Anne Hathaway Revives Andy Sachs in Jean Paul Gaultier Look on ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Set

Andy Sachs is back, and in designer clothes. Anne Hathaway was seen reprising the iconic role on Monday, while filming “The Devil Wears Prada 2” in the streets of New York City. The actress was wearing a vintage pinstriped look by Jean Paul Gaultier Femme.

The costume featured a cutout stripe vest, paired with matching trousers reminiscent of Gaultier’s 1990s collections. The designer, who retired in January 2020, became strongly associated with stripes, especially the classic Breton or sailor stripe (marinière), over the years. His penchant for pinstripes was referenced in the Gaultier Paris Sacai couture fall 2021 collection, which was designed by Sacai creative director Chitose Abe.

Hathaway also carried a vintage Saddle Pouch by Coach, which was first introduced in 1977. Her final look featured a pearl necklace and leather booties, with block heels.

The actress, who first played Andy Sachs in 2006, shared a picture of the Jean Paul Gaultier costume on Instagram. “Andy Sachs 2025,” she captioned the post, adding a mention to the 20th Century Studios, the studio responsible for the new movie. In another post teasing the film, Hathaway is seen wearing a colorful patchwork dress by Gabriela Hearst.

Based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel of the same name, “The Devil Wears Prada” had a profound impact on fashion by solidifying its status as an iconic style reference point for viewers, designers and fashion creatives. The film’s curated wardrobe, styled by Patricia Field, and its depiction of the fashion industry’s allure fueled widespread fascination with high fashion, but also led to resurgences in the popularity of luxury brands such as Prada and Versace.

Hathaway announced she would reprise her role as Andy Sachs in 2024. She is also confirmed to play Mia Thermopolis in a third film of “The Princess Diaries” franchise.

“I was so beautifully cared for on both of those films,” Hathaway told WWD, remembering the roles that marked her career. “I was a baby, like a legal child, when I made ‘Princess Diaries’ — I turned 18 while we were making it, and I was a very, very young woman when I made ‘Devil Wears Prada.’ I was so guided and looked after and cared for by the communities that made both of those films in particular, each of their directors, Garry Marshall and David Frankel. I’m so excited that now I can do that for other people, that now I have the knowledge and the experience and the confidence to take care of other people on sets in which I’m looked at as a leader.”

Set to release in May, “The Devil Wears Prada 2” will also see the return of Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton and Stanley Tucci as Nigel. Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Simone Ashley, Helen J. Shen and Conrad Ricamora are also joining the cast. The director of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is Frankel, who also directed the first film.
