Simone Ashley and Pauline Chalamet Film ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2'
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is currently filming in New York City, which means fans and paparazzi have been around much every single shoot that takes place in public. And so far there are a lot—like, to the point where multiple looks of Anne Hathaways have already been leaked. But on top of Anne (and Meryl Streep!) being spotted filming the highly anticipated sequel, The Devil Wears Prada newcomers Simone Ashley and Pauline Chalamet were just seen on set by fans. Obsessed! And here's a closer look at Simone Ashley's dress, which appears to be the Harness Tapestry Dress by Monse (FYI Taylor Swift wore a similar one to the VMAS). Discover our alien UFO print, inspired by the iconic sci-fi films of the 1950s. This nostalgic design adds a playful yet sophisticated twist to your wardrobe, blending vintage charm with modern flair. Perfect for making a statement wherever you go! According to Variety, The Devil Wears Prada 2 follows Miranda Priestly "as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs." Other new additions to the cast include Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Helen J. Shen, Conrad Ricamora, Caleb Hearon, and Kenneth Branagh. No info yet on Simone and Pauline's roles (they were cast in early July so this is all very new), but judging from their characters fashionable fits they appear to be Runway adjacent. Meanwhile, Anne Hathaway spoke about rebooting The Devil Wears Prada and The Princess Diaries with WWD, saying "I was so beautifully cared for on both of those films. I was a baby, like a legal child, when I made Princess Diaries — I turned 18 while we were making it, and I was a very, very young woman when I made Devil Wears Prada. I was so guided and looked after and cared for by the communities that made both of those films in particular, each of their directors, Garry Marshall and David Frankel. I'm so excited that now I can do that for other people, that now I have the knowledge and the experience and the confidence to take care of other people on sets in which I'm looked at as a leader."

Addressed: Let's Talk About Pedal Pushers
Welcome to Addressed, a weekly column where we, ahem, address the joys (and tribulations!) of getting dressed. So far, we've unpacked how to wear shorts at the office and beyond, how to pack a carry-on bag for a work trip, how to dress with style in your third trimester, and even how to layer without looking like that chair in your room (you know the one). Download the Vogue app, and find our Style Advice section to submit your question. Forget low-rise skinny jeans. There's another pant style that spurs dread with merely the mention of its name. I'm talking about pedal pushers, which rose to fame in the 1950s and '60s as symbols of youthful femininity, though as their name suggests their popularity had practical roots—they're fitted trousers gathered under the knee so that they don't catch on bicycle chains. These humble little pants have been much maligned in recent years. In fact, they haven't been 'properly' popular (say that three times fast!) since the 1980s, though they did enjoy a brief comeback in the early aughts. Circa Y2K, there was the iconic (really) West Side Story-inspired Gap commercial, in which dancers squared off wearing denim or khaki pedal pushers (Are You a Jean or a Khaki?), and there was the Sex and the City episode when Carrie Bradshaw wore skin-tight tie-dye pedal pushers with a backwards Chanel blouse and met the stoner comic book guy who still lived with his mom in 'a classic six on the Upper East Side with a terrace and a view of the park.' The style also appeared on the runways of the era's ur-cool girls, like Stella McCartney and Chloé's Phoebe Philo; and on avant-garde designers like Miguel Adrover (whose pinstriped pedal-pushers actually made it to Carrie's wardrobe (meanwhile, an Adrover-inspired pair purchased at Urban Outfitters made it to mine). Stella McCartney, spring 2002 ready-to-wear Photo: Sylvain Belan / Shoot Digital for Chloé by Phoebe Philo, spring 2002 ready-to-wear Photo: Sylvain Belan / Shoot Digital for Carrie Bradshaw, noted pedal-pusher fan.

Photo: Charles Sykes/Shutterstock And yet, as people mine Y2K for every single article of clothing—whether loved or reviled—pedal pushers have somehow been left behind. Until now, that is. Even now, it's not that they're entirely back, but rather that we've been seeing them for the past few seasons and each time the allure grows stronger than the disdain. Last summer I impulsively purchased white cotton eyelet pedal pushers. They promptly disappeared at the bottom of my pants drawer, I just couldn't make them work. Then last week Emily Ratajkowski stepped out—twice—in black skintight Norma Kamali pedal pushers: first with a groovy raglan baseball tee, and later with a fitted portrait collar jacket with mismatched buttons, and black patent leather sandal mules. She embodied a kind of easy, breezy, summer cool that I instantly desired. It was obvious I needed to figure out this whole pedal pusher situation. Herewith, a list of rules to abide by. First, the pedal pusher must be skintight (or generally very close to the skin) and must end right underneath the knee. Above the knee it is a bermuda short, below the calf it is a cropped pant; and the wider the pant leg the further you stray into culotte and nu-metal shorts territory. If wearing leggings as pants scares you (it scares me), look for small details. A thicker scuba-like fabric can provide the same sleek look with a little bit more coverage, while a button-fly or a hidden side zipper more obviously signal, 'I'm wearing a pant,' with the added bonus that you can more comfortably tuck your top into the waistband.
