Dressed in pinstripes, with phone pressed to her ear as she strides the streets of New York, she is every inch the high-flying executive.
It is a far cry from her slightly scatty image of old (not to mention that infamous ‘cerulean blue’ jumper) – and may give a clue to whatever happened next to Anne Hathaway’s much-loved character in the The Devil Wears Prada.
Anne, 42 is reprising her role as Andrea ‘Andy’ Sachs for the sequel of the hit 2006 movie – which is due out in May.
And if the ending of the original film hinted at a bright future for her character, pictures taken yesterday during filming, appear to confirm it.
Just how she has done in the intervening years is yet to be revealed with the plot of The Devil Wears Prada 2 remaining under wraps.
But it is likely to be, at least in part, inspired by Lauren Weisberger’s sequel to her original novel, Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, which was published in 2013 and continues the story of Andy, who has turned 30, engaged, and working as a magazine editor.

The original lifted the lid on the cut-throat fashion world, and two decades on that world will have changed, not least for Sachs’s domineering boss, Runway editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, played again by Meryl Streep.
The movie is expected to at least reveal her fate, showing her once-all-powerful character dealing with the decline of print industry.
One question is whether she will have retained her icy demeanour. In one scene in the first film, Andy chuckles through an editorial fashion meeting led by Priestly, who then delivers a cutting assessment of her ‘cerulean’ sweater.
‘You think this has nothing to do with you,’ Priestly tells her.
‘You go to your closet, and you select, I don’t know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back, but what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean.’
The scene became iconic and spawned the ‘cerulean blue’ theory of how all styles trickle down from the catwalk.
Anne made a nod to the scene yesterday morning when she posted a clip online wearing a similar sweater with the caption ‘Heading to werk’ [sic] with the hashtag #dwp2.
In the video, Anne is seen hurriedly getting ready, this time brushing her teeth with an electric toothbrush, a modern upgrade from Andy’s manual one in the original film’s memorable job interview scene.
