The 9 Best Shoes at The Devil Wears Prada 2 Premiere: Anne Hathaway’s LV Platforms, Emily Blunt’s Schiaparelli, and More!

Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt led the dazzling, star-studded premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 at Lincoln Center in New York City, transforming the red carpet into a full-blown fashion show.

Staying true to the film’s signature style, Streep and Hathaway both went all-in on bold red looks that perfectly matched the movie’s signature palette. Streep kept things sharp and polished with pointed black Stuart Weitzman boots, while Hathaway went full glam in custom Louis Vuitton heels.

Blunt, on the other hand, took a different approach but still turned heads, wearing a whimsical Schiaparelli outfit with the brand’s Measuring Tape heels.

The highly anticipated sequel, set to be released in theaters on May 1, drew an equally fashionable guest list, with A-listers like Lady Gaga, Ciara, and Heidi Klum arriving in standout ensembles that paid homage to the film’s fashion-forward spirit.

From couture gowns to statement footwear, The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere delivered a red-carpet moment worthy of its stylish reputation, setting the bar for one of the year’s most talked-about red carpets.

Here’s a closer look at who truly stole the spotlight.

Anne Hathaway Turns the Red Carpet Crimson in Louis Vuitton Platform Sandals

Anne Hathaway went all-in on red, and I have to say, it suits her so well. She wore custom Louis Vuitton sandals in glossy red satin, and while the design was simple, it still made a strong statement. The shoes featured a thick strap across her red-pedicured toes and a slim ankle strap with a delicate buckle.

Those chunky platforms and bold block heels easily added around five inches, giving her that extra lift without losing elegance.

What really made the look work for me was how perfectly the sandals paired with her gown. Her custom Louis Vuitton dress, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, was made of rich red silk with a structured bustier bodice. The sculptural cups and pointed horn-like ends added edge, while the skirt opened into a dramatic, voluminous shape with soft pleats. The tea-length cut was such a smart choice, since it effortlessly showed off those heels.

Hathaway finished the look with Bulgari high jewelry, including statement earrings, a Serpenti bracelet, and a bold ring. Her hair was styled in soft waves, cascading over one shoulder, paired with warm eye makeup and a soft red lip.

Meryl Streep Channels Miranda Priestly in Sleek Stuart Weitzman Boots

Meryl Streep stepped out in Stuart Weitzman’s Power Bootie in black leather, and I immediately loved how sleek and sharp they looked. The pointed toes and slim stiletto heels gave the whole outfit a strong, polished finish.

They were simple, yes, but that’s exactly why they worked well against Meryl’s bold outfit. The boots added structure and just enough edge, peeking out beneath her dramatic cape.

What made them even better was the craftsmanship behind them. They were made by Stuart Weitzman artisans in Spain, with slightly angled heels for added stability, while the shock-absorbing foam insole added comfort and flexibility without compromising that sleek, refined look.

Streep fully embraced her Miranda Priestly energy, pairing the boots with a bright red cape-style dress by Givenchy, designed by Sarah Burton. The piece came in rich scarlet leather, but it still moved easily and didn’t feel as heavy as it looked. I especially liked the matching necktie detail, which added more structure and a bit of sharpness to the outfit.

She completed the look with black leather opera gloves, which made everything feel even more elevated and commanding. And for that subtle Anna Wintour moment, she hid behind oversized sunglasses, adding that signature editor-in-chief edge. For a touch of shine, she accessorized with sparkling earrings.

Emily Blunt Softens the Premiere in Schiaparelli’s Measuring Tape Heels

Emily Blunt took a softer route than her co-stars, stepping out in a textured beige gown and matching nude heels, both by Schiaparelli.

Most of the attention went straight to the dress, but I have to say, her shoes didn’t go unnoticed. She wore the brand’s iconic “Measuring Tape” heels in nude leather, priced at $2,100, barely visible under all that volume.

The sandals featured a strap across the toes and an ankle strap, both decorated with a gold ribbon meter design, a signature Schiaparelli touch. Set on slim 4-inch stiletto heels, they gave her height and helped the gown fall so beautifully.

