Hathaway posted a photo of herself in character on Monday morning.
Anne Hathaway has officially reprised one of her chicest roles to date.
The 42-year-old actress shared a first-look photo of herself in costume while filming The Devil Wears Prada 2. The photo, posted to Instagram on Monday, sees Hathaway in a pinstripe vest and matching trousers, which she paired with pointed-toe boots and a gold T-bar necklace.
'Andy Sachs 2025 #dwp2,' Hathaway captioned the photo.
Hathaway was also seen filming the sequel on Monday. The actress, with her lightly tussled locks and rectangular shades, strutted down a New York City sidewalk in a sleeveless white top, unbuttoned black vest, light-washed denim skirt and Chanel slides.
The Idea of You star shared a video on TikTok earlier that morning, subtly nodding to the original film. With the caption, 'Heading to work #dwp2,' Hathaway wears a blue sweater while brushing her teeth. Fans, of course, remember the famous cerulean blue monologue from the 2006 film.
Confirmation that The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in the works came in June, when 20th Century Studios, the distributor for the original 2006 film, shared a 21-second clip on Instagram, which featured a pair of red stilettos with the devil's pitchfork as heels. The sequel is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
Based on the novel by Lauren Weisberger, the 2006 film follows recent journalism graduate Andy Sachs (Hathaway) as she's thrust into the fast-paced world of high fashion after becoming an assistant to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), the cutthroat editor in chief at Runway magazine. Streep earned an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Miranda, who was famously modeled after Vogue's former editor in chief Anna Wintour.
Nearly 20 years later, the sequel will focus on Priestly as she deals with the changing tides in fashion journalism and the decline of traditional magazine publishing. The indomitable editor will be forced to confront her former assistant Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), a now ultra-successful executive for a luxury group with financing that could determine the future of Runway magazine.
Hathaway, Streep and Blunt aren't the only stars reprising their roles in the sequel. Stanley Tucci, who played Priestly's stylish left-hand man in the original film, Tracie Thoms, who portrayed the best friend of Hathaway's character, and Tibor Feldman, the chairman of Runway's parent company, will also return.
New additions to the cast, according to Variety, include Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet and Kenneth Branagh, who will portray the husband of Streep's character.
Fashion, unsurprisingly, is at the forefront of the original beloved film. As Andy grows more comfortable in her new position, so does her inclination to express herself sartorially. We soon see her swapping cerulean blue sweaters for head-to-toe Chanel. Fans of the original can expect standout, high-end style to play just as significant a role in the sequel.
Production of The Devil Wears Prada 2 appears to be well underway, but Hathaway
initially had low expectations of it ever coming to fruition.
'Probably not,' she told V Magazine in 2024. 'We all love each other and if somebody could come up with a way to do it, I think we'd all be crazy not to. But there's a huge difference in the world now with technology, and one of the things about that particular story is it was about producing a physical object. Now with so much being digital, it would just be very different.'
