Anne Hathaway Recreates Iconic 'Devil Wears Prada' Look
Reliving Cinematic Style: Hathaway's Iconic Fashion Encore
The Enduring Allure of Andy Sachs' Green Coat
Anne Hathaway, while on the promotional circuit for her new film, made a memorable stop at "The Jimmy Fallon Show." For this appearance, she selected a striking green topcoat, adorned with a leopard trim, which immediately caught the eye of dedicated fans. This distinctive piece was none other than the very coat her character, Andy Sachs, famously wore in the original 2006 film, "The Devil Wears Prada."
A Nostalgic Glimpse: The Coat's On-Screen Debut
Aficionados of "The Devil Wears Prada" vividly recall the coat's first appearance during Andy Sachs' transformative fashion montage. This pivotal scene depicted Andy's stylish evolution as she navigated the demanding world of Runway magazine, with costume designer Patricia Field orchestrating a series of chic outfits set to Madonna's "Vogue." The green coat, paired with oversized sunglasses, elegant white gloves, and delicate pumps, exuded a timeless retro charm. Field herself remarked to EW that she adored the coat for its vibrant color, noting how it made Andy "pop" against the urban backdrop, successfully making a powerful visual statement.
The Return of a Wardrobe Legend
Years after its cinematic debut, Hathaway's decision to revive this iconic garment feels remarkably contemporary. The story behind its return to her wardrobe is equally fascinating: according to her stylist, Erin Walsh, Hathaway personally acquired the coat at an auction. Walsh explained that Hathaway intended this sartorial nod to be a special conclusion to the press tour, a meaningful tribute to the film that has resonated with so many.
A Press Tour Filled with Fashion Homages
This isn't the first instance of fashion callbacks during the "Devil Wears Prada 2" promotional journey. Both Hathaway and Meryl Streep have been spotted in cerulean sweaters, a clear homage to Andy's memorable outfit and the now-famous "cerulean" line from the original movie. The tour has also showcased numerous red ensembles, symbolizing the film's title, and a plethora of Prada designs. However, Anne Hathaway's choice to don an actual costume piece from the 2006 film undoubtedly serves as a perfect, high-fashion finale to an already stylish press tour.
