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