Anne Hathaway Blind Ranks 6 Most Iconic Dialogues From 'The Devil Wears Prada' Ahead of the Sequel

Published 04/30/2026, 1:26 AM EDT

Before The Devil Wears Prada 2 officially lands in theaters on May 1, 2026, Anne Hathaway sat down for a blind ranking game of the most iconic lines from the original 2006 film. With Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci all set to return, the nostalgia is at an all-time high. Hathaway did not hold back, debating, laughing, and even making some very sneaky last-minute moves that she absolutely denies.

As the anticipation for the sequel builds, Hathaway is out here quietly rewriting history, one ranking at a time.

Anne Hathaway ranked six of the most iconic dialogues from The Devil Wears Prada blind, and the cerulean sweater speech nearly broke her. She started confidently, placing "florals for spring" at three. Then came the cerulean moment. She heard the blue sweater monologue and immediately moved it to second place, knocked what was at third down to fifth, and slid what was originally her second pick into the third spot.

"Nothing happened," she declared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, before crowning "gird your loins" as number one.

When the chaos finally settled, this is what the ranking board looked like:

  1. "Gird your loins."
  2. "That sweater is not just blue. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean."
  3. "Oh, I'm sorry, do you have some commitment? Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?"
  4. "Details of your incompetence do not interest me."
  5. "Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking."
  6. "Okay. Can you please spell Gabbana?"

The Devil Wears Prada 2 officially opens in US theaters on May 1, 2026, nearly 20 years after the original redefined the fashion drama genre. Directed by David Frankel and written by original screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, the sequel brings back the entire original core cast alongside a fresh wave of major new additions. Early press screenings held in New York on April 28 drew positive reactions from critics, and the film currently sits at 77% on Rotten Tomatoes, signaling that this reunion is far more than just a nostalgia trip dressed up in Runway couture.

Simone Ashley plays Amari, Miranda's sharp new assistant. Lucy Liu steps in with a major supporting role, and Lady Gaga joins in a role rumored to be a rival fashion executive. Gaga also performs an original song titled 'Runway' alongside Doechii, which was previewed in the final trailer.

The story leans into the collapse of traditional print media and the rise of digital luxury as its central tension. Miranda is no longer untouchable. She needs Emily's financial backing to save the magazine, which instantly flips the power dynamic that defined their entire relationship in the first film. Andy is caught right in the middle of her former mentor and her former rival. Much like Hathaway's sneaky ranking game, this sequel is clearly not playing by the old rules.
