The cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2 brightened BBC Radio 2 studios on Thursday morning after a series of glamorous London events. Anne Hathaway, Simone Ashley, Stanley Tucci, and Caleb Hearon, stars of the highly anticipated sequel, participated in an interview with Gary Davies on the Breakfast Show.

Premiere and Gala Success

Despite a demanding schedule including the European premiere in Leicester Square and a gala reception at the National Portrait Gallery, the cast appeared refreshed and ready for promotional activities. Wednesday night’s premiere transformed Leicester Square, followed by a lavish gala at the National Portrait Gallery.

Stylish Appearances

Anne Hathaway, reprising her role as Andy Sachs, showcased a sophisticated grey sweater dress with a brown fur peplum and red heels – a nod to the original film’s signature color. Simone Ashley, as Miranda Priestly’s new assistant Amari, wore a grey sweater and pink mini skirt.

Stanley Tucci, returning as Nigel Kipling, maintained his dapper style in a grey waistcoat and chinos. Caleb Hearon, portraying Charlie, added a pop of color with a bright pink shirt and blue striped tie.

The Sequel's Storyline

The sequel is set two decades after the original, exploring the challenges faced by Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) as the media industry evolves. Emily Blunt joins the cast as Emily, a powerful executive influencing advertising revenue.

A Return to Runway

Andy Sachs is drawn back into the world of Runway magazine to help revitalize the publication, leading the cast on a journey from New York to Milan. The film also features Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, and Lucy Liu.

Positive Early Reactions

Early reviews of The Devil Wears Prada 2 are overwhelmingly positive, with critics praising its wit and style. Alex Weprin of The Hollywood Reporter called it “a biting media parody wrapped up in high fashion,” while Jazz Tangcay of Variety declared it “phenomenal” and “the perfect sequel.”

The official review embargo lifts on April 29th, but initial reactions suggest a strong opening for the film, which is set for release in May.
