An overwhelmed Anne Hathaway couldn’t hide her tears at The Devil Wears Prada 2 event in Shanghai. The actress, along with Meryl Streep, attended a grand fan event in Shanghai on Friday, April 10. Hathaway was seen walking up a red carpet set up, which looked inspired by the annual MET Gala. In a video shared online, the actress donned a gorgeous gown and greeted fans. As she walked up the stairs, she looked emotional and even teary-eyed.
She admitted she was moved by the love she received at the fan event and couldn’t hold back her emotions. “I am overwhelmed. I wasn’t expecting to feel emotional but there are so many of you. Thank you for all of this,” she said.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 reunites the original cast — Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tuccu, with director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna. The film also introduces a new lineup of characters played by Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B. J. Novak, and Conrad Ricamora. Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman also reprise their roles as Lily and Irv from the original film.
The final trailer of the film, which was released earlier this week, opens with Andy telling Simone that she once held the very job Simone has now. Andy reflects on her journey, from going to Paris and working under Miranda to eventually walking away to pursue a career in journalism. Simone, now Miranda’s new assistant (read: the new Emily), is visibly stunned to learn that Andy gave up Chanel!
The trailer then cuts to a series of montages, before Miranda, played by Meryl Streep, tells Andy that she needs her help navigating a current scandal. Miranda remains the same icy, stiletto-clicking force, unwavering in her pursuit of control. We also catch glimpses of Miranda’s former assistant Emily Charlton, who delivers a striking line: “May the bridges I burn light my way.” Once loyal to Miranda, she has now turned into her rival.
Based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel, The Devil Wears Prada was a box-office hit and earned two Oscar nominations. The Devil Wears Prada 2 arrives in theatres on May 1.
