Eighteen years after the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada, its stars – Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Meryl Streep – will reunite for a one-off moment at the 2024 SAG Awards. 

The film – which saw Meryl earn a SAG Award and Oscars nomination for her role as Runway magazine editor, Miranda Priestley – followed Anne's character Andrea Sachs as she became Miranda's assistant and learned the brutal and cruel ways of the fashion magazine industry. Said to be loosely based on Vogue's Anna Wintour the film became a box office success and in the almost two decades since has become meme-worthy.

The premiere took place in June 2006 in New York City, and Emily's outfit is peak 2006. The actress – who this year is nominated for outstanding performance by a female actor in a supporting role, and outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, both for her role in Oppenheimer – wore a silk pink camisole dress, that hit just above the knee and featured black lace detailing around the square neckline. 

She paired the look with white backless kitten heels that were decorated with daisy motifs.

Anne meanwhile – who will premiere her new movie The Idea of You at South by Southwest in Austin this March – wore a classic fire-engine red gown with billowing sleeves and a deep V-neck. She wore her hair up with a sweeping side fringe, and minimal jewelry.

Meryl kept it safe in a tonal lace and silk dress with long sleeves and a matching shawl and nude court heels. 

But almost 20 years later, the three award-winning actresses may have changed up their personal red carpet styling, but they are just as gorgeous as ever. 

British actress Emily, who has been making her way around the awards circuit this year, has been rocking bold designs including Moschino sequins, Oscar de la Renta tea dresses with sheer paneling, and most recently an Elie Saab nude gown with metallic detailing.

Anne, who will star alongside Mary & George star Nicholas Galitzine in The Idea of You, a bestselling book that was loosely based on Harry Styles fanfiction, has also upped her fashion game in recent years, and is often spotted front row at the fashion week's including recently in a stunning white jumpsuit at Moncler Grenoble's A/W 2024 shows, red leather at Versace in Milan, and classic black Armani in New York.

Meryl, now 74, has leaned into her styling in the last few years as a big fan of suits. 

At the 2024 Golden Globes she elevated the look with a custom Valentino look that saw her wear a sequin maxi skirt and matching duster jacket, paired with a crisp white shirt, while at the Grammys she wore more custom Valentino; stark white sequined cocktail pajamas.

In December, Emily and Anne reunited as part of Variety's "Actors on Actors" series, and reflected on filming The Devil Wears Prada, which also starred Adrien Grenier and Stanley Tucci.

"We just had a joy bomb of a time on that movie," Emily explained. "I don’t know if any of us knew it was going to become what it did. It’s quoted to me every week. It will be the movie that changed my life."
