Meryl Streep Reveals Fashion Fears at 2006 'The Devil Wears Prada' Premieres

other · 2026-04-19

Meryl Streep disclosed that fear of Anna Wintour initially limited costume options for the 2006 film 'The Devil Wears Prada' during a Vogue interview with Wintour and Greta Gerwig. The movie's original premiere occurred at the 2006 L.A. Film Festival, where Anne Hathaway wore a yellow satin Prada dress alongside Connie Britton, Jeff Goldblum, and Parker Posey. Subsequent international festival appearances included Venice and Deauville with Hathaway, Streep, and Stanley Tucci. A major New York celebration featured Hathaway in a crimson gown and Emily Blunt in magenta lace. Current promotion for the sequel involves extensive global travel by Streep and Hathaway to cities like Mexico City and Seoul, culminating in a New York premiere. The 2006 promotional campaign was notably smaller than contemporary efforts, with red carpets now more elaborate productions.
