"Streep said she was 'struck by how not only beautiful and young [...] but alarmingly thin the models were.' She thought that all had been addressed years ago."
"'Annie clocked it too,' Streep said. 'She made a beeline to the producers about it, securing promises that the models in the show that we were putting together for our film would not be so skeletal! She's a stand-up girl.'"
"Despite taking heavy inspiration from the real-world fashion industry, its depiction of models is apparently one area where it's willing to diverge from reality."
The Devil Wears Prada 2 reunites Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep, along with Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt, two decades after the original film. The sequel follows Hathaway's character, Andy Sachs, and Streep's Miranda Priestly as they reconnect. Unlike the first film, the fashion industry now embraces the sequel, allowing the cast to attend Milan Fashion Week. Streep and Hathaway were concerned about the models' extreme thinness at the shows, prompting Hathaway to advocate for healthier representation in the film's portrayal of models.
