- Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway attended The Devil Wears Prada 2 gala in London.
- Hathaway wore a striped strapless Louis Vuitton gown, while Blunt opted for a sheer black minidress.
- Both looks incorporated elements seen across the spring/summer 2026 runways.
Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway didn’t stop at one look in London. After walking the red carpet for The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere, both actresses changed into second outfits for the evening’s “A Night With Runway” gala. Each took a different, runway-driven approach to evening wear while remaining complementary in matching black looks.
Hathaway’s gala dress was a strapless black-and-gray striped Louis Vuitton gown. The bodice was closely fitted with a sweetheart neckline, while the skirt opened into a dramatic, sculptural overskirt layered over a slimmer base. She kept the styling minimal, finishing the outfit with black pointed-toe heels and a diamond Bulgari choker.
It’s a choice with momentum behind it, as stripes have been showing up across recent runways. Designers like Dries Van Noten and Dolce & Gabbana have incorporated the bold pattern into their spring/summer 2026 collections.

Blunt, meanwhile, changed into a sheer minidress with long sleeves, a fitted bodice, and subtle volume at the hips. Styled with sheer tights and platform heels, the look focused on texture rather than print.
Sheer fabrics have continued to evolve this season, with designers like Chanel, Valentino, and Tory Burch leaning into layered, more wearable interpretations. Blunt’s outfit follows that direction, balancing transparency with structure.
