"Hathaway made a beeline to the producers to ensure that skeletal models wouldn't feature in the film, believing a wider range of bodies would enhance audience enjoyment."
"The sequel features just enough inclusivity to tick the box, mainly through the casting of comedian Caleb Hearon and a brief appearance of plus-size models."
"The first film arrived at the height of noughties diet culture, where body-shaming was rampant, and celebrities' bodies were heavily scrutinized in the media."
During the global press tour for The Devil Wears Prada 2, Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway expressed concerns about body diversity in fashion. They were alarmed by the thinness of models at Milan fashion week. Hathaway approached producers to advocate for a wider range of body types in the film. However, the sequel features minimal actual inclusivity, with only a few plus-size models and weight-related jokes, indicating a lack of genuine commitment to body diversity despite initial promises.
