Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep steal attention with playful red carpet moment at Shanghai premiere

Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep created a memorable moment on the red carpet during the Shanghai premiere event connected to The Devil Wears Prada 2. The two actors, who famously portrayed Andy Sachs and Miranda Priestly in the beloved fashion comedy The Devil Wears Prada, were photographed sharing a playful interaction that quickly captured the attention of fans online.

During the red carpet appearance, the duo made an entrance while dancing playfully after which Streep appeared to lose her footing slightly while the pair were posing together for photographers. Streep instinctively reached out and grabbed onto Hathaway’s dress for support as they both laughed and steadied themselves. The brief moment looked as if Streep was about to fall forward before holding onto her co-star, creating an unexpectedly humorous scene that delighted onlookers.

Once they regained their balance, the pair composed themselves and continued posing for photos, smiling widely as cameras flashed around them. The playful exchange reflected the strong chemistry the two actors developed while working together on the original film, which premiered in 2006 and remains one of the most recognised fashion themed comedies in modern cinema.

Fashion also became a talking point from the event. Hathaway arrived wearing a striking design from the label Susan Fang, while Streep opted for an elegant look from Saint Laurent. Their contrasting styles attracted praise from fans and fashion observers, with many commenting that both actors looked remarkable in their own distinct way.

Images from the red carpet spread rapidly across social media platforms, where fans expressed excitement about seeing the duo reunited publicly. Many posts referenced the cultural legacy of The Devil Wears Prada, a film that became known for its sharp dialogue, memorable performances and iconic fashion moments. Streep’s portrayal of the intimidating magazine editor Miranda Priestly earned widespread acclaim, while Hathaway’s performance as the determined assistant Andy Sachs helped cement her status as a leading Hollywood actor.
