The Devil Wears Prada 2 Cast Takes London: Styling Aquazzura Tequila Sandals, Louboutin So Kates, and Stella McCartney Elsa Heels

The cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2 has been keeping busy lately. Just days after lighting up the red carpet in New York, they jetted off to London for the film’s European premiere at Leicester Square on April 22, 2026, bringing the fashion energy with them.

The outfits didn’t disappoint. Anne Hathaway turned heads in a daring Versace dress with minimalist heels, while Meryl Streep kept things sharp in custom head-to-toe Prada.

Emily Blunt went sleek in Balenciaga this time, and Simone Ashley brought her own edge in Thierry Mugler paired with classic Louboutins. Each look was different, but still very much in line with the film’s fashion-forward vibe.

The guest list also didn’t disappoint. Nicky Hilton and Bar Refaeli were among those who stood out, both stepping out in striking dresses and statement heels that held their own alongside the main cast.

Let’s take a closer look at the standout outfit choices from the night.

Anne Hathaway Brings Velvet Drama in Versace and Sleek Patent Platform Sandals

Anne Hathaway never misses on the red carpet, and this look was no exception. I actually loved how she kept her heels simple here, which made everything else stand out more.

She wore black patent-leather sandals with a glossy, polished finish, adding just the right amount of shine. The design was pretty minimal, with a strap across her red-pedicured toes and a slim ankle strap, but the height came from the platforms and tall stiletto heels. Nothing too elaborate, but they balanced out her statement gown perfectly!

Her dress was a custom-made midnight-blue velvet piece by Versace, and honestly, it was worth the wait. Many had been anticipating this, given her long-standing connection to the brand, so seeing her finally step out in Versace as this felt like a big deal.

The gown had a structured, tux-inspired corset bodice with a black silk collar and crystal buttons running down the front. It mixed that tailored feel with something more feminine, especially with the crystal-detailed strapless neckline and sheer side panels that showed a bit of her midriff.

The skirt then flowed into a sleek velvet silhouette with a sweeping train at the back and a high front slit that gave it that extra daring edge.

Hathaway kept her accessories minimal with Bulgari Serpenti earrings and a ring. Her hair was pulled back into a clean ponytail, letting the dress do all the talking.

Meryl Streep Channels Miranda Priestley Power in Prada Red Raso Silk Pumps

Meryl Streep finally stepped out in Prada, and while this look was more pared-back than her previous red-carpet moment, I still liked how strong and commanding she looked.

For footwear, she wore a pair of Prada Raso silk pumps, which looked effortlessly elegant. Raso silk is known for its smooth, satin-like finish, and you could really see that here.

The pumps had pointed toes and around 3.3-inch stiletto heels, which kept the silhouette classic and feminine. I especially liked the clean, elongated line from the sharp toe to the slim heel, which made the shoes look extra refined. The subtle sheen added a polished touch, and I thought they stood out nicely against the rest of her outfit.

Streep paired them with a red satin Prada car coat, slightly oversized and voluminous, that fell to her knees. Underneath, she kept things simple with a white silk blouse featuring a soft scarf neck detail, finished with a crystal brooch.

The black trousers balanced everything out and let the red tones of her shoes and coat stand out even more.

Meryl added her signature commanding attitude with black cat-eye sunglasses, a Fred Leighton ring, and diamond drop earrings. And of course, let’s not forget that Judith Leiber “Runway” clutch, which was a fun nod to Miranda Priestley’s magazine.

Emily Blunt Goes Sculptural in All-Red Balenciaga and Duchesse Glove Pumps

Emily Blunt, who wowed in a more whimsical Schiaparelli look at the New York premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2, switched things up this time and went sleek in head-to-toe red Balenciaga. I liked how this shift was bold, clean, and in line with the film’s signature red palette.

Blunt wore the brand’s “Duchesse” pumps, a style we’ve seen on the likes of Jessie Buckley and Lily Collins. They’re easily recognizable because of that deep V-cut vamp, which instantly gives the shoe a sharper, more structured look.

