Twenty years after the original "DWP," the actress is "still falling for you..."
There's no greater fashion runway than the streets of New York City, and that's precisely where Anne Hathaway recently took a tumble while filming the highly anticipated sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2.
As captured in photos and videos, the actress tripped down a flight of steps Wednesday while exiting a building in character as Andy Sachs, the aspiring journalist and reluctant fashionista introduced in the original Devil Wears Prada nearly two decades ago.
Dressed in a plaid top, a black pleated skirt, and sunglasses, Hathaway appeared to slip when the heel of her shoe broke, and then popped back up while raising her hands in mock triumph.
A day later, she again demonstrated that a bit of self-deprecating humor never goes out of style, as she reposted an Instagram video of herself falling down and also threw it back to another of her fan-favorite screen roles.
The "how it started vs. how it's going"-style video began with a clip from the 2001 movie The Princess Diaries, showing Hathaway's shy teen Mia Thermopolis walking on some bleachers before losing her footing and collapsing into a heap.
The video then cut to a clip of her Devil Wears Prada 2 mishap, which was recorded by the Mayell Real Estate agency, located next door to where the movie was filming. The clip was soundtracked by the Madonna monster hit "Vogue," which was featured in the original DWP movie, and Hathaway wrote in the caption, "Twenty years later, still falling for you..."
You could call it a full-circle moment.
Based on the best-selling Laura Weisberger novel, the original Devil Wears Prada hit theaters in 2006, following Hathaway's frumpy but sharp-witted Andy as she toiled for icy fashion editor Miranda Priestly (unforgettably played by Meryl Streep). The cast also included Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Simon Baker, Adrien Grenier, and Gisele Bündchen.
The movie was a critical and commercial success, and EW reported last year that most of the major stars and much of the creative team would finally be returning for a sequel.
Plot details have yet to be revealed, though Weisberger has written two sequels to her book that could provide inspiration: 2013's Revenge Wears Prada and 2018's When Life Gives You Lululemons.
