Devil Wears Prada 2: Cerulean Sweater's Iconic Return
2 May
Summary
- The cerulean sweater from 2006 returns in a new form.
- Anne Hathaway actively participated in styling the iconic color.
- Subtle nods to the original film appear throughout the sequel.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 features a prominent callback to the original film's iconic cerulean sweater scene. Director David Frankel confirmed that Anne Hathaway, returning as Andy Sachs, worked closely with costume designer Molly Rogers to reintroduce the memorable shade. The color appears in various elements, including Andy's apartment decor and a dress worn to a birthday party.
Hathaway personally selected a Paco Rabanne dress for a scene, and for the sequel's closing moments, a duplicate of the original cerulean sweater was modified. Hathaway suggested cutting the sleeves off the sweater to transform it into a vest, a decision that adds a new dimension to the iconic piece.
The film also includes subtle references to the original, such as a scene where Andy encounters a street vendor selling belts in a manner reminiscent of a scene in the first movie. Frankel aimed for these nods without being overly conspicuous, opting not to bring back other notable items like the Chanel boots, which Andy mentions giving away.
