Anne Hathaway confirms Devil Wears Prada 2 is in production with a playful nod to original
On Monday, July 21, Anne Hathaway sent the internet into a frenzy with a brief but unmistakable TikTok video teasing her return to the world of Runway magazine.
The 42-year-old actress, beloved for her role in the 2006 cult fashion film, shared a cheeky six-second clip that had fans screaming one thing: cerulean.
In the video, Hathaway is seen hurriedly getting ready, this time brushing her teeth with an electric toothbrush, a modern upgrade from Andy's manual one in the original film's memorable job interview scene.
But it was her outfit that truly sent her followers spiraling.
The mother-of-two appeared to be wearing none other than a cerulean blue sweater—yes, the very color that Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) famously dissected in a now-legendary monologue.
'Heading to werk #dwp2,' the Oscar winner captioned the video, wearing the same shade that became the centerpiece of one of film's most unforgettable monologues.
In the original film, Andy finds herself chuckling during a Runway fashion meeting, only to be eviscerated by her boss.
'I see, you think this has nothing to do with you,' Priestly says. 'You go to your closet and you select, I don't know that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back.
She continues: 'But 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.'
'Then it trickled down into some tragic, casual corner where you fished it out of some clearance bin,' Priestly concludes. '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.'
The brief clip quickly exploded online, with commenters quoting Miranda's epic takedown of Andy's supposed fashion indifference.
Another confessed they felt 'like a kid waiting for Christmas for Devil Wears Prada SEQUEL!!!!'

'EVERYBODY STAY CALM ITS HAPPENING,' a third wrote.
Just hours later, Hathaway was spotted on set of the The Devil Wears Prada 2 wearing a white T-shirt under a black vest and a long light-wash denim skirt.
She completed the look with black sunglasses and wore her long hair in soft, loose waves.
True to her character, the actress held onto a folded newspaper, seemingly indicating Andy has remained in the world of journalism.
Her noticeably more chic ensemble also seemed to signal Andy has matured since her days as a fresh-faced personal assistant, almost 20 years ago.
Hathaway's wink to the fashion-forward film comes just weeks after confirmation that The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in development, with Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci all set to reprise their roles.

Joining them in the sequel are new cast members Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet.
According to early reports, the story will explore Miranda Priestly (Streep)'s struggle to stay relevant in an industry now dominated by digital media and declining print magazines.
Meanwhile, Blunt's character, Emily Charlton, has climbed the corporate ladder and now holds the power Miranda needs—setting the stage for a delicious clash of ambition, loyalty, and fashion politics.
While plot details are still under wraps, sources suggest the film may draw inspiration from Lauren Weisberger's 2013 novel Revenge Wears Prada, which follows Andy's post-Runway life as she becomes a magazine editor, only to find Miranda crashing back into her world.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, marking two decades since the original film strutted into pop culture history.

Oprah Winfrey picks Richard Russo's 'Bridge of Sighs' for her book club
Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Russo i s the latest author to be welcomed into the inner circle of Oprah Winfrey book club picks. Winfrey announced Tuesday that she had selected Russo's 'Bridge of Sighs,' a 2007 novel centered in a rural New York community. Russo has set much of his work in small, Northeastern towns, including 'Nobody's Fool,' later adapted into a movie of the same name that starred Paul Newman; and 'Empire Falls,' winner of the Pulitzer in 2002 and the basis for an Emmy-winning HBO series that featured Newman and his wife, Joanne Woodward. Winfrey often chooses new books for her club, but has at times looked to older releases, from Toni Morrison's 'The Bluest Eye' to John Steinbeck's 'East of Eden.' 'It is, of course, a profound honor to be chosen for Oprah's Book Club,' Russo said in a statement. 'But to be chosen for a novel written two decades earlier? A book that will introduce a whole new generation of readers to my work? How special is that?' A conversation between Winfrey and Russo, held recently at a Starbucks in Seattle, can be seen on Winfrey's YouTube channel and on other outlets where podcasts are aired. Starbucks is the current partner for Winfrey's book club, which she founded in 1996. On Tuesday, Winfrey issued a statement praising 'Bridge of Sighs' as a 'classic summer read,' with "romance, unrequited love, life-long friendships, and of course — epic family drama.' 'If you're a fan of Richard Russo or discovering him for the first time, here's your opportunity to read one of America's most beloved writers,' she added.

