Andy Sachs Definitely Would Have Worn Anne Hathaway’s Latest Front Row Look

For millennials who grew up obsessively watching and quoting every line from The Devil Wears Prada (“Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking.”), it almost feels like a full-circle moment to spot Anne Hathaway sitting front row at fashion shows. Of course, unlike her on-screen alter-ego, Andy Sachs, the award-winning isn’t raiding her office’s fashion closet for luxury looks to wear to said events — she works closely with esteemed celebrity stylist Erin Walsh. And lately it seems the duo can do no wrong when it comes to high-fashion moments. Case in point: On Feb. 23, Hathaway attended Versace’s Fall/Winter 2024 shown in Milan, and brought the heat in a sultry fire-engine red midi dress.

Hathaway is the very first celebrity to wear this number, as it was look 67 in the Italian fashion house’s Fall/Winter 2024 line (stars always get first dibs on designer looks, after all). The sleek number’s form-fitting silhouette fit like a glove on the actor, while the corset-like bodice and ruched details add a sense of intrigue. Though model Rianne Van donned the piece alongside gloves and pumps in the same vivid shade (as seen ahead), Hathaway made a few small tweaks to her front-row outfit. The A-lister went with a black, square-shaped handbag and pointy heels with a sweet bow. She kept her jewelry simple by skipping a necklace and instead opting for two large bangles and coordinating rings.

And TZR editors, who are long-time The Devil Wears Prada fans, also noticed a reference from the 2006 film. One of the models cosplayed as Hathaway’s character, Andy, strutting down the runway in a look very similar to her first head-to-toe designer look in the movie. Yes, you know the scene: “Are you wearing the…?” Emily, played by Emily Blunt, asked Andy. “The Chanel boots? Yeah, I am,” Andy answered. Sure, the two looks may be a tad different, but both featured a sharp blazer and dramatic over-the-knee boots. Was this merely a coincidence, or did Donatella Versace plan for this, knowing Hathaway would be in attendance? We can’t say for certain either way. But regardless, this moment will be engrained in our brains for a long time.

All in all, our take? Hathaway’s Versace front-row look was another fashion win.
