Anne Hathaway Wore Louis Vuitton To ‘A Night With Runway’ Gala For ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’

A Night With Runway for The Devil Wears Prada 2 was a themed event celebrating the film’s fashion-world setting, built around the fictional Runway magazine, following the London premiere held at The National Gallery.

The event was billed as a gala, and Anne Hathaway brought the gala energy in a custom Louis Vuitton grey-and-black silk-satin bustier column gown with a voluminous overskirt.

I love what this gown represents: a clear nod to classic couture dressing, where drama is delivered through silhouette and fabrication. That said, my overall feeling is that it leans a little old-fashioned. I’m hoping this is a purposeful ode to Old Hollywood glamour – think Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and perhaps a touch of Rita Hayworth. If that was the brief, she and Louis Vuitton delivered.

This look relies heavily on that reference point or context, but as many of you often say to me, a story shouldn’t have to sell a look. I also found myself wishing for stronger structure through the bodice, skirt and overskirt to sharpen the overall finish.

A Bvlgari High Jewelry, including the Serpenti necklace, completed her look.
