Costume Designer Molly Rogers Breaks Down The Devil Wears Prada 2's Biggest Fashion Moments
4/23/202650 min
One of the first things costume designer Molly Rogers thought about after she finished reading the script for the Devil Wears Prada 2: Where was Andy’s blue cerulean sweater?
“It was the first phone call I made to the archives out at the studio,” says Rogers, who spoke to Alice Newbold, Fashion Features & News Director, British Vogue.
“Stuff disappears. You finish a movie, all of the clothes go to the lot where other productions can rent them.” says Rogers. But she was able to secure the original sweater, “and it still had the corn chowder stain on it.”
Rogers says it was Anne Hathaway who grabbed the scissors and made the alterations to turn the beloved sweater into a vest.
Rogers shares all the secrets behind the film's biggest fashion moments, including those rock stud pumps. Plus, Chloe and Nicole talk Met Gala prep, the new Victoria Beckham and Gap collaboration, and Cecilie Bahnsen's Uniqlo collab.

I feel like everyone's come out of winter hibernation, um- Even though the temps remain chilly. The temps do remain chilly, but we're starting to see our gala season has commenced. I went to the black tie Tiffany Gala last week, and I was like, oof, having to, like, multiple black tie dress codes is, it's a, it's a tall order. But, um, we wanna talk about- The Devil Wears Prada 2.
