Anne Hathaway—or perhaps we should say Andrea Sachs—could not have chosen a better outfit to announce her return to the screen in the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. Was it a little black sheath dress by Chanel? A tailored suit created by Dolce&Gabbana? A long dress by Oscar de la Renta? None of the above.
Instead, Hathaway searched the back of her closet for a notorious garment: the first film’s famous “lumpy blue sweater,” which, in the words of Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestley, is “actually cerulean … fished out of some clearance bin.” Hathaway donned the sweater to announce the start of filming for The Devil Wears Prada 2 in a brief TikTok that evokes the opening scenes of the film—where Andrea wakes up before dawn and, still sleepy, runs to the office, putting on the first thing she finds because has been called in by the dreaded Runway editor.

According to on-set photos, it seems Andy’s style has evolved since the original film. The very first outfit captured by photographers has a decidedly casual feel: a long, on-trend denim skirt with a light wash and frayed hem, matched with a basic white top and, for a glam touch, a black vest coordinated with her Chanel signature wedge sandals. It’s completed by a pair of Khartoum sunglasses by the brand L.G.R, and a newspaper Andy clutches in her hands. But where is Runway?
We find the magazine’s logo in another picture. It’s written in large letters on a garment bag hanging from the handle of a suitcase, secured with a belt (not cerulean!). We don’t know where Andy might be going. But for now, we can enjoy her second look, a multicolored over-cut dress by Gabriela Hearst, complete with a cream hat with purple piping that echoes the dress and the same sunglasses as in the previous look.
Andy looks effortlessly chic in a blue zip-up jumpsuit with ankle lapels, which she wears with carefully selected accessories. She holds a new Valentino Garavani Panthea bag in black nappa leather with a chevron pattern and feline head details, and once again wears her Chanel sandals. Just as Stanley Tucci’s Nigel would have wanted.
Perhaps her most officecore look so far is a pinstripe suit with matching vest by Karl Lagerfeld, complete with black boots and a pearl necklace. Will these outfits satisfy Miranda Priestley be satisfied, at least for now? We’ll have to wait until the film is released in May to find out.
