Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway Reunite with Meryl Streep for ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ Anniversary at SAG Awards
The 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards held on February 24, 2024, in Los Angeles, California, witnessed a heartwarming reunion of the cast of the iconic film “The Devil Wears Prada.” Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Anne Hathaway came together to celebrate the 18th anniversary of the movie that took the fashion world by storm. The trio delighted the audience with their playful banter and shared memories from their time on set.
The reunion began with Streep taking the stage alone, but she soon realized she had forgotten her glasses and envelope. Blunt and Hathaway then made a grand entrance, holding the much-needed props. Hathaway looked stunning in a blue Versace dress, while Blunt dazzled in a custom red Louis Vuitton gown.
As the three actors embraced onstage, Streep pondered the age-old question of where the character ends and the actor begins. Blunt playfully compared Streep’s character, Miranda Priestly, to the actress herself, suggesting they were like twins. Streep, however, sheepishly denied any resemblance to her cutthroat character. Hathaway interjected with a witty remark, emphasizing that it wasn’t a question.
The reunion took a humorous turn when Streep struggled to open the envelope containing the winner’s name. Blunt seized the opportunity to reference another iconic line from the film, saying, “By all means, move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.” The trio then announced Jeremy Allen White as the winner of the award for male actor in a comedy series for his role in “The Bear.”
“The Devil Wears Prada” tells the story of Andy Sachs (played by Hathaway), a young co-assistant to Streep’s character at the fictional Runway magazine. Blunt portrays another assistant who competes with Sachs for the attention of the often cruel Streep. The film, which captivated audiences with its sharp dialogue and glamorous fashion, will soon be adapted into a musical in London’s West End, with Vanessa Williams taking on the role of Miranda Priestly.
This year’s SAG Awards marked a significant milestone as it was the first time the ceremony streamed live on Netflix. In addition to the reunion of “The Devil Wears Prada” cast, other winners included Pedro Pascal for “The Last of Us,” Ali Wong for “Beef,” and Ayo Edebiri for “The Bear.” Edebiri, who won the award for female actor in a comedy series, shared her thoughts on what icons like Streep and Oprah might have thought of her speech, stating, “I think they just think, ‘I hope she’s OK.'”
The reunion of Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Anne Hathaway at the SAG Awards was a delightful reminder of the impact “The Devil Wears Prada” had on popular culture. As fans eagerly await the musical adaptation, this reunion served as a nostalgic celebration of a film that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
