Anne Hathaway has always been known for her poise, charm, and ability to laugh at herself, and her latest on-set moment proves it once again. While filming The Devil Wears Prada 2, Hathaway reportedly took a tumble down a few steps during a scene, leaving fans both concerned and amused when behind-the-scenes photos and clips surfaced online.
The fall, which fans immediately compared to her now-iconic trip in The Princess Diaries (a real accident that director Garry Marshall famously kept in the film), saw Hathaway lose her footing as the heel of her shoe snapped mid-step. Despite what looked like a painful landing, the actress quickly bounced back, laughing and brushing it off with the same grace and humour that has endeared her to audiences for over two decades.
Reactions online have been overwhelmingly affectionate. Fans joked that “stairs have had it out for her since 2001” while others lovingly dubbed her “clumsy-coded.” Many highlighted how she manages to turn even a misstep into a moment of charisma, with one commenter quipping: “Even when she falls, she falls like a queen.” Another noted the uncanny connection to her Princess Diaries days, saying, “You can take the girl out of Genovia, but you can’t take the Genovia out of the girl.”
The incident also sparked debate over the film’s wardrobe, with some fashion fans criticizing the costumes as looking “cheap” compared to the timeless couture of the 2006 original. Others defended the updated look as a reflection of how the fashion industry itself has changed in recent years.
Either way, Hathaway’s stumble has only heightened anticipation for the sequel. If anything, it reminded fans why she remains such a beloved star: her ability to be glamorous one moment, relatable the next, and unforgettable in both.
