Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs in 20th Century Studios' 'The Devil Wears Prada 2.' Macall Polay/© 2026 20th Century Studios A lot has changed in fashion, media, and culture since The Devil Wears Prada was released two decades ago. But as Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep revive their characters for the upcoming sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, they’re realizing some things have unfortunately stayed the same. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Streep revealed that Hathaway confronted producers about casting “skeletal” models in the film.
Streep recalled being “struck by how not only beautiful and young — everyone seems young to me — but alarmingly thin the models were,” noting, “I thought that all had been addressed years ago.” Hathaway, she continued, noticed, too. “She made a beeline to the producers about it, securing promises that the models in the show that we were putting together for our film would not be so skeletal,” Streep said. “She’s a stand-up girl.”
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set for release on May 1. Streep, Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are all reprising their roles in the sequel, which was filming all over New York this past summer.
