Anne Hathaway Talks Fashion and Being a Boy Mom Ahead of ‘Devil Wears Prada 2' Premiere

The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere is Monday, April 20 (with an official theatrical release date of May 1, 2026), and everyone is buzzing about this sequel's star. Actress Anne Hathawayrecently opened up in a new interview with People, talking about everything from fashion to parenting.

A lot has happened since The Devil Wears Prada debuted in 2006. The then-24-year-old Hathaway flawlessly captured the wide-eyed naivety of fashion-industry outsider-turned-assistant to the most powerful woman in town (Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly), Andy Sachs. And while she didn't know cerulean from basic blue, both Sachs and Hathaway have come a long way in the past 20 years. While her fictional self has grown into a confident features editor for Runway magazine, IRL Hathaway won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar and a Golden Globe in 2013 for her performance in Les Misérables. But that's not all. She also added a slew of film credits to her resume.

Of course, the addition of a few pretty major awards isn't the only way the actress has changed over the last two decades. Hathaway marriedAdam Shulman in 2012, who she says (in her new interview with People), "Supports me completely." The couple welcomed two sons, Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman (born in 2016) and Jack Shulman (born in 2019), making Hathaway a "boy mom."

As the actress gets ready for the public to watch her reprise the iconic Devil Wears Prada role, Hathaway reflected on fashion, beauty secrets, and her own sense of style. And now that she's a parent, the Academy Award winner also opened up about being a boy mom.

Per the People interview, Hathway revealed, "I'm a tomboy! I love that being a boy mom has really informed my fashion." So, how exactly has her style changed now that she is the mom of two? Hathaway goes on to say, "I have to always be able to go from a serious business meeting to, like, a basketball court." And yes, we get it. As Anne also adds, "Dress wisely because you 100 percent are going to have a projectile thrown at you probably before the end of breakfast."

In a video clip, posted to People'sInstagram page, Hathaway points out that the blue velvet CJR suit she's wearing for the interview would, in her words, "absolutely fit the bill." That is, minus the heels. But Hathaway seems to have that covered too, "Yeah, that's why you have the bag. You have your mom shoes, and then you have your, you know, business shoes." Now that's some sage parenting (scratch that, fashion) advice!
