The evening unfolded as a showcase of couture and cinematic brilliance, with the city turning up the glamour and delivering unmistakable Met Gala–level energy as it welcomed the iconic duo reprising their roles as Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs in the 20th Century Studios film

After a press meet during the day, Streep and Hathaway, clad in Saint Laurent and Susan Feng respectively, arrived for a movie gala night in Taikoo Li Qiantan and received an overwhelming response from local fans

The Devil Wears Prada 2 reunites the original core team, with director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna returning alongside the lead cast. The film is produced by Wendy Finerman, with Michael Bederman, Karen Rosenfelt, and Aline Brosh McKenna serving as executive producers

Anne Hathaway delivered a confection-inspired look in an airy Susan Fang dress from the London-based designer’s Fall 2026 collection

The outfit featured a high neckline with delicate spaghetti straps and a flared skirt that fell to the knees. Layers of soft pink and lavender ruffles added a rich, textured feel

To give it a contemporary edge, stylist Erin Walsh accessorised the ensemble with round diamond Bulgari earrings and transparent PVC Gianvito Rossi slingback heels finished with metallic gold toe cap

In contrast, Meryl Streep’s Shanghai premiere outfit carried a more pointed fashion reference. She wore a custom Saint Laurent silk coat with a funnel neck in a deep blue shade, cinched at the waist with a black belt

Stylist Micaela Erlanger kept the focus on the striking colour, pairing it with sheer black tights, satin pumps, a jeweled floral brooch, and oversized dark sunglasses—a signature touch of her character Priestly

Meryl Streep and Anne have so far toured to Seoul, South Korea and Mexico City. They will next be visiting New York and London as well
