Exclusive: Emily Blunt Says She and Stanley Tucci Like to Drink Tequila Before Hitting the Met Gala Carpet

The Oscar nominee and I speak during the frenzied 15-minute window before her appointment with Lord Gavin McLeod-Valentine, a celebrity facialist with clients ranging from Kim Kardashian to Jonathan Bailey. Her eventual slicked-back bun and smoky eye makeup came courtesy of Blunt’s longtime glam team, including hairstylist Laini Reeves and makeup artist Jenn Streicher. “I’ll come with a bunch of ideas; they’ll send me images. It’s very low-stress with them. We just know each other,” Blunt says. “Jenn could paint my face with her eyes closed at this point, and it’s the same with Laini. Recently, I’ve been wanting to do a much cleaner space of makeup, but I don’t really want to do that tonight,” she adds. “We’ve got to push the boundaries of what I’m usually comfortable with. Obviously, it looks nothing like me on the school run, clearly.” Emily Blunt poses before Met Gala 2026Jenna Jones As with her glam team, Blunt has worked with her stylist, Jessica Pastor, for 20 years, and she helped the actor reverse engineer her look around …

In Praise of Chick Lit: The Genre’s All-Stars Talk to Vanity Fair

In Praise of Chick Lit: The Genre’s All-Stars Talk to Vanity Fair

Published by Sam Flores

“It was kind of a bummer to see more ‘literary’ female authors sort of joining in the condescension,” says Weiner, the scare quotes around “literary” almost audible. She likens the women who railed against chick lit to the female apparatchiks—apparatchicks?—in the Trump administration. “The closer you are to power, which is white men, it’s like you align yourself with the voices that are pointing at someone else. And by extension, you are not that thing. But the thing about that kind of power, I guess, is you only have it until the people who are giving it to you decide to take it away.” And eventually, like all trends, chick lit did fade away. Perhaps it’s because publishing is characterized by boom-and-bust cycles. Perhaps, as Weiner points out, the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recession dimmed the public’s appetite for frothy stories about the pursuit of Birkin bags. Perhaps crossover YA hits like Twilight and The Hunger Games ate into the genre’s core demo. The final nail in the coffin may have been Gillian Flynn’s …

Meet Patrick Brammall, the Unproblematic Heartthrob of The Devil Wears Prada 2

Meet Patrick Brammall, the Unproblematic Heartthrob of The Devil Wears Prada 2

“Once Meryl leaves, the party’s over, really,” Patrick Brammall tells me the morning after the starry world premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 in New York City. We’re seated at a corner table in the bar at the Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown, where the Los Angeles–based Brammall is promoting the highly anticipated sequel. Brammall recalls what it was like watching himself play Peter, the love interest of Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada 2, on the big screen before the film’s opening on May 1. “I didn’t suck,” he exhales. “That’s the main thing, just dodging the humiliation of not being good.” His character is a divorced contractor who meets Andy on her search for a new apartment. Originally written as a guy from Brooklyn, Peter was made Australian when Brammall was cast. “That’s why I was relieved to see it last night,” he says. “I feel like I belong in the movie…. The function of that character is to be a supportive guy for Andy Sachs. It’s a …

Anne Hathaway Leads a Red Carpet Double Life

Anne Hathaway Leads a Red Carpet Double Life

Published by Sam Flores

Anne Hathaway is experiencing a promotional season that would be far too busy for an ordinary mortal. On one side is the The Devil Wears Prada 2 world tour, and on the other is the premiere of Mother Mary. Two films, two aesthetic universes, and most importantly, two wardrobes that have clearly never spoken to each other. For her return to the runway ecosystem, Hathaway is playing the absolute glamour card: sculpted dresses, solid colors, textbook fashion silhouettes. In short, everything you would expect from someone who is officially returning to the Miranda Priestly orbit. Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt. Mike Coppola/Getty Images But then comes Mother Mary, and the mood changes as if someone had dimmed the lights in the theater without warning. Here Hathaway plays a pop star in crisis, busy mending her relationship with her former costume designer and best friend, played by Michaela Coel, on the eve of a comeback that doesn’t exactly promise levity. The film is described as a psychological melodrama with almost supernatural overtones, …

Sydney Sweeney’s The Devil Wears Prada 2 ‘cameo’ said to have been cut from film

Published by Sam Flores

Sydney Sweeney is said to have been cut from the final version of The Devil Wears Prada 2. The actress, 28, filmed a cameo for the follow-up to the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, but her scene was removed due to what has been described as a creative decision, according to a report by Entertainment Weekly. The sequel, scheduled for release on 1 May, sees the return of Anne Hathaway as Andrea Sachs and Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestley, the editor-in-chief of the fictional Runway magazine – a character said to have been inspired by former Vogue editor Anna Wintour. Sydney’s involvement had been confirmed after she was seen arriving on set in August 2025, with her role described as a brief appearance playing herself. According to Entertainment Weekly, Sydney’s scene was positioned near the beginning of the film but was removed because “it didn’t work structurally”. The outlet reported “the team working on the movie was grateful for her participation, making the decision to remove the bit a difficult one”. Sydney’s apparent cameo …

Winnie HarlowTaylor Hill/WireImage Outside on the red carpet, the stars of the film were just arriving. Hathaway proved why People chose her for the cover of its World’s Most Beautiful issue, wearing a Louis Vuitton dress in a color of red that would make the devil himself envious. (Talk about method dressing.) Streep took a page from the same playbook, pairing her red Givenchy by Sarah Burton fall-winter 2026 dress with black gloves. Tucci, who reprises his role as Miranda’s right-hand man Nigel Kipling, opted for Giorgio Armani, while his real life sister-in-law Blunt, who plays the oft maligned first assistant Emily Charlton, looked gorgeous in Schiaparelli spring 2026 couture.

The Devil Wears Prada Takes the Oscars 2026

The Devil Wears Prada Takes the Oscars 2026

Published by Sam Flores

For a moment at the Oscars 2026, the fashion world folded neatly back into Hollywood fiction. Anna Wintour took the stage with Anne Hathaway, channeling Meryl Streep channeling Anna Wintour in The Devil Wears Prada—the film that immortalized the Vogue editor as the icy inspiration for Miranda Priestly. It’s been 20 years since Wintour attended the film’s premiere in Prada, with the editor telling The New Yorker’s David Remnick last year that she had no idea what to expect but ultimately found the film to be both funny and a “fair shot.” Two decades on, the cultural footprint of The Devil Wears Prada has only grown, and its quotable moments—from “gird your loins!” to “that’s all”—have entered into the mainstream vocabulary. Wintour, who has spent those same years presiding over Vogue with undiminished authority, has embraced the association, occasionally even playing into its mythology with a glimmer of amusement. But the world surrounding the sequel looks very different from the one that greeted the original film in 2006. Social media has turned the production itself …

For some special occasions, one prepares in advance. Shoes, dress, accessories: all are chosen with the strictest attention so that you shine, whatever the setting. And it may be that someone, impatient, has already decided on the outfit that they’ll show off when they finally get to see The Devil Wears Prada 2. And for those who, on the other hand, still don’t have a clear idea? There’s still time before the film, the long-awaited sequel to 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada, hits theaters on May 1, but in the meantime, perhaps they could take the advice of the one and only Andy Sachs, Anne Hathaway herself. In a recent interview with Vogue, Hathaway encouraged fans to put their best sartorial foot forward when they head to the theater for the hotly anticipated sequel.