Emily’s bright red version blended seamlessly with her outfit. The squared pointed toes added a modern edge, and the slightly curved heels gave the design a subtle twist, making them look more fashion-forward.

Her outfit was a custom red Balenciaga piece that played with structure. The top had a fitted bodice with a sculptural convex neckline and a slight flare at the hips, which then extended into a dramatic train at the back.

What made it even more interesting for me was how it combined a gown with slim-fit trousers underneath, creating a mix of classic and tailored elements in one look.

She finished everything off with Mikimoto pearls, including a floral-inspired Classic White South Sea Cultured Pearl and Diamond necklace and a matching ring, adding a soft, elegant contrast to the bold red look.

Simone Ashley Makes Pink Feel Powerful in Louboutin “So Kate” Pumps and Vintage Mugler

Simone Ashley switched things up from her castmates and went all-in on pink, and I honestly loved how bold it looked on her. She wore the Christian Louboutin “So Kate” pumps in a striking shade of pink, which tied the whole look together so seamlessly.

The pumps had that signature low-cut vamp, sharp pointed toes, and tall stiletto heels that instantly gave off that sleek, classic vibe. They were simple, but in a color like this, they really stood out and added that extra edge.

The pumps went really well with Simone’s vintage Thierry Mugler gown from the Resort 1984 collection, sourced from Era London.

The dress came in a hot-pink silk and taffeta blend with a slightly crinkled texture, making it look more eye-catching and interesting.

What really stood out was the silhouette. It had a one-shoulder, asymmetrical bodice with a bow tied on one side, which added a soft, feminine touch. A matching belt cinched the waist, then the skirt flared out at the hips before tapering down toward her ankles.

I also loved how the color looked on Simone; it really complemented her skin tone. And though it’s a vintage piece, it still looked fresh. She finished her ensemble with Tasaki Spirea platinum-and-diamond earrings and a ring, adding just the right amount of sparkle.

Nicky Hilton Adds Crystal Sparkle in Aquazzura “Tequila” Sandals and Roberto Cavalli

Nicky Hilton may have arrived as a guest, but she definitely made an impression the moment she stepped onto the carpet.

She wore the Aquazzura “Tequila” sandals, and they added the perfect amount of sparkle to her look. The design featured a caged front made of slim straps, all lined with tonal black crystals that shimmered with every step. The ankle strap carried the same crystal detail, tying everything together nicely.

Set on slim 4-inch stiletto heels, the sandals were delicate but still elevated, adding just enough glamour without overpowering the rest of her look. You can get these Aquazzura sandals for $1,918 at Farfetch.

Nicky paired them with an airy Roberto Cavalli gown that leaned into that boho vibe. The dress had a cutout bodice gathered at the center, with a rounded, embellished detail that drew attention to her waist and midriff.

The plunging neckline added a bit of edge, while the billowing sleeves and flowing skirt brought in softness. I really liked how the fabric moved as she walked, giving the whole look a light, effortless feel despite its dramatic appearance.

Hilton finished everything off with Theo Grace jewelry, including a pendant necklace that tied in perfectly with the overall boho glamour.

Bar Refaeli Keeps It Fluid in White with Sculpted Stella McCartney “Elsa” Sandals

Bar Refaeli went for a laid-back but still chic look, choosing an all-white outfit that felt light and effortless.

On her feet, she wore the Stella McCartney “Elsa” sandals, handcrafted in Italy from recycled viscose and finished with a glossy sheen for a sleek, polished look.

The sandals had a triple-strap design with gold-tone buckle details, which added just a bit of shine. I also liked the open square toe, which gave the shoes a more modern, architectural design.

The sculpted 4-inch heels stood out to me, too. They had this curved shape that made them look more fashion-forward while still being wearable. You can get these sandals for $990 at Farfetch.

Refaeli paired them with a white column gown that moved so beautifully as she walked. The dress had a relaxed, shapeless silhouette, but it didn’t look boring at all. It had a deep V neckline that added a bit of edge, while the soft draping made everything look fluid and effortless. It looked weightless the way it flowed along the carpet!

Bar Refaeli kept things minimal with diamond studs and a ring, which worked perfectly with the overall vibe.