Blunt’s Schiaparelli dress was all about layers and texture. Made from soft tulle in an asymmetrical cut, it created this dramatic, cascading effect that added so much volume. I really liked how the layers were visible, giving the skirt depth and movement from every angle.

Up top, the bodice was just as detailed. It looked as if it were covered in delicate petals, made from thousands of silk-thread feathers. The sculptural cups added structure, though I found the circular detail at the neckline a bit unexpected. Still, it added a unique twist.

It reportedly took around 4,000 hours to complete the gown, which makes sense when you see the level of detail up close.

Blunt kept her hair in a sleek bun, letting her dress shine. To finish, she wore stunning Mikimoto pieces, including the $67,000 Les Pétales Place Vendôme Roses Akoya cultured pearl-and-diamond choker in 18K pink gold, paired with the $13,000 matching earrings. She also wore the $33,000 Les Pétales Place Vendôme Roses triple Akoya cultured pearl bracelet, along with coordinating rings, adding a soft, elegant sparkle to the entire look.

Lady Gaga Brings Avant-Garde Drama in Matières Fécales x Christian Louboutin Platforms

Lady Gaga surprised fans with the release of Runway, her new track with Doechii for the film, and with news of her cameo in The Devil Wears Prada 2, making her premiere appearance feel even more exciting as she arrived in a sleek, all-black look.

Her shoes were mostly hidden under her gown, but when she lifted the skirt a bit, you could catch a glimpse of something really striking. She wore towering platform heels by Matières Fécales, in collaboration with Christian Louboutin, made of glossy patent leather.

The design was very avant-garde, with a sculptural, forward-curving heel, pointed toes, and sharply shaped platforms. Looking more like a piece of modern art than a typical pair of heels, the slim strap across the foot kept everything secure despite the bold structure.

Lady Gaga paired them with a classic black strapless gown from Saint Laurent’s Fall 2016 collection. The dress featured a sharp, structured V-shaped bodice that hugged her figure, then flowed into a dramatic mermaid skirt.

It was clean and minimal, which made me wish we had gotten a clearer look at those incredible shoes, but at the same time, the simplicity worked really well.

She finished the look with Tiffany & Co. Celeste earrings and her Sofia Jewelry custom engagement ring, adding just the right amount of sparkle.

Ciara Elevates Denim Drama with Classic Christian Louboutin Pumps

Ciara, who also appears in the film, showed up with that signature mix of city casual and modern edge, and I honestly loved how effortless it looked.

She stepped out in classic black Christian Louboutin pumps, and while they were simple, they did so much for the outfit. The pointed toes and slim stiletto heels gave that timeless, polished vibe, and the glossy finish added just enough shine to keep things interesting. These are the kind of heels that always work, no matter what you pair them with.

Ciara paired her heels with daisy dukes and a crisp white shirt, which, on their own, felt very laid-back, but the heels instantly made everything look more put-together and red-carpet-ready.

Then came the real statement piece, her custom Romeo Hunte denim coat. It completely transformed the outfit. The coat featured a structured collar, wide lapels, and a self-tie belt that cinched her waist, shaping the oversized silhouette. It even had a short train trailing behind her, which made it feel dramatic enough for the premiere while still keeping that cool, street-style vibe.

Ciara finished it off with a denim bag, a chunky crystal choker, and sunglasses, adding even more attitude to the look.

Simone Ashley Pops in Lime Green Prada and Silver Slingback Pumps

Simone Ashley, who plays Amari Mari, Miranda’s current first assistant, brought a fresh burst of color to the red carpet in a lime green Prada dress paired with silver pumps.

Her pumps were pretty simple at first glance, but silver always has a way of elevating any outfit. Made from metallic leather with a high-shine finish, they added a sleek, polished touch. The pointed toes kept things classic, while the slim elasticated slingback strap gave a more delicate feel.

What really made them interesting for me was the puffy Prada triangle logo detail, which added a modern twist. They also had around 4-inch angular heels, which tied in nicely with the look’s sharp, clean design. You can get these pumps for $1,200 at Nordstrom.

