The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour has commenced and we’re noticing recurring theme in the looks chosen by both Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway: red monochrome. Although red is not a new color trend—ubiquitous on the runway and the latest street style—it feels fresh in the hands of the two actresses, who’ve been promoting their new film in a plethora of modern power sets centered around the vibrant shade.
We’re privy to plenty of method dressing these days for press tours—look no further than Zendaya’s wardrobe for her recent outings for The Drama as confirmation—and although both Hathaway and Streep are subtly nodding to the book cover’s glossy red shoe, it doesn’t mean we can’t take style notes from what they’re doing in real life, especially when it feels so on point with the trend cycles.
One of the biggest lessons to take away from the pair is that texture is key. Whether it’s a sharply cut blazer and trousers, like Meryl Streep’s Dolce & Gabbana moment in Mexico City, expertly styled with an organza bow blouse for interest, or Anne Hathaway’s leather Balenciaga look in Seoul, combining fabrications makes monochrome dressing all the more interesting.
