My March In Style arrived and gorgeous Anne Hathaway was on the cover. I think she is such a classic beauty, and I absolutely loved her in “The Devil Wears Prada.” Here are some of the shots of the In Style shots, and some fun trivia about “Prada.” Hope you have a fantastic Friday friends!
–The book that Miranda asks Andy to retrieve for her twin daughters is Harry Potter Book 7. One of the prop books used in the movie sold in an on line auction for $586.00 and proceeds went to Dress for Success, a non-profit organization that assists more than 45,000 disadvantaged women each year as they transition into the workforce.
–A ‘Runway’ issue is displayed behind Emily’s desk, next to the fax machine. It features a cover with three models. It is based on the real cover of VOGUE August 2004 issue, featuring Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough.
–Helen Mirren and Kim Basinger were considered for the role of Miranda Priestly.
–Gisele Bündchen agreed to be in the movie only if she didn’t play a model. Stanley Tucci was one of the last actors cast. Daniel Sunjata had originally read for Tucci’s part, rather unenthusiastically since he had just finished playing a similar character, but then read the Holt part and asked if he could audition for it. Simon Baker auditioned by sending a video of himself, wearing the same self-designed green jacket he has on when he and Andrea meet for the first time.
–The idea of having Miranda appear without any make-up in the scene where she opens up to Andrea and worries about the effect of her divorce’s public disclosure on her daughters was Meryl Streep’s idea.
–The recurrent need for Hermès scarves comes from the novel as in the novel it is Miranda’s trademark that she always has a white Hermès scarf somewhere on her person.
–Anna Wintour, the formidable editor of Vogue (and the rumored inspiration for Miranda Priestly), was not invited to the premiere. She did however attend an advance screening for the press (dressed, head-to-toe, in Prada.)
–Emily Blunt was cast before Anne Hathaway. In several scenes, she is seen running about in the background – though never written or directed, she felt her character would always be busy and wanted to keep her alive in the film. Also, most of her wardrobe is from Vivienne Westwood.
–Anna Wintour, the powerful Vogue editor on whom Streep’s character was widely believed to be based in the novel (Weisberger once worked as her assistant), reportedly warned major fashion designers who had been invited to make cameo appearances as themselves in the film that they would be banished from the magazine’s pages if they did so. Wintour’s spokespeople deny this claim; however, it is notable that Vogue and other major women’s and fashion magazines have avoided reviewing or even mentioning the book in their pages.

I adore this movie, Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep & of course Emily Blunt. I watch this movie everytime it’s on. Anne Hathaway is such a versatile actress & really gets into the role. I still can’t believe she was the Princess Diaries girl!! Hopefully she’ll do good in the new Alice in Wonderland too! =)
