Anne Hathaway Falls on the Set of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' — Photos

Fans were left gasping as the Oscar-winning actress FELL mid-scene in towering heels, then got up SMILING with a BAGEL in hand!

In a heart-stopping moment on the set of the much-anticipated "The Devil Wears Prada 2," beloved star Anne Hathaway was caught on camera plunging down a house's front steps. The clip of the incident circulated online, with fans sharing their concerns.

The 42-year-old actress, reprising her iconic role as Andy Sachs nearly two decades after the original, had fans clutching their pearls when she took a tumble while filming a scene in New York. The culprit? A snapped heel — the kind of fashion emergency that even Miranda Priestly might forgive.

Photos from the moment show the actress dressed to kill in a sleek black pleated skirt, plaid sheer top, and those now-infamous towering black heels, as she stepped outside with a bagel in one hand and a white handkerchief in the other, until disaster struck.

Down She Went – But With Diva Grace

In a sequence that would rattle any actress, Hathaway tripped and landed awkwardly on the steps, prompting an audible gasp from the crew. But true to form, the star rose up with elegance, one hand still clutching her half-eaten bagel, the other helping her to her feet.

Crew members rushed to her side, only to be embraced in a warm hug by the actress who proved once again why she's Hollywood royalty. Cameras kept rolling, but it remains unclear if the jaw-dropping moment was scripted or a genuine misstep.

And as expected, the internet exploded.

Internet in Meltdown Over Hathaway's Fall

The moment quickly spread online, sparking concern and admiration among fans. One admirer gushed over her poise, "Gracious even when falling #diva." Another person wondered, "Why does she look good even when she falls?" More people echoed this sentiment, "How come does she still look gorgeous while falling down?"

Some viewers fixated on the possible pain of the slip. A concerned voice noted, "That looks painful, but she took it like a champ!" while someone else focused on the moment her leg hit the steps, saying, "Oh, that leg. Ouch."

Shock rippled through others, with one fan exclaiming, "😮 good heavens?she could’ve broken her leg [sic]." Another person added a sympathetic take, "Ouch!!! Hope she’s ok, damn. She’s gonna be a little sore." And one comment summed up the collective reaction perfectly, "My stomach dropped, I would be in so much pain."

A Stellar Return to the Fashion Frontlines

Snippets from the filming of "The Devil Wears Prada 2" have fans eagerly anticipating its release on May 1, 2026. While the studio has kept plot details under wraps, reports suggest the story will center on Runway's formidable editor-in-chief, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, as she grapples with the decline of traditional magazine publishing.

This time, she goes head-to-head with Emily Blunt's character, her former assistant who has risen to become a powerful executive at a luxury group, holding the advertising dollars Priestly desperately needs.

Several familiar faces from the 2006 original will also return. Tracie Thoms is back as Lily, Andy Sachs' handbag-obsessed best friend, and Tibor Feldman will reprise his role as Irv Ravitz, hairman of Elias-Clark, Runway's parent company.

The sequel reunites the film's core cast, Streep, Anne Hathaway, Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, while expanding the ensemble with new additions. Among them are Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet, along with Broadway talents Helen J. Shen and Conrad Ricamora, plus comedian Caleb Hearon.

Behind the camera, the dream team has reunited, with David Frankel directing, Aline Brosh McKenna penning the script, and Wendy Finerman producing what's poised to be another cinematic fashion frenzy. Meanwhile, Karen Rosenfelt and McKenna will serve as executive producers.

Inspired by Lauren Weisberger’s best-selling roman à clef and her real-life stint under Vogue's Anna Wintour, the first film raked in over $326 million globally and earned Streep a coveted Oscar nomination.

With the sequel on the way, Hathaway has found herself back in the spotlight. She dazzled at the 2025 Met Gala — and in true Hollywood fashion, her breathtaking appearance unleashed a torrent of whispers, admiration, and suspicion online.

The actress arrived at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5 in a custom Carolina Herrera masterpiece, designed exclusively for the gala's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."

Dazzling Outfit and Timeless Glamour

Hathaway's show-stopping ensemble — a crisp white shirt paired with a studded striped column skirt — proved she hadn't lost her touch as a red-carpet darling.

A prominent gemstone necklace added flair, while a voluminous ponytail styled with a headband and a pop of pink lipstick completed the retro-inspired look.

Hathaway later shared her appreciation on Instagram, thanking Wintour, the Met staff, and designer Wes Gordon for the evening.

She also reflected on the theme, highlighting the friendship between Andre Leon Talley and Carolina Herrera, and called the experience "unforgettable," especially with performances by Usher and Stevie Wonder. Hathaway also encouraged followers to visit the "Superfine" exhibit, describing it as "unmissable."

'How Is She Aging Backwards' Fans Ask

Despite the praise for her outfit, much of the attention online centered on her face. On Instagram and X, fans quickly began speculating about possible cosmetic enhancements.

One remarked, "When is he gonna ask 'who is your surgeon' ? I'd like to know how much $$$ I need to rob for an appointment [sic]," while another simply wrote, "She looks young."

One person suggested, "Whoa she really got some obvious work done on her upper face. Maybe brow lift. She's trying to distract/cover up with pulled back hair [sic]." Others questioned, "How is she aging backwards?" and commented, "Plastic surgery itself."

Still, admiration poured in. One netizen gushed, "What a woman! 🔥" and someone else exclaimed, "Perfection."

The debate around Hathaway's appearance turned her Met Gala night into more than just a fashion moment — it became a flashpoint in Hollywood's ongoing conversation about beauty, age, and authenticity.