Simone Ashley paired her silver pumps with a strapless lime green Prada dress that was both structured and playful. The fitted bodice hugged her figure perfectly, while the mini skirt slightly flared at the hips, giving it a sculpted look.

The high-low hem, shorter in front to show off her legs, with a longer, rectangular train at the back, added a touch of drama.

Simone finished the look with Garatti jewelry, including a 5.01-carat fancy green diamond choker and a matching 3.02-carat ring, which pulled everything together beautifully.

Heidi Klum Floats in Seafoam Green and Strappy Gianvito Rossi Sandals

Heidi Klum made quite the entrance on the red carpet. The mix of seafoam green and silver instantly caught my attention. There was something so fresh and airy about it, and the soft color of the dress paired with the shine of her heels.

Klum wore a strappy pair of Gianvito Rossi sandals, the same style Amanda Seyfried recently wore to a Tiffany & Co. event. Crafted in Italy from lamb leather with a metallic silver finish, they featured an intricate, cage-like design, with slim straps gathered at the center and finished with a delicate flat bow.

They also featured a buckle-fastening slingback strap, pointed open toes, and sleek stiletto heels, keeping everything refined. You can get these Gianvito Rossi heels for $1,195 at Mytheresa.

Heidi paired them with a seafoam green gown designed by a contestant from Project Runway Season 22. I really liked the texture and pattern, with diagonal pleats running across the dress, creating a rippling, wave-like effect as she moved.

The high neckline and bold side cutouts added a modern edge, though I have to admit, the overall volume felt a bit overwhelming at times, like it was wearing her instead of the other way around.

Barbara Palvin Makes $50 Snakeskin Slingback Pumps Look Premiere-Ready

Barbara Palvin proved that great style really isn’t about the price tag; it’s all about how you wear it. I honestly loved this look because it felt effortless but still very put-together. She stepped out in pieces from the Devil Wears Prada x Scoop collection at Walmart, including a pair of $50 slingback pumps!

Her pumps were chic and very on-trend, featuring V-shaped vamps and a slim slingback strap. Though they were made from polyurethane, the snakeskin print gave them that elevated, luxe feel that easily passes for designer.

They were finished with pointed toes and around 3.6-inch stiletto heels, which added just the right amount of height and polish to her overall look.

Barbara Palvin paired her snakeskin pumps with a black fringe skirt from the same collection, designed with a wide waistband and double-layered fringe that moved with every step.

On top, she wore a crisp white button-down shirt with long drop sleeves and a lace-up back detail, which she French-tucked into the skirt. She layered a navy single-breasted blazer over it, leaving it open for that relaxed, cool vibe.

Her soft, messy ringlets added a sultry touch, while a simple tennis necklace and rings finished everything off nicely.

Tara Lipinski Plays with Texture in Givenchy Bow Mules and Vera Wang Ruffles

Tara Lipinski went for a fun, frilly look, and her shoes immediately caught my attention. She wore the Givenchy “Boudoir” bow mules in crinkled napa leather, which gave them a soft, slightly textured finish. There was something about that crinkled effect that made the shoes feel a bit more playful and fashion-forward.

I really loved the oversized, asymmetrical bow on top, which gave the mules a sculptural, modern look. They also featured squared open toes, which are very on-trend right now, adding a contemporary edge to the design.

The super-slim metal heels added contrast, and the small, jewel-inspired, faceted heel cap brought in a subtle, eye-catching detail that made them even more interesting. You can get these Givenchy heels for $1,390 at Nordstrom.

Lipinski paired the standout mules with a black Vera Wang mini dress that had just as much texture. The dress featured a halter neckline and an A-line silhouette, with layers of tiered ruffles and pleats that added volume and movement.

It flared out and ended high on the thighs, creating a playful, doll-like silhouette. The lavalier bow detail at the neckline tied everything together nicely!

Letting the outfit do most of the talking, Tara finished the look with simple bracelets and stud earrings.
