NEED TO KNOW
Leave it to Anne Hathaway to trip and tell.
As filming for the Devil Wears Prada sequel continues in New York City, bystanders are releasing content of what they’re seeing on set, and recently, photographers captured the very moment that Hathaway, one of the film’s leading ladies, took a tumble from the heel of her shoe breaking mid-scene. The actress, 42, bounced back, though, and even recovered gracefully with a bagel in her hand.
Now, it looks like the moment became viral enough on social media for the Oscar winner to address the incident.
In an Instagram post shared on Aug. 28, she stitched a video of her recent fall, captioned with “witnessing the queen herself take a tumble like a champ,” with a scene from The Princess Diaries that shows her character, Mia Thermopolis, slipping on the school bleachers in a move that was unscripted but perfectly fitting for the film.
“Twenty years later, still falling for you…” Hathaway captioned her post.
Sitting down in 2020 for The Happy Days of Garry Marshall program, Hathaway reflected on the accidental stumble that ended up becoming Hollywood gold.
“I turned really fast, slipped on a puddle, and just I mean fell. I mean just absolutely fell, and burst out laughing and kept going with the scene. Never thought about it again,” she said. “All of a sudden, like six months later it’s in the trailer … He kept it because it was a charming moment,” she added of director Marshall.

Filming for the The Devil Wears Prada 2 began on June 30 in N.Y.C. Several of the cast from the original released in 2006 will be returning, including Meryl Streep (Miranda Priestly), Emily Blunt (Emily Charlton) and Stanley Tucci (Nigel). Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, and Simone Ashley were announced as newcomers to the film.
According to Variety, the sequel follows Priestly “as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt’s character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.”
The movie could also incorporate plot points of the book sequel, Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, released by The Devil Wears Prada author Lauren Weisberger in 2013.

Fans of the franchise have been very vocal about the costumes seen on set so far. Costumer Molly Rogers told The New York Post in an Aug. 19 interview, “You know, people are just gonna get burned out with all the paparazzi shots.”
“It’s just such a shame,” Rogers added. “A lot of times, you feel like you’ve already seen the movie just by the exterior shots.”
