“The Devil Wears Prada 2” has touched down in London — the final stop on a whirlwind premiere tour.
As such, the cast has pulled out all the stops when it comes to their looks for the UK-based event, held in Leicester Square.
Hathaway, who opted for Old Hollywood glamour in a red satin tea-length Louis Vuitton dress in New York City, today slipped into a risqué, totally sheer corset look from Versace.
The gown was crafted of deep navy blue velvet, featuring a strapless neckline and up-to-there sit down the front.
The top of the luxe bodice was designed to look like a deconstructed tuxedo, with a lapel at the chest and four oversized buttons traveling down the front.
Sheer mesh panels on her side showed off a bit of skin between the boned structure of the corset.
Hathaway’s hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail to show off her $67,000 Bulgari diamond and emerald Serpenti earrings while she kept her neck bare.
The actress posed on the red carpet with her cast members as well as Donatella Versace herself.
And, while Versace is no longer the designer of her family’s namesake brand, she remains the Chief Brand Ambassador and friend to Hathaway herself.
For an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” last Wednesday, Hathaway also chose a vintage look from Versace, slipping into a black long-sleeve minidress with sky-high platform heels.
Versace shared a video of the look on Instagram, writing, “@annehathaway is that the…. ‘91 Versace…. Yes. Yes, it is. 🖤,” in reference to the famous line from “The Devil Wears Prada.”
In keeping with the method dressing of the press tour, we can’t help but draw parallels between Hathaway’s power suit-inspired gown and the actual power suit that stands as her first look of the sequel.
Shown in the initial trailer for the film, Hathaway stands equally as powerful and buttoned-up in a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier pin-striped vest and trousers.
In London, Hathaway’s co-stars shared in the spotlight, as Emily Blunt chose a Balenciaga pant and top set in the movie’s signature red hue — as well as $1 million worth of Mikimoto diamond and pearl jewelry.
Meryl Streep stuck strongly to the color palette as well in black pants, a white shirt and red satin coat and pumps — all from Prada, no less.
