Anne Hathaway, 42, took an unexpected tumble while filming The Devil Wears Prada 2 in New York City on Wednesday, creating a buzz among fans. The Oscar-winning actress, reprising her role as Andy Sachs, was dressed in a beige patterned blouse, black skirt, and strappy heels when her heel snapped, causing her to lose balance and fall on a pink stoop. Despite the awkward landing, Hathaway laughed it off, shouting, “I’m fine!” as she stood up, even raising her hands like a gymnast finishing a routine.
The incident, captured in on-set photos, showed Hathaway’s resilience and humor. She later embraced a crew member, smiling near the scene. It remains unclear if the fall was scripted for the film. On Thursday, Hathaway playfully addressed the moment on Instagram, sharing a fan-made video comparing her recent fall to a similar mishap in The Princess Diaries (2006), which was kept in the final cut. Her caption read, “Twenty years later, still falling for you…”
The Devil Wears Prada 2 began filming in NYC last month, bringing back Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestley, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling. New cast members include Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, and Conrad Ricamora. Sydney Sweeney and Paige DeSorbo were spotted on set, though their roles await confirmation. Notably, Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s love interest in the original, will not return, with Patrick Brammall reportedly stepping in as her new romantic partner.
According to Variety, the sequel follows Miranda navigating the decline of traditional magazine publishing while clashing with Emily, now a powerful executive at a luxury group with vital advertising funds. This modern storyline promises to revisit the iconic fashion world with fresh drama.
Hathaway’s fall has sparked interest in the highly anticipated sequel, reminding fans of her charm and relatability. As production continues, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to deliver nostalgia and new twists for audiences. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project!
