Molly Rogers’s Effectively-Worn Path to Costuming “The Satan Wears Prada 2”

I wish to speak about “The Satan Wears Prada 2.” There have been so many appears to be like in it that I don’t know the place to start. I feel lots of people will probably be speaking about these sequin culottes that Anne Hathaway wears.

I can’t consider you clocked these. These have been knickers.

What shifted for you, by way of the costuming method, between the 2 movies?

Effectively, I bear in mind through the first film, Pat stated that in some distant nook of her thoughts she noticed Andy Sachs as Annie Corridor. So after I was interested by what Andy has performed over the previous twenty years, the primary phrases on her temper board that I confirmed the director have been “female menswear.” And it was all within the shops—like a high-waisted pant. And, the extra I thought of it, the extra I used to be, like, that tracks together with her working in a newsroom, the place you roll your sleeves up and also you’ve obtained a vest on, and also you’re making the deadline. Then issues would current themselves, like these Valentino knickers. I used to be interested by exploring that menswear house. Andy wears lots of suspenders.

Oh, sure. I’m pondering of a killer black gown she wears in a dinner scene in Milan.

That was Armani Privé. We have been purported to movie his fiftieth style present whereas we have been in Milan. I used to be so excited. However he died that month. Despite the fact that we didn’t get to shoot that, it was necessary to Meryl and Anne to put on Armani in that “Final Supper” scene.

Oh, sure, I really like Meryl’s coat in that scene. So shiny!

We’ve got to have our glitter. That’s the magpie in me.

Meryl was very bejewelled on this film. She wears much more bling than she did within the first movie. I’m pondering of a glittery collar she wears that appears a bit like R.B.G. however make it style.

That collar was the very first thing I purchased for the film. I didn’t know the place it might find yourself. I put one other collar on her initially, however Meryl noticed that one, and she or he stated, “Diana Vreeland.” I used to be, like, I used to be pondering Cleopatra, however O.Okay., that’s cool, I might meet you there.

One factor I believed was impressed was the way you made Emily Blunt’s character, who now works at Dior, a form of style sufferer. She is carrying a lot branded Dior gear, and these baroque outfits.

Effectively, you already know, what’s humorous is, these outfits weren’t essentially meant to be humorous. On the funeral scene, the place she’s carrying that Dior beret, with the lace-face masking, I simply thought it was her being in excessive style. However the director, [David Frankel], thought that the outfit was hilarious. I used to be, like, Oh, my God, we’re not making the identical film. Assist me. However he isn’t savvy—he’s not studying Girls’s Put on Every day. And he noticed one thing else in it, and it helped him in that scene.

I additionally wish to speak about what Anne wore for one celebration scene. It’s a blue sequin gown that just about has an eighties promenade really feel to it, with the ruffles and the draping.