Jeans, controversy, used bathwater: Sydney Sweeney's selling it all. A showbiz masterclass, if you ask me
'SORRY FOR HAVING GREAT TITS AND CORRECT OPINIONS.' Not my words, readers (although, having said that …), but the words of a sweatshirt worn across the aforementioned acclaimed rack of Sydney Sweeney last year, shortly after some madly overheated controversy or other involving the Euphoria/Anyone But You star. I forget which controversy. Like Marvel movies, too many Sydney Sweeney controversies were made, and they all seemed to connect to each other in ways no one but the truly initiated could understand, so now only the saddos turn out for each and every one. You might dimly be aware there's another one going on at the moment, following Sydney's participation in an American Eagle denim advert – a fashion retail event which obviously spiralled into some fatuous blue jeans/red state flame-war that has seen deranged TikTokers claim something about 'eugenics', the president trouser-rubbingly decide he likes Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle shares climb 23% in a week. Tell me the US will still be Earth's dominant superpower in 30 years because I simply DON'T want to hear anything else. This is the behaviour of a culture with legs. (And a perfect ass, sorry if you can't handle it.) Anyway, aside from the white supremacist lunacy, there is frothing disquiet about the extent of Sweeney's commercial brand partnerships, which include Miu Miu, Armani Beauty and a men's grooming product firm for which she recently did a tongue-in-cheek ad to flog soap that contained trace elements of her bathwater. It all seems quite a lot of lucrative fun, which must, of course, be stamped on, particularly when it seems to be being had by a woman. I had to laugh at the intervention in a New York Times article of the fashion analyst who said: 'It seems like she's not embarrassed or ashamed by promoting all of these different projects.' Oh my God. Imagine! In fact, that explicit mention of shame reminded me of something that I'd read last year in the Guardian, which described Sydney Sweeney as 'problematic yet unashamed'. I do so enjoy these funny ways of talking – although perhaps one's not supposed to? I certainly genuinely loved the moment last year when Sweeney offered Vanity Fair a temperature check on the aspirational sisterhood of … hang on, let me get my reading glasses on … the Hollywood movie business. 'This entire industry, all people say is 'women empowering other women',' Sydney explained. 'None of it's happening. All of it is fake and a front for all the other shit that they say behind everyone's back.' Oof. Ladies and gentlemen, she went there. And how can you not love it? Chalk up another correct opinion and just accept that Sydney might not now get cast in a strong-female-led film based on a kids' book, inspired by a theme-park ride or commissioned by a toy company. As for Sydney's online adversaries, what is it that cliched enemy characters say in the movies? 'You and I, we are not so different after all.' Fact is, Sydney Sweeney is an actor. She wants attention. And – newsflash – so does some dreary TikToker making the nutty claim that American Eagle has done a white supremacist advert. They're just a million miles less good at it than Sydney. Unless, of course, my other theory is true: that there are masses of undercover Maga agents whose sole job is to pose as woke warriors and say things so provocatively dumb that they further degrade the already cratered global reputation of the American left. Or, to couch it in their preferred language: if the vice-president and Fox News seize delightedly and profitably upon the usefully idiotic things you say, then it's just possible you are in your least desirable location – 'the wrong side of history'. Or, to put it in even more basic terms: YOU ARE NOT HELPING. Furthermore – and perhaps even more importantly – you are making the world less amusing. What you have failed to understand is something that us normies know instinctively. Namely, that this is how we want our celebrities, and most particularly our movie stars, to act. Most ordinary people want – and have always wanted – their movie stars to be gorgeous, fantastical, completely ridiculous figures in any number of ways, or else they'd be the most boring thing in the world: just like us. We want our movie stars to be 'unashamedly' hot. We want our movie stars to tell us that they literally have to sell their own bathwater to eat, then find out they have a property empire that includes but is not limited to a $3m house in Westwood, a $6m house in Bel Air and a $13.5m house on a private Floridian island with a 520-bottle wine cellar, an aquarium and an infinity pool with a swim-up bar. Of course, not everyone's a normie. It will have come to your attention that there are some people out there who want celebrities to drone on about causes, to post like it makes the blindest bit of difference and to hold fundraisers for Joe Biden till it's miles too late. But these people are strategically bankrupt, don't really have a cultural hinterland and should largely be avoided at parties. Listen, five years ago, a commercially instinctive Sydney Sweeney would have done a feminist stunt or a tweet about mental health. Plenty of stars did, and made plenty from them. But nothing's static and vibes change, so stars are doing different starry things now. Or to put it another way: they're all in the infinity pool, but some of them are headed for the swim-up bar. That's showbiz – try not to choke on it. Marina Hyde is a Guardian columnist

