Fans of the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada have long hoped for a sequel, and now Anne Hathaway, who famously portrayed Andy Sachs, is back to bring the story forward. Hathaway was recently spotted filming scenes in New York City, signaling that production on the follow-up is officially underway. The actress has also shared a brief TikTok video hinting at her return to the character, drawing immediate attention to the highly anticipated project.
The Iconic Cerulean Sweater Makes a Return
In her TikTok clip, Hathaway dons a cerulean blue sweater that instantly evokes memories of her character Andy Sachs’s most memorable fashion moment. The short video shows her brushing her teeth while wearing the sweater, accompanied by the caption “Heading to werk” and a hashtag referencing the sequel. This subtle nod to the original film’s iconic wardrobe choice has fans buzzing with excitement and speculation.
Miranda Priestly’s Fashion Lessons Remain Relevant
The cerulean sweater scene was a standout moment in the original film, where Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, harshly critiques Andy’s seemingly plain garment. Priestly informs Andy,
“You go to your closet and you select that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back,”
and then continues,
“But what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue. It’s not turquoise. It’s not lapis. It’s actually cerulean.”
The character, the editor of the fictional fashion magazine Runway, goes on to explain,
“blithely unaware of the fact that, in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns,”
followed by Saint Laurent’s introduction of cerulean military jackets, underscoring the intricate knowledge expected of those working in fashion.
Workplace Intensity and Andy Sachs’s Growth
The original film does not shy away from showing the harsh realities of workplace pressure, as Miranda’s sharp criticism reveals how challenging some environments can be. Andy’s initial ignorance about fashion underscores her outsider status in the industry. However, it appears she has not totally abandoned the cerulean sweater, which could add a humorous and meaningful touch to the sequel’s story.
What to Expect From the Sequel
With Anne Hathaway stepping back into her role and the return of familiar symbols like the cerulean sweater, this sequel has the potential to explore both the glamor and tension of the fashion world once again. Filming in New York City places the production right at the heart of this vibrant industry, and Hathaway’s social media hints continue to build anticipation. Fans of the original can likely expect a blend of sharp wit and workplace drama as the story develops.
