Anne Hathaway Handles Stair Mishap with Grace on The Devil Wears Prada 2 Set

Academy Award-winning actor Anne Hathaway proved once again why she is admired not only for her acting but also for her elegance under pressure. During the filming of The Devil Wears Prada 2 in New York, Hathaway experienced a minor accident when the heel of her shoe snapped, sending her tumbling down a set of stairs.

A Minor Fall with a Big Smile

Hathaway, 42, was in the middle of shooting a scene when her footwear betrayed her. She lost her balance on the steps and fell, but instead of letting the moment disrupt the production, she quickly bounced back. Laughing off the incident, she stood up, raised her hands, and reassured everyone around her with a cheerful “I’m fine,” while still holding half of a bagel in her hand.

Support from the Crew

Crew members rushed to assist her, but Hathaway brushed off the concern with her trademark warmth. She hugged a few members of the team before continuing with the shoot. Photos captured her leaning on a crew member for support, smiling through the mishap, and even walking with her broken shoe in place. The images spread quickly online, winning praise for her humor and resilience.

A Glimpse Behind the Sequel

The much-anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is slated for release on May 1, 2026. Directed once again by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, the film brings back its iconic cast — Anne Hathaway as Andy, Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Emily Blunt as Emily, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel.

This time, the familiar faces will be joined by newcomers including Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, Rachel Bloom, and Simone Ashley. The star-studded cast has already set fans buzzing with excitement, with behind-the-scenes photos from New York generating major anticipation.

Legacy of the Original

The original The Devil Wears Prada, inspired by Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel, was a worldwide success, grossing more than $326 million globally. The story of a young woman navigating the ruthless world of fashion struck a chord with audiences and cemented itself as a modern classic.

With the sequel on the horizon, every glimpse from the set — including Hathaway’s lighthearted recovery from her stumble — has only heightened curiosity about how the next chapter in the story will unfold.
