It’s somehow been 16 years since The Devil Wears Prada hit theaters, and its leading star, Anne Hathaway, shared a few photos from the iconic fashion-forward 2006 film to celebrate.
Sharing a carousel of images to social media, Hathaway wrote, “My favorite outfit as revealed to Michael Kors in Interview Magazine!” referring to her Q + A with the publication last week. She also added, “Happy Anniversary to #TheDevilWearsPrada, with special love to the amazing @patriciafield! She put us in the most incredible, iconic and joyful costumes which somehow keep serving 16 years later. That’s magic.”
In Interview, Kors asked the actress, “Which outfit that you wore in The Devil Wears Prada was more Anne than Andy?”
The WeCrashed actress answered, “It’s a chicken-and-egg question, because what I think of as my style is so influenced by getting to work with Patricia Field and having conversations with her about how to put outfits together. But I love what I wore to the James Hoult party, that velvet Chanel coat that went to the knees, and then the miniskirt and the stockings and the slouched boots. I think it was a sample because I kept finding straight pins in it.”
With a star-studded cast including Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, the blockbuster was adapted from the 2003 Lauren Weisberger novel of the same name. Based on Weisberger’s time as assistant to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Streep stars as Runway Magazine‘s editor-in-chief, Miranda Priestly, and Hathaway as her new assistant Andrea Sachs.
With journalistic aspirations, Andy finds herself questioning her ability to make it in the fashion industry without loosing her sense of self. Showcasing timeless, high-fashion ensembles, the film’s wardrobe maintains a legacy all its own, thanks to costume designer extraordinaire, Field, who also worked on the Sex and the City series and movies and Emily in Paris.
Hathaway also took a moment to bring light to the recent Supreme Court ruling which overturned Roe vs. Wade. She made a point to highlight the autonomy of the career-driven female characters in the film. “Looking back on photos of this beloved film that shaped the lives and careers of so many—mine included—I am struck by the fact that the young female characters in this movie built their lives and careers in a country that honored their right to have choice over their own reproductive health. See you in the fight.”
