Anne Hathaway is firmly back in the fashion spotlight—and not quietly. As the buzz around The Devil Wears Prada 2 builds, her press tour wardrobe has become just as talked about as the film itself. With each appearance, Hathaway continues to deliver looks that feel intentional, polished, and subtly referential to her fashion legacy.
It's all part of a wider moment. With co-stars like Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt also making appearances, the film's press circuit has turned into a masterclass in modern 'method dressing.' But at a recent New York screening, it was Hathaway who drew the most attention, thanks to a look that felt effortless at first glance, yet carefully considered in every detail.
Anne Hathaway's NYC Look
At the New York screening of The Devil Wears Prada 2, Hathaway leaned into a look that felt both striking and deliberate—equal parts classic glamour and playful maximalism. She didn't opt for something understated, she embraced colour and texture in a way that instantly commanded attention.
The foundation of the outfit was a knee-length vibrant red shirt dress, tailored with a sharp button-down front that gave it structure. Draped over her shoulders was a leopard-print coat, complete with a rich gold lining that caught the light as she moved.
Her styling choices tied everything together seamlessly. Her red pointed-toe heels matched the dress, while a bold red lip reinforced the cohesive colour story. Black cat-eye sunglasses added a hint of retro attitude, complemented by her softly styled hair that nodded to old Hollywood glamour.
Despite the layered elements, nothing felt overwhelming. Each piece had its moment, but the overall look remained controlled and intentional. It felt cinematic, but still wearable.
And then came the finishing touch: a small, structured top-handle bag, which grounded the entire outfit with a refined, polished edge.
The Celebrity-Favourite Mayfair Bag
The actress was spotted, carrying a structured top-handle bag from Aspinal of London. Specifically, it was a Midi Mayfair in a deep shine cherry ombre croc finish.
The bag doesn't scream for attention but gets it anyway. With its polished silhouette, glossy texture, and gold-tone hardware, it sits comfortably in that 'quiet luxury' space dominating fashion right now. It's elegant, timeless, and just bold enough to stand out in a sea of black accessories.
And Hathaway isn't the only one who's been spotted with it. The Midi Mayfair has quietly built a following among high-profile names, including Queen Camilla, Kate Middleton, and Selena Gomez, and more. That mix of royal approval and celebrity styling power has helped push the bag into cult-favourite territory.

How and Where to Buy It
If you're wondering whether this is one of those impossible-to-get pieces, the answer is no. in fact, it's available online.
The Mayfair bag typically retails between £550 and £1,650, depending on the finish and size. The version Hathaway carried is a midi size and one of the more statement options, thanks to its rich tonal gradient and high-gloss finish.
In terms of design, it ticks all the boxes:
- Structured top-handle silhouette
- Flap closure with signature shield lock
- Croc-embossed leather exterior
- Compact but practical interior
Beyond the cherry ombre, the collection comes in a wide range of colours and finishes. Think classic black, soft neutrals like ivory and taupe, and seasonal shades that rotate throughout the year. There are also variations in smooth leather and velvet for those who prefer a more understated texture.
You can shop the bag directly through Aspinal of London boutiques and its official website, as well as select luxury department stores. That said, popular colours have a habit of selling out quickly—especially when they get this level of celebrity exposure.
Hathaway's Style Influence Isn't Slowing Down
As the The Devil Wears Prada 2 about to hit theaters, Hathaway is proving that her influence in fashion is far from fleeting. Each appearance adds another layer to her evolving style story, which blends nostalgia with a sharper, more modern edge.
With more premieres and appearances still to come for her other movies, there's little doubt Hathaway will keep delivering standout moments. If this New York look is anything to go by, it's the subtle details that will define her most memorable fashion choices this season.
