Anne Hathaway sends fans into frenzy by teasing return to The Devil Wears Prada 2
In a TikTik that has sent fans of the original movie into a tizzy, actress Anne Hathaway has teased her return to The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Anne Hathaway has teased her return to The Devil Wears Prada 2.
The 42-year-old actress posted a short clip in which she appeared to confirm her return as Andy Sachs, the wide-eyed assistant turned journalist who first graced the screen in the first movie in 2006, with her TikTok footage sending fans into a frenzy over the upcoming release of a follow-up.
“Heading to werk #dwp2,” she captioned the video — but it was her wardrobe that caused the biggest stir.
In the clip, Anne is seen brushing her teeth with an electric toothbrush, a subtle nod to Andy’s original interview scene in the first film.
But the detail that truly caught fans’ attention was her cerulean blue sweater — a shade immortalised by Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly in her now-famous monologue.
The original film, based on Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling novel, followed Andy Sachs’ foray into the ruthless world of fashion journalism at Runway magazine.
It became a cultural landmark, praised for its performances, fashion, and biting commentary on the industry.
The new video comes just weeks after Disney confirmed The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in development.
Anne will reprise her role alongside 75-year-old Meryl Streep as Miranda and 41-year-old Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton. Stanley Tucci, 63, is also returning as art director Nigel.
New additions to the cast include Lucy Liu, 55, Justin Theroux, 53, B.J. Novak, 45, and 32-year-old Pauline Chalamet.
Plot details remain under wraps, but sources suggest the story will explore Miranda’s struggle to remain influential in an industry overtaken by digital platforms and shrinking print media.
Emily, now a powerful executive, holds the influence Miranda needs – setting the stage for a power shift that may upend old dynamics.
While Anne’s teaser offered no spoken dialogue, the choice of wardrobe and caption immediately triggered a wave of quotes from fans.
One wrote: “SHE’S WEARING THAT CERULEAN BLUE!!!!” while another added: “EVERYBODY STAY CALM IT’S HAPPENING.”
Anne was later photographed on set wearing a black vest over a white T-shirt, a long denim skirt, and oversized sunglasses.
She held a folded newspaper under her arm—suggesting Andy remains tied to journalism, nearly two decades after her Runway days.
In Miranda’s original monologue, she eviscerated Andy’s fashion apathy by saying: “You go to your closet and you select, I don’t know, that lumpy blue sweater… what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean.”
She continued: “That blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs… and it’s sort of comical how you think you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry.”
Fans now await confirmation on how closely the new film will follow Lauren Weisberger’s 2013 novel Revenge Wears Prada, which sees Andy running her own bridal magazine before Miranda re-enters her life unexpectedly.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled for a cinema release on 1 May 2026.
