The Met Gala 2026 brought together the stars of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, and Simone Ashley graced the red carpet, though Meryl Streep was not in attendance.
Hathaway and Blunt opted for more understated fashion choices compared to their glamorous movie personas. Streep, whose character Miranda Priestly would have relished the event, has never attended the Met Gala.
In a statement to People magazine, it was revealed that while Streep has been invited for years, she finds the gala's atmosphere does not suit her personality.
This year's gala theme, 'Costume Art,' encouraged attendees to explore the deeper meaning of clothing and its relationship with the body. Many celebrities drew inspiration from famous artworks and cultural elements.
Fashion Choices at the Gala
Hathaway showcased a black Mikado ball gown adorned with hand-painted designs by artist Peter McGough, embodying a regal theme. Blunt wore a two-piece by Ashi Studio, featuring a corset and a pearl necklace that complemented her character's edgy style.
Ashley turned heads in a chain dress by Stella McCartney, reflecting her character's glamorous persona in the film. Meanwhile, Tucci impressed in a moss green tuxedo, embodying the fashionable flair of his character Nigel.
It feels like wearable art and captures the idea of jewelry becoming part of the garment.
Emily Blunt
The reunion of the film's core cast brought nostalgia for fans, as they reprised their roles with evolved character arcs. Hathaway's Andy Sachs has matured, while Blunt's Emily Charlton has transitioned to a marketing executive role.
Despite Streep's absence, the event celebrated the lasting impact of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' and its stars, leaving many hopeful for her future participation.
