded-up entrance of the now-closed Daona Deli.
The giant posters bear two very bold messages. The first showed what appeared to be a plastic water bottle filled with urine on a red carpet in front of flashing camera lights.
‘The Bezos Met Gala,’ the sign read. ‘Brought to you by worker exploitation.’
A large, bright red poster next to it displayed an even more scathing message in bold white letters, reading, ‘Boycott the Bezos Met Gala.’
Underneath, in smaller font, the poster shared a message that said: ‘There’s no dressing it up. Met Gala chair Jeff Bezos avoids tax, enables ICE, and backs Trump. Don’t let him get away with it.’
It is not immediately clear who put the posters up, but they seem to be in reference to previous allegations against Bezos’ company.
In 2023, three Amazon delivery drivers, including an Iraq War veteran, claimed in a lawsuit they were forced to urinate in bottles and defecate in dog waste bags to keep up with the company’s demands.
The lawsuit accused Amazon of subjecting employees to ‘inhumane’ working conditions that saw them go to the bathroom inside delivery vans.
In response, Amazon spokesperson Sam Stephenson told The Denver Post: ‘We want to make it clear that we encourage our Delivery Service Partners to support their drivers.
‘That includes giving drivers the time they need for breaks in between stops, providing a list within the Amazon Delivery app of nearby restroom facilities and gas stations, and building in time on routes to use the restroom or take longer breaks.’
The case has been stayed.
Continuing their promo trail, Meryl and Emily later stopped by Global Radio to chat about the eagerly-anticipated film with Amanda Holden
In November, Wintour responded to criticism surrounding the couple’s role as Met Gala sponsors in an interview with CNN, telling the outlet that Sanchez is a ‘great lover of costume and obviously of fashion.’
She said that she believes that Sanchez would be a ‘wonderful asset to the museum and the event.’
‘We’re very grateful for her incredible generosity,’ Wintour continued. ‘So we’re thrilled she’s part of the night.’
This year’s dress code is ‘fashion is art,’ which will serve as a more specific baseline for guests against the gala’s overall theme of ‘costume art.’
The star-studded guest list includes members of the host committee, such as Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Misty Copeland, Lena Dunham, Angela Bassett, Sam Smith and Chase Sui Wonders.
The New York City museum will pair historical and contemporary garments from the Costume Institute for the exhibition, which will be loosely divided into three categories: the classical body and the nude body, aging bodies and pregnant bodies, and the anatomical body.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is released in cinemas on May 1
