Oscars 2026: Anne Hathaway and Anna Wintour's 'Devil Wears Prada' Moment Anne Hathaway and Anna Wintour made a bold appearance at the 2026 Oscars, delivering a promotional moment for The Devil Wears Prada 2 during the ceremony. The duo took the stage to present the Best Costume Design award, with Frankenstein’s Kate Hawley ultimately winning the category. Wintour, known for her iconic role as Vogue editor Anna Wintour, stepped into the spotlight alongside Hathaway, who portrayed the character Miranda Priestly in the original film. The pair arrived on stage to the iconic track “Vogue” by Madonna, setting the tone for a performance that paid homage to the film’s memorable style. Hathaway, channeling her character’s sharp wit, remarked on the importance of costume in storytelling, noting, “The character’s costume is key to telling a story. One could argue that one’s wardrobe in real life is also key. Does it make one appear elegant and attractive on, say, the most important night in Hollywood, and say, the most important people in fashion will be judging how one looks... Anna, I’m just curious, what do you think of my dress tonight?” Wintour responded with her trademark deadpan humor, quipping, “And the nominees are…” before the audience erupted in laughter. The exchange highlighted the blend of humor and reverence for fashion that defined the moment. The Oscars ceremony featured a mix of nostalgic reunions and standout performances, including the Sinners cast and Misty Copeland’s rendition of “I Lied to You,” which drew widespread acclaim. Conan O’Brien’s monologue also sparked conversation, as he took aim at AI and Timothée Chalamet, while the Bridesmaids cast’s reunion on stage added a chaotic yet heartwarming touch to the event.#anna_wintour #anne_hathaway #devil_wears_prada_2 #oscar_ceremony_2026 #vogue
Anna Wintour and Anne Hathaway Made a Playful ‘Devil Wears Prada’ Reference at the 2026 Oscars The 2026 Oscars ceremony featured a memorable moment when Anna Wintour, Vogue Global Editorial Director, and Anne Hathaway, an Oscar-winning actress, took the stage to present awards for best costume design and best hair and makeup. The duo joined Frankenstein costume designer Kate Hawley and hair and makeup artists Mike Hill, Cliona Furey, Jordan Samuel, and Megan Many in receiving the honors. The interaction between Wintour and Hathaway drew attention as Hathaway nervously asked Wintour for her opinion on her outfit. Wintour responded with a sharp, humorous remark: “And the nominees for best costume design are…” This line was a clear nod to Hathaway’s role as a fashion assistant in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, where her character, Andrea, often found herself in awkward situations while navigating the high-stakes world of fashion. The reference was met with laughter, as the audience recognized the playful twist on the film’s iconic moment. Wintour later acknowledged Hathaway by saying, “Thank you, Emily,” a gesture that confirmed the nod to the movie. While Hathaway’s character in The Devil Wears Prada is named Andrea, the real-life Hathaway’s assistant, Emily, was present at the Dolby Theatre, adding a layer of authenticity to the moment. Wintour’s outfit, a Dior ensemble, and Hathaway’s Valentino gown were notable choices. The Valentino dress carried significance, as Hathaway had a close relationship with the late designer. She had attended Valentino’s funeral in Rome earlier that year and shared heartfelt tributes on Instagram, describing him as a “dear and cherished friend” who had a profound impact on her life.#valentino #anna_wintour #anne_hathaway #the_devil_wears_prada #dior
