"Devil Wears Prada 2" Begins Production with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci Returning; Kenneth Branagh Joins Cast
Yara Sameh Production has begun on the highly anticipated 'The Devil Wears Prada", with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci returning. In addition to the stars of the original 2006 film, Kenneth Branagh will join the cast as the husband of Miranda Presley (Streep), the demanding editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. Disney's 20th Century Studios confirmed the news on Instagram, sharing only a teaser of two devilish red pumps. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 20th Century Studios (@20thcenturystudios) Based on Lauren Weisberger's 2004 novel, 'The Devil Wears Prada' follows aspiring journalist Andy Sachs (Hathaway) who is hired at a glossy fashion magazine (it's a job a million girls 'would kill' to get!) but finds herself at the mercy of her demanding editor-in-chief. The dishy book is a roman à clef; Weisberger briefly worked as Anna Wintour's assistant at Vogue. In especially timely news, Wintour announced last week her plans to step down as American Vogue's editor-in-chief after 37 years. Plot details for the sequel haven't been confirmed, but the storyline reportedly follows Miranda Priestly as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing. She faces off against Blunt's character, her one-time assistant who is now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs. It's not clear how Hathaway's Andy Sachs will factor into the story; at the end of the first film, she quits Runway and takes a job at a newspaper. David Frankel and Aline Brosh McKenna, who directed and wrote the original film, are returning for the sequel. Producer Karen Rosenfelt also returns. 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' will open in theaters on May 1, 2026. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean Arts & Culture "6 Ayam" Sets Streaming Date

Shahira Lasheen's Ceremony N.05 is Inspired by Pre-Wedding Rituals
Shahira Lasheen's Ceremony N.05 is Inspired by Pre-Wedding Rituals With 'Ceremony N.05: Stories in Golden Thread', Shahira Lasheen is archiving emotion. One stitch at a time. In a fashion landscape obsessed with immediacy, Ceremony N.05 feels like a breath drawn between generations. The fifth chapter in the House's annual capsule series, Ceremony has always been a quiet act of devotion to the detail Egyptian craftsmanship. THE MUSE This season, Shahira turns inward, tracing the sacred thread that ties mothers to daughters, and daughters to the lives they'll go on to live. 'Each piece is a vessel,' as one House note reads. 'Not stitched to impress. Stitched to remember.' THE COLLECTION DISSECTED Five gowns. All handcrafted in the House's Garden City atelier. Sculptural silhouettes are pared back with reverence, fluid, architectural, and quietly extraordinary. The collection is crafted from fluid crepe, Italian satin, embroidered crepe, organza satin, and weightless tulle - fabrics chosen for their tactility, permanence, and quiet ability to hold emotion. At its core lies the House's continued exploration of Al Asabgi embroidery: a traditional Egyptian technique reimagined here as something more intimate, often concealed within the seams, like a secret passed down. HOW TO STYLE IT Nour Fares - The Lotus Ring L'Atelier Nawbar - Flowers Studs in 18K Gold Okhtein - Malleable Clutch in Gold Thuna - Wisal IV Metallic Pink Heel THE LEGACY THREAD Shahira Lasheen is no stranger to generational craftsmanship. The House's very first Ceremony—Al Asabgi—was a tribute to the craftsmen who built its foundation. With Stories in Golden Thread, the tribute turns personal. These pieces are not designed for fashion week. They're designed for the family archive. THE FAMILY CLIENT PROGRAM To accompany the collection, the House introduces something almost unheard of in regional couture: The Family Client Program. Reserved for families whose personal histories are already entwined with the House, clients are granted privileged access: early previews, private appointments, and a window into the House's archives. But the true heart of the program lies in its bespoke nature—custom garments and deeply personal experiences designed to honour family milestones. THE VERDICT In a world of hyper-fast fashion and viral gimmicks, Ceremony N.05 is an outlier. It's couture in its purest form: ritualistic, reverent, and slow. And in Shahira Lasheen's hands, that slowness becomes its own kind of rebellion.

