‘A Night With Runway’ Gala For ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’

Anne Hathaway was joined by the rest of the cast for A Night With Runway for The Devil Wears Prada 2, a gala celebrating the film’s fashion-world setting, built around the fictional Runway magazine, following the London premiere held at The National Gallery.

Sequins, Sunglasses, And Signature Confidence

Meryl Streep wore a Richard Quinn Fall 2023 coat styled with Emmanuelle Khanh Cherry cat-eye sunglasses. The coat does all the talking here once again, fully encrusted in deep navy sequins with a cocoon-like silhouette that leans into drama without needing anything extra.

The sunglasses only reinforce the message. She is an icon. She is a legend. She is the moment. What a beautiful closing look.

Emily Blunt Meets Emily Charlton

Emily Blunt wore a Dior Spring 2026 Haute Couture structured jacket dress with a flared horsehair peplum, overlaid with five different types of net to create a black tweed-like effect. Styled with Wolford tights and Jimmy Choo Kove platforms, this is Dior Haute Couture at its most intricate.

The fabric story is rich, almost deceptively so, and the playfulness of it all feels like a nod to her character, Emily Charlton.

Archival Versace

Simone Ashley opted for her second archival look of the night, wearing a Versace Spring 2016 mini dress styled with Siixteen Stone by Tiffany jewels, along with Bird on a Rock by Tiffany Wings earrings. This is a confident switch-up from the expected gala gown. Lined from the runway, the olive-green base sits on the neon embellishment that brings a hit of attitude, while the shorter length keeps things very on brand for Ashley, because those incredible legs have to be seen. It feels youthful, a little daring, and exactly the kind of contrast this lineup needed.

I have a feeling that some of you will say that it looks like the ladies were all going to different events, with Anne being the only one who appeared to get the gala memo, but there’s something refreshing about that mix. Each look holds its own point of view, giving the lineup a sense of individuality rather than a uniform dress code.
