The Devil Wears Prada 2 is already making headlines — but not for the reasons fans expected.
While excitement builds around the long-awaited sequel, much of the conversation has centered on comments made by Anne Hathaway during filming.
What Sparked the Controversy?
Hathaway, who reprises her role as Andy Sachs, was spotted filming alongside Meryl Streep during Milan Fashion Week.
During that time, she spoke openly about the fashion industry’s long-standing issues with body standards, describing the presence of extremely thin models as “skeletal.”
She also encouraged filmmakers to prioritize greater body inclusivity in the sequel.
Rumors Spiral Online
Soon after, parts of the internet began claiming that actors had been fired for not meeting new body standards.
The backlash quickly grew — forcing Hathaway to step in and set the record straight.
“That Just Didn’t Happen”
Addressing the rumors, Hathaway made it clear:
“Nobody lost their jobs; in fact, it created more jobs.”
She explained that her comments were taken out of context and that the goal was never to exclude anyone — but to expand representation.
What She Actually Meant
According to Hathaway, the intention was simple:
- Show more diverse body types on screen
- Reflect real-world audiences
- Add opportunities, not remove them
“It was just about making sure that so many different body types saw themselves…”
Bigger Than the Film
The moment highlights how quickly narratives can spiral online — especially when tied to major projects like The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Instead of controversy, Hathaway says the change led to something positive:
More roles, more inclusivity, and broader representation.