Gary Numan's wife Gemma is hospitalised as she faces major spinal and kidney surgeries after years of agony
Gary Numan 's wife Gemma has been hospitalised as she prepares for major spinal and kidney surgeries following years of agonising pain, migraines and a mini-stroke. The mother of three, 57, shared the update after undergoing a spinal procedure in London to ease the chronic neck pain and migraines that have plagued her for the past two years. Posting a series of hospital bed selfies on Instagram on Monday, Gemma - who married synthpop icon Gary in 1997 - explained she was hoping the treatment would buy her enough time to get through the next few months before undergoing spinal surgery. 'Just had my spine procedure in London again like last year - it gave me 8 months relief,' she wrote. 'Then the neck pain and migraines came screaming back. So I've come again to hope to get me through the next few months until I absolutely have to have 5 cervical discs removed and replaced ASAP after the Gary Numan tour.' The procedure she had targets specific areas of the spine to ease nerve compression and inflammation - offering temporary pain relief until more invasive intervention can be scheduled. However, that is only the beginning of what Gemma describes as a long road ahead. Once her husband's global tour wraps later this year, she says she will return to Los Angeles, where the couple live with their three daughters Raven, Persia and Echo, to undergo a kidney autotransplantation - a rare and complex surgery in which her own kidney will be repositioned within her body. She says the operation has been recommended to treat nutcracker syndrome, a vascular disorder she was diagnosed with earlier this year after experiencing what she calls 'two years of weird harsh pains'. The condition occurs when the left renal vein is compressed, often causing severe flank pain, abdominal discomfort, and blood in the urine. Gemma added that she had also been diagnosed with May-Thurner syndrome, another vascular condition in which veins in the pelvis are compressed. As well as this, Gemma has pelvic congestion syndrome, a painful disorder caused by varicose veins in the pelvic region. 'May Thurner [syndrome] may have even caused the clot that led to the TIA I had last year!' she wrote, referencing a transient ischaemic attack, or mini-stroke, she suffered in 2024. 'I'm a broken nightmare! Hopefully getting fixed!' Gemma added, alongside heart emojis. The post was flooded with supportive messages from fans and friends, including singer Shirley Posting a series of hospital bed selfies on Instagram on Monday, Gemma - who married synthpop icon Gary in 1997 (Pictured) - explained she was hoping the treatment would buy her enough time to get through the next few months 'Just had my spine procedure in London again like last year - it gave me 8 months relief,' she wrote Manson of Garbage, who wrote: 'Dear GOD Gemma, I'm so sorry darling. What a lot to deal with. 'It totally sucks BUM. Feel better. You deserve a life free of pain. Sending love love love.' British punk designer Pam Hogg also offered her support, writing: 'Omg Gemma ��.. so sad t hear you're still going through this ��.. sending you all my love .. take care beautiful xxx.' The candid post marks one of the first times Gemma has spoken in detail about her full slate of diagnoses. Her health troubles have increasingly come to light in recent years. In mid-2024, Gary revealed Gemma had undergone treatment for a heart arrhythmia that had seen her pulse spike to dangerously high levels - describing it as a 'scary time' for the family. Not long after, he disclosed on social media that she had suffered a mini-stroke. At the time, the family was preparing for his UK tour, and Gary hinted that the medical emergency had been a shock to them all. Gemma has been married to the Cars singer for nearly three decades. She is credited with helping shape his public comeback in the 2000s after his career dipped in the late 80s and early 90s.
