Stepping back into her iconic role, Anne Hathaway’s (and frankly, Miranda Priestly’s) influence is clear as she unveils a masterclass in monochrome on the streets of New York.
There’s a special kind of style evolution that happens when a star returns to an iconic role. The person may be the same, but the fashion speaks volumes about where they—and the culture—have been. And as Anne Hathaway was spotted on the set of “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” it’s clear Andrea Sachs’s evolution is complete. Trading the high-strung, frantic looks of her original tenure at Runway, Hathaway’s latest on-set style is a pure distillation of confident, effortless chic.
The look is an all-white triumph. An oversized, slightly undone button-down shirt is worn over a simple white top, paired with relaxed, flowing trousers of a similar shade. The silhouette is a far cry from the sharp, structured pieces of the past—it’s fluid, confident, and breathes with a quiet luxury that doesn’t need to shout. The shoes, a pair of simple black sandals, ground the look with a practical, no-fuss elegance.
But the details are what truly tell the story. The pair of sunglasses, the sleek silver water bottle, and especially the paper bag that reads “SO MANY BOOKS” are all subtle nods to her character’s intellect and modern sensibility. This is the look of a woman who has found her stride, who no longer needs to try so hard. From her breakout red carpet moments to her latest film roles, Anne Hathaway’s sartorial journey is a testament to her style evolution.
