The ‘Look of the Week’ series is dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfits of the last seven days.
Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue, and Anne Hathaway, the actor, were seated next to each other in the front row of the Michael Kors show.
There are highlights from the Spring-Summer 2023 shows in New York.
Wintour was dressed in her signature look, with a pair of dark sunglasses skewing her eyes and her quintessential blonde bob, but Hathaway’s outfit looked equally familiar. She wore a black knitted turtleneck, chestnut brown leather coat, and her hair in a high ponytail that was styled with a blunt fringe, like her character in “The Devil Wears Prada.”

The movie, based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel by the same name, chronicles the trials and tribulations of Sachs as she clumsily moves through the highest levels of the fashion industry in pursuit of a career in journalism. She briefly becomes the mistreated personal assistant to Miranda Priestly, a character widely acknowledged to be inspired by Wintour herself.
“The Devil Wears Prada” is considered to be one of the most entertaining exposés on the absurdity of the industry, 17 years later. The internet quickly grabbed on to the fact that the film’s muse in an outfit that seemed lifted out of her character’s wardrobe sat shoulder-to- shoulder with the film’s lead. Diet Prada wrote a post that was liked by more than a quarter of a million people.
The image of her character in the movie “The Devil Wears Prada” was very similar to hers. IMBD.
But this isn’t the first time Hathaway has engineered a self-referential fashion moment. The actor has starred in a slew of films that have become pop culture relics: Including her stint as introverted teen-turned-princess Mia Thermopolis in “The Princess Diaries” franchise (2001-2004). At Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, Hathaway’s ethereal Armani Privé column dress worn to the red carpet screening of “Armageddon Time” went viral for its likeness to the regal attire often worn by her character as the Princess of Genovia.

The exquisitely meta meeting of Hathaway and Wintour is the perfect conclusion to New York Fashion Week — an event that was back and bigger than ever this season, after February shows were scuppered by ongoing Covid-19 restrictions. So uncanny is the glamorous paparazzi shot, you can almost hear Priestly’s haunting words whispered through her infamously pursed lips: “Everybody wants this. Everybody wants to be us.”
