Anne Hathaway’s favourite outfit from The Devil Wears Prada 2 was cut from the film.
Despite the 43-year-old actress’ enthusiasm for the look during production, she has revealed it did not make the final version of the movie.
The new film, set 20 years after the original, sees her reprise the role of Andy Sachs in the sequel directed by David Frankel, returning alongside Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly.
Andy is reintroduced as an award-winning investigative journalist in New York before being drawn back into the orbit of Runway magazine, run by Miranda.
Speaking at the European premiere of the film, Anne discussed the evolution of both her character and her own perspective on the role, as well as the creative decisions behind the film’s fashion.
Reflecting on one specific costume, Anne said: “I don’t know, it was a garment, more than anything else.”
“But I loved it so much,” she added.
But the actress explained the piece, which was a Phoebe Philo design, did not make the final edit.
She said, “And then I said that it was my favourite outfit in the film, and (director) David called me – I hadn’t seen the film yet – and he’s like, ‘It’s gone’.”
“And I was like, ‘Well, maybe it was good that the paparazzi were there (on set to photograph it.)’” Anne recalled.
The look, photographed during filming in New York in July 2025, featured a white T-shirt with a flowing train, paired with cropped trousers and accessories that reflected the film’s continued emphasis on high fashion – a hallmark of the original film, which became synonymous with its costume design under Patricia Field.
Patricia previously told Entertainment Weekly, “For me, the success of the clothing is not only that it looks good, but it has to tell the story.”
