Anna Wintour and Anne Hathaway Share a Perfect ‘Devil Wears Prada’ Moment at the Oscars
By Alexus Mosley
Fashion met film in the most fitting way at the Academy Awards when Anna Wintour and Anne Hathaway took the stage to present the award for Best Costume Design.
Before announcing the nominees, Hathaway turned to Wintour and asked if she would like to do the honors.
Wintour’s response? A small but unmistakable gesture that instantly had fashion fans smiling.
The legendary editor calmly slipped on her signature sunglasses before stepping up to the microphone, a moment that felt like a playful wink to The Devil Wears Prada, the beloved 2006 film starring Hathaway as aspiring journalist Andy Sachs.
Of course, the connection between the film and Wintour runs deeper than a simple onstage joke. The movie’s iconic editor-in-chief character, Miranda Priestly (played memorably by Meryl Streep), was widely believed to be inspired by Wintour herself. So seeing Hathaway and Wintour share the stage at the Oscars, complete with sunglasses and impeccable timing, felt like a full-circle pop culture moment.
For fashion lovers and film fans alike, it was a small but delightful highlight of the night.
