Meryl Streep Reveals Anne Hathaway's Stand Against 'Skeletal' Models
"I was struck by how not only beautiful and young, everyone seems young to me, but alarmingly thin the models were. I thought that all had been addressed years ago."
"Annie clocked it too, and 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."
"We needed police barriers and crowd control. Buses of fans turned up, and paparazzi swarmed and in one case kept jumping in front of the camera and the shot and got in a kerfuffle with crew!"
"Hathaway has spoken publicly over the years about body image pressures and the scrutiny placed on women's appearances."
Meryl Streep revealed that Anne Hathaway challenged producers of The Devil Wears Prada 2 regarding the use of alarmingly thin models after witnessing them at Milan Fashion Week. Hathaway quickly approached the producers to secure promises that the film would not feature such skeletal models. Streep expressed her surprise at the continued prevalence of thinness in the fashion industry. The sequel, set for release on 1 May 2026, reunites the original cast and was filmed during real runway shows, attracting significant media attention.
