The fashion world of cinema is once again abuzz, as Anne Hathaway unveiled her highly anticipated return as Andy Sachs in the upcoming sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. With the first glimpse of her new look now public, longtime fans of the cult classic are counting down the days until Miranda Priestly’s world of high fashion graces the big screen once more.
First Look Sparks Fan Frenzy
On Tuesday, Hathaway took to Instagram to debut her transformation back into Andy Sachs, the wide-eyed journalist-turned-fashion-assistant who charmed audiences in the 2006 hit. Captioned “Andy Sachs 2025 #dwp,” the post instantly ignited a social media storm. Fans flooded the comments with adoration and nostalgia.
One follower affectionately wrote, “Okay, Andy Sachs, but for me you will always be Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo,” referencing Hathaway’s other iconic role in The Princess Diaries. Another chimed in with, “Can’t wait for the movie,” summing up the collective anticipation that’s sweeping across fan circles.
This reveal came hot on the heels of a teaser from the film’s production team, which shared a motion poster featuring the unforgettable red stiletto with a devilish pitchfork—an homage to the first film’s iconic promotional imagery.
Revisiting a Fashion Classic
Based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel, The Devil Wears Prada centers on Andy Sachs, a recent college graduate who lands a coveted job as an assistant to Miranda Priestly, the steely editor-in-chief of a top fashion magazine. The original film captured the trials, transformation, and identity crisis of navigating the cutthroat fashion world, all wrapped in designer labels and razor-sharp wit.
Released in 2006 and directed by David Frankel, the film starred Hathaway alongside Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. It became both a box office success and a beloved cultural touchstone, praised for its performances, biting humor, and style-defining wardrobe.
Though full plot details for the sequel remain under wraps, Hathaway’s reveal has sparked speculation on what Andy Sachs’s world looks like nearly two decades later—and how her dynamic with Miranda Priestly may evolve.
Hathaway’s Career Momentum
Anne Hathaway has been on a roll. Earlier this year, she starred in the romantic comedy The Idea of You, opposite Nicholas Galitzine. Directed by Michael Showalter and adapted from the novel by Robinne Lee, the film was well-received by both fans and critics for its emotional depth and engaging chemistry.
Looking ahead, Hathaway’s schedule is packed. Beyond The Devil Wears Prada 2, she’s lined up to star in several high-profile projects, including Mother Mary, The Odyssey, Flowervale Street, and Verity. Each film signals a different shade of her versatility—from epic adventures to psychological thrillers and more nuanced dramas.
What Comes Next
With production on Devil Wears Prada 2 officially underway and Hathaway already in character, fans can expect more promotional reveals in the coming months. Whether or not Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci will reprise their roles remains unconfirmed, but the hope among fans is that the sequel will reunite the original dream team.
In a film landscape saturated with reboots and sequels, Devil Wears Prada 2 stands out for its potential to balance nostalgia with fresh storytelling. For now, all eyes are on Hathaway—and fashionistas everywhere are eagerly awaiting the return of Andy Sachs.
