"If you'll recall, first assistant Emily (Emily Blunt) mentioned the Italian label when she was sick the day of the benefit. She said, "I refuse to be sick. I'm wearing Valentino, for crying out loud." The designer himself, Valentino Garavani, also made an appearance in the movie. Andy and Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) watched his fictional show during the Paris Fashion Week scene, and headed backstage to meet with him. That was the moment Hathaway met the designer IRL, too."
"Naturally, to present the night's biggest award, Hathaway was decked out in a gown from the brand, in the label's iconic (and trademarked) color Valentino Red. It featured a fitted ruched torso and wingspan-style panels on the sides and two slinky straps with a bow on each shoulder. The skirt was equipped with its own flair, with three tiers of billowy ruffles, giving it a flowy, free-spirited ethos. She completed the look with matching pointed-toe pumps and diamond-clad jewelry including a bracelet and drop earrings."
Anne Hathaway's role in The Devil Wears Prada launched a lasting relationship with Valentino. Emily's Valentino line reference and a Valentino cameo in the film marked an initial connection. Hathaway met Valentino Garavani backstage during the film's Paris Fashion Week scene. Valentino later designed Hathaway's 2012 wedding dress. On Oct. 28 at the WWD Honors event, Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti received the John B. Fairchild Honor for their decades-long contributions to fashion. Hathaway presented the award wearing an archival Valentino Red gown featuring a ruched torso, wingspan-style panels, slinky straps with bows, and three tiers of billowy ruffles, completed with pointed-toe pumps and diamond jewelry.
