Anne Hathaway & Anna Wintour Recreated This 'Devil Wears Prada' Moment
Table of Content
Anne Jacqueline "Annie" Hathaway was born on November 12, 1982, in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Her father, Gerald, is a labor attorney, and her mother, Kate (née McCauley), is a former actress. Hathaway's maternal grandfather was WIP Philadelphia radio personality Joe McCauley. Her mother is of Irish descent, and her father has Irish, French, English, and German ancestry. She is the second of three children, following brother Michael and preceding brother Thomas. When she was six, her family moved to the Short Hills area of Millburn, New Jersey, where she was raised.
While the comedy is now considered one of Hathaway’s biggest hits, director David Frankel revealed last year upon the film’s 15th anniversary that she was far from the first choice to play the lead. The two were photographed side-by-side next to Serena Williams at Kors’ Spring/Summer 2023 show in New York City. Wintour paired her signature sunglasses and bob with a black-and-white floral printed dress. " definitely paved the way for the filmmakers and distributors of the world to know that there was a female audience that was really strong out there", Gabler recalls, one that was not segmented by age. "Prada reminds me of movies that we don't have a lot of now—it harkens back to classic movies that had so much more than just one kind of plot line ... You just keep wanting to find something that can touch upon the same zeitgeist as this film."

Although Andy waves, Miranda does not acknowledge her but smiles to herself once she is seated in the car. When sitting next to Anna Wintour at New York Fashion Week after playing her assistant in one of the most iconic fashion movies, it’s only fitting to dress the part. She even wore a high ponytail with blunt bangs and a nude lip to curate a similar look to the last outfit in the iconic fashion movie, which fans quickly pointed out. In the beloved film adaptation of Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling novel, Hathaway’s Sachs joins the staff of a top fashion glossy as an assistant to its icy editor-in-chief, Priestly . After a rocky start, Sachs gets a high-style makeover and impresses her boss before eventually moving on from the mag. What’s more, Hathaway’s look for the show — a brown croc-embossed leather coat layered over a black turtleneck dress — was nearly identical to the one her character, Andy Sachs, sports in the 2006 flick’s ending scene.
She has won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild and a BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actress for Les Misérables. She has also won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for her voice role in a 2010 episode of The Simpsons. In November 2018, Hathaway was one of 50 nominees for the New Jersey Hall of Fame, an organization that honors contributions to society and the world beyond. In May 2019, Hathaway received a motion pictures star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to the film industry.

S pages and Andy's cerulean blue sweater, criticizing Andy's snobbishness about fashion and explaining the trickle-down effect, had its origins in a scene cut from earlier drafts that Streep had asked to have restored. Work on a screenplay started promptly, before Weisberger had even finished her work. When it became a bestseller upon publication, elements of the plot were incorporated into the screenplay in progress. Most took their inspiration from the 2001 Ben Stiller film Zoolander and primarily satirized the fashion industry. Elizabeth Gabler, later head of production at Fox, noted that the finished novel did not have a complete narrative. "Since there wasn't a strong third act in the book," she said later, "we needed to invent that."
After six "nightmarish" weeks of shooting, he had an editor cut a "sizzle reel" of highlights. That convinced the studio to increase the budget to allow for limited shooting overseas. Streep did not go as Fox believed it would be too expensive; green screen shots and her body double were used instead. Only Valentino Garavani, who designed the black evening gown Miranda wears during the museum benefit scene, chose to make an appearance. Coincidentally, he was in New York City during production and Finerman dared Field, an acquaintance, to ask him personally.

However, the film did not enter wide release and failed at the North American box office, totaling less than $4 million in ticket sales. The fantasy romantic comedy film Ella Enchanted , in which Hathaway played the titular character, also performed poorly at the box office. She had first read the book on which the film is based when she was 16, and stated that the script was originally much closer to the book but did not work as a film, and therefore prefers the film the way it became. Hathaway sang three songs on the film's soundtrack, including a duet with singer Jesse McCartney.
Hathaway and Blunt also drew favorable reviews and nominations for their performances. The film grossed over $326 million worldwide, against its $41 million budget, and was the 12th highest-grossing film worldwide in 2006. Wintour was, as always, dressed in her signature look -- a pair of dark sunglasses skewing her eyes and her quintessential blonde bob -- but Hathaway's outfit looked equally familiar. Wearing a black knitted turtleneck, a chestnut brown leather coat and her hair in a high ponytail styled with a blunt fringe, Hathaway was a facsimile of her on-screen character Andrea Sachs from the 2006 film "The Devil Wears Prada."

"He mocks her for her new interest in fashion, he trivializes the magazine she works at, and dismisses her hard work", Entertainment Weekly wrote in 2017, collecting some tweets and other posts from social media critical of the character. Many, like the writer of that piece, found it particularly upsetting that he berated Andy for missing his birthday party even though she had a good work-related reason for her absence. Even ten years later, people still quote her lines from the film back to her at least once a week, she says.
The Devil Wears Prada follows Andrea as the shy assistant to editor-in-chief of prestigious fashion magazine, Runway. Anne Hathaway wore a black turtleneck with a brown crocodile skirt and matching jacket during New York Fashion Week on Wednesday. What's more, Hathaway 39, eerily resembled her movie character, with the same haircut and a brown ensemble similar to the one she wore in the film.