Yehia El-Fakharany to reprise King Lear in new National Theatre production - Stage & Street - Arts & Culture
During Sunday's press conference, veteran actor Yehia El-Fakharany spoke about the upcoming performance of Shakespeare's King Lear, a role he is reprising in a new National Theatre production. The conference was attended by the King Lear cast and crew, including the celebrated star Yehia El-Fakharany; actors Tarek El-Desouky, Hassan Youssef, Mohamed El-Ezayzi, Eman Ragaa, Amal Abdallah, Ahmed El-Nasser, Islam Abbas, Diaa Shafik, Hamdy Attia; and the theatre's director, Ayman El-Shewy. "When I first performed King Lear in 2001, it was difficult because I had to play an old man and physically bend over — my back hurt terribly every day. But now, at 80, I actually am an old man, so I don't need to exert any effort — just to feel the character," El-Fakharany commented with his hallmark sense of humour while unveiling the details of the upcoming production marking his return to the National Theatre stage. El-Fakharany first performed King Lear on the National Theatre stage in 2001. The play featured Egypt's renowned actors, including Sawsan Badr, Salwa Mohamed Ali, Rania Farid Shawky, and Ahmed Fouad Selim, among others. During the conference, El-Fakharany also paid tribute to his late colleagues who had previously taken part in the production: Farouk El-Fishawy (1952–2019) and Ashraf Abdel Ghafour (1942–2023). 'I miss Ashraf Abdel Ghafour deeply. You couldn't find a single flaw in the man — he truly loved the theatre and was incredibly disciplined. I also miss the great actor El-Fishawy. Both Abdel-Ghafour and El-Fishawy left a strong mark on the production," he recalled. He also fondly remembered the late, legendary actress Samiha Ayoub (1932–2025), saying: "When King Lear was first staged, Samiha Ayoub was the director of the National Theatre. She produced the play and fully supported it. I worked with her – she was a remarkable person. True artists don't need to speak about themselves; their work speaks for them. No one can question her body of work. As a theatre director, she was a woman worth a hundred men – firm in her decisions and always followed through." Egypt's National Theatre The actor also highlighted his deep love and emotional connection to the National Theatre. El-Fakharany recalled the 2008 fire that caused considerable damage to the theatre, leading to its closure for renovations until late 2014. 'When the National Theatre burned, I was deeply saddened. I couldn't even go near the area for an entire month — that's how emotionally attached I am to it.' 'The National Theatre has a distinctive scent in its wooden stage — it carries the essence of art itself, having hosted some of the greatest classical productions,' he added. El-Fakharany recalled his early days on stage, sharing that his first performance was in Al-Bahlawan (The Clown), a play by Egyptian playwright Yusuf Idris, which was staged in 1988. He extended his gratitude to the late actor Mahmoud Yassin (1941–2020), one of the icons of the National Theatre, who encouraged him to take the stage at such a prestigious venue. He also thanked theatre director Hoda Wasfi and former culture minister Farouk Hosny for their support during that period. New King Lear Directed by Shady Sorour, the Shakespearean masterpiece now returns to the stage of the National Theatre. During the press conference, the director said: "I am grateful to the National Theatre administration for choosing me to direct this production. It was a long-held dream of mine to stand before the great Yehia El-Fakharany—let alone direct a play starring him. I can't put into words how happy I am to be presenting this work with a star of his caliber." Although King Lear is a role El-Fakharany has performed multiple times, the director affirmed that the actor remained open to new creative directions and did not interfere with his artistic vision for the play. 'From the very first day of rehearsals, he was fully open to embracing the new direction — even though he had already performed the play twice before on stage,' Sorour stated. "What's remarkable is that he always arrives before the scheduled rehearsal time. He has a deep love for the theatre, for the role he's playing, and for art as a whole." King Lear is scheduled to premiere on 8 July, with performances every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
