Anne Hathaway‘s recent confrontation with paparazzi on the “The Devil Wears Prada 2” set has drawn significant attention. This long-anticipated sequel, filming at various iconic New York City locations since July, has fans eagerly awaiting more fashion-forward moments. However, the intense media presence recently led Hathaway to address the crowd directly, prioritizing the safety and comfort of child actors on set.
A Protective Stance
Hathaway, spotted in a clip shared by People magazine, took a firm but measured approach when faced with the overwhelming number of paparazzi. “You guys have got to relax,” she asserted. “There are children on set today. Does everyone know that there are children on set? So everyone is going to relax, and we’re going to have a very nice day because we have children here. Thank you.” Her words underscore a concern for the well-being of younger cast members.
Revisiting Iconic Roles
Returning as Andy Sachs, Hathaway reprises her role alongside Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. While plot specifics remain under wraps, fans know Andy’s journey as an ambitious journalist and personal assistant to Miranda Priestly will continue. The film also sees the return of Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman, with David Frankel directing and Aline Brosh McKenna penning the script once more.
New Faces in Fashion
This sequel introduces an exciting lineup of new actors, including Kenneth Branagh as Miranda Priestly’s husband. Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet also join the cast in undisclosed roles. The storyline explores Miranda’s challenges amid the evolving magazine industry, clashing with Emily Blunt’s character, now a high-powered executive.
“The Devil Wears Prada 2” is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, from 20th Century Studios and Disney. As anticipation builds, Hathaway’s protective moment serves as a reminder of the care and professionalism that extends beyond the screen.
