Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci discussed Andy Sachs' fashion evolution in the upcoming The Devil Wears Prada 2 in a recent interview. Hathaway explained that Andy's wardrobe now 'lives at the corner of practical and fabulous' as she has a bigger salary and more accomplished career. The costumes reflect Andy earning her fashion sense rather than a sudden makeover like in the first film.

Why it matters

The Devil Wears Prada was a landmark film that captured the ruthless world of high fashion. The sequel will explore how Andy's style has matured over the years, reflecting her growth both personally and professionally.

The details

Hathaway said it was a 'big conversation' to decide how Andy's style would evolve, as the character underwent a dramatic wardrobe transformation in the first film. This time, the filmmakers wanted to ensure Andy's closet felt authentic for someone who worked at Runway magazine in their 20s and then traveled the world. Her curated, 'expensive' wardrobe is on full display in the official trailer.

  • The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
