Gird your loins (and your wardrobe) for The Devil Wears Prada 2
Meryl Streep has been seen prepping for The Devil Wears Prada 2 on the streets of New York, with Priestly sporting her signature silver, side-swept hair, a sleek leather skirt from designer Gabriela Hearst, and shielding those professionally judgmental eyes with a pair of pitch-black Jimmy Choo sunglasses.
While Streep's character in the movie always has the final word – 'that's all' – as the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, it's the return of Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs that has fashion fans zooming in on photographs of costume labels for inspiration.
In the original movie from 2006, Chanel dominated Sachs' wardrobe, once Nigel (Stanley Tucci) helped her dispose of that cerulean blue sweater and introduced the character to tweed and thigh-high boots. This time the film's costume designers are casting the net wider, although so far, no Prada.
If you want to get ahead of the film's planned May 1, 2026 release date and steal Hathaway's looks, start with the Gabriela Hearst multicolour embroidered maxi-dress.
While the label isn't Chanel, the price tag is just as impressive, with the dress available from Gabriela Hearst for $13,400. The pale blue Fendi handbag Sachs carries is slightly more within reach of mere, mortgaged mortals at $2680 (although it's currently sold out).
More accessible and inspiring is an Agolde denim maxi-skirt worn by Hathaway with a simple white singlet from Toteme. While the originals are difficult to find, a quick trip to Cotton On or Kmart could put you on the right track, if it's unlikely you'll be standing near Wintour or the equally fearsome Streep playing Priestly in the near future.
The sold-out Chanel velcro sandals, which have a touch of the German backpacker (from the right side of Berlin) about them, worn with the everyday outfit by Hathaway, debuted in former creative director Virginie Viard's autumn 2022 collection and are now being sought out on second-hand sites.

Dua Lipa made a citizen of Kosovo
Dua Lipa has been awarded Kosovo citizenship. The Levitating singer was born in London to Kosovar Albanian parents and was serenaded by a children's choir as she received the honour from Kosovar president Vjosa Osmani on Thursday (31.07.25). The politician posted on social media platform X: "Welcome back home, Dua. "Dua and Kosovo have always been inseparable. From the world's biggest stages to the hearts of millions, she's carried our story with strength, pride and grace. She's pushed boundaries, made history, and reminded the world that greatness begins with knowing who you are and where you come from." The 29-year-old pop star previously had Albanian citizenship granted in 2022 - with the country's president Bajram Begaj describing her as a "simple girl" who has given "great pride" to the nation. He said at the ceremony: "It is a special pleasure to welcome the great artist Dua Lipa today. I say great artist, but she is also a simple girl, who has given the greatest pride to us, Albania, Kosovo and wherever there are Albanians in the world. Albanian youth is an example and a source of inspiration for you and you have shown that dreams can be achieved by working harder. Tomorrow we celebrate the 110th anniversary of the declaration of independence and today the joint meeting of the Assembly of Albania and the Assembly of Kosovo took place. "Although art is not related to politics, it brings all people together and with your art, you have brought us together in this jubilee year! On this occasion, I am pleased to grant you Albanian citizenship." Meanwhile, Dua confirmed in June that she and her actor partner Callum Turner were engaged after months of speculation following an Instagram post last Christmas that featured her with a diamond ring on her wedding finger. The Houdini hitmaker told Britain's Vogue magazine: "Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting." Of her ring, Dua added: "I'm obsessed with it. It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well." The couple - who started dating in January 2024 - are yet to set a wedding date because of their hectic work schedules. Dua said: "I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. "I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. "All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'"

It's about time someone said it: paparazzi are artists and heroes
They've probably been popping up on your feed all week, glorious street-side shots of Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep and, uh, Stanley Tucci in an endless array of fancy outfits from the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2. It feels as though the film was announced barely weeks ago, but already we're getting endless peeks into the Millennial equivalent of The Godfather Part II, and it's all due to one maligned group: paparazzi. Paparazzi are heroes, essential workers on the front lines of pop culture. Of course, no one ever thinks of them this way. Instead, they just get blamed for things like Britney Spears' nervous breakdown and killing Princess Diana. Paparazzi didn't kill Princess Diana, you did. Sure, not you specifically, but you in the collective sense. The value for the work paparazzi do only exists because the demand does. It's like blaming the employee at the tobacco shop for the vaping epidemic. Paparazzi don't even get credit for their iconic contributions to pop culture. Tell me who shot influential works of art like the famous 'Bimbo Summit' photo of Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in the back of a car, or that picture of Kirsten Dunst eating salad while Jake Gyllenhaal looks on, disgusted. No one knows! The credit usually just goes to some vague agency with a name like Backgrid or X17. Meanwhile, 'Bimbo Summit' is on t-shirts and the photographer doesn't even see a cut. In fact, they're probably still in hiding from all the people who yell 'Princess Di killer' at them. And this is at a time when paparazzi aesthetics have become shorthand for internet cool. For their recent album I Quit, pop band Haim did an entire series of singles covers recreating famous paparazzi shots: Nicole Kidman, arms outstretched post-divorce from Tom Cruise; Scarlett Johansson and Jared Leto mid lip-lock; Keira Knightley and Jamie Dornan in boot cut jeans and scarves. All across Instagram, the selfie is dead but the pap pic – generally involving celebrities walking, on yachts, or frolicking on beaches – thrives. No one wants to praise a paparazzo, but everyone wants to jack their style. Paparazzi are ingenious like cartoon coyotes. Songwriter Benny Blanco once told me that, when he was recording Circus with Britney Spears, paparazzi took shifts hiding in the bushes outside the studio waiting for the pop star to pop up. In Jeff Weiss' entertaining new book Waiting For Britney, a gonzo memoir told from inside the bowels of mid-'00s tabloid culture, he recalls the time he and his photographer dressed like security bouncers and managed to sneak backstage at Britney's infamous MTV VMAs meltdown. When he describes his attempts at securing the first pics of Angelina Jolie sunbaking at Brad Pitt's cliffside mansion following Pitt's split from Jennifer Aniston, you'll finally understand what it means to be dedicated to one's work. The paparazzi have also often inspired their targets to create their best work, like Britney Spears' Piece of Me, Taylor Swift's Reputation and Lady Gaga's Paparazzi (obviously). Just last month, they rejuvenated the career of Justin Bieber, who slagged off some cameraman who was following him at the beach by yelling the now iconic phrase 'It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business?', a tirade that reignited Bieber's muse and became the basis of his successful comeback album, Swag. Considering her increasingly contentious relationship with photographers, it's clear Chappell Roan 's next album is going to be the greatest masterpiece ever recorded. Even those with the barest understanding of celebrity culture understand the mutually beneficial relationship between paparazzi and publicity machines, that one hand feeds the other with that most significant currency of our era: attention. Paparazzi are the only attention-seekers I can get behind. Even their singular noun is cool: paparazzo, stemming from the Italian words 'papa' meaning 'dad' and 'razzo' meaning 'rocket'. Dad rocket. If this sounds wrong, just know my grandmother was Sicilian. Unlike Stanley Tucci, whose family is Calabrian. Look, I only ended on this weird fact so I could somehow tie this all back to The Devil Wears Prada 2, which I think I just did.
