Biggs did not miss a beat in engaging with some of Hollywood’s biggest names, including Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci, who returned to their iconic roles from the original 2006 film. Hathaway, who reprises her role as aspiring journalist Andrea Sachs, showcased her stunning style and enthusiasm for the upcoming release while sharing her experience on the red carpet.
Dressed in a fashionable white pant suit adorned with floral appliqués and gold buttons, Biggs complemented her outfit with striking red-framed glasses and a dramatic hairpiece styled into an oversized bow. Her vibrant personality resonated with attendees, making her not just a host but also a highlight of the evening.
In her interviews, Biggs captured the spirit of the event, with her outgoing interactions leading to viral moments on social media. Hathaway, reflecting on her recent recognition as PEOPLE’s 2026 World’s Most Beautiful cover star, expressed her disbelief at the honour. “It’s still surreal,” she remarked to Biggs, adding with a smile, “Today is the first day. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it… It was such a fun day.”
Stanley Tucci, known for his role as the culinary expert Nigel, also had light-hearted moments on the carpet. When asked about Hathaway’s playful comment labelling him the “diva” of the set, Tucci responded warmly, acknowledging her words with a good-natured humour. “I’m awful. Just terrible,” he joked, before Biggs assured him that being a diva is simply a sign of confidence, to which he agreed.
Another standout from the evening was Simone Ashley, who plays the role of Amari, Miranda Priestly’s sharp and stylish assistant. In her conversation with Biggs, Ashley described her character as having a quiet confidence, offering a contrast to Hathaway’s Andrea. “Let’s say Amari is a black cat and maybe Andy is a Labrador,” Ashley quipped, highlighting their differing personalities.
Supermodel Heidi Klum added her own flair to the night, arriving in a flowing teal dress. Klum reminisced with Biggs about her most memorable wardrobe malfunction at a previous event when her outfit unexpectedly tore in transit. “I had to hold it and pray it doesn’t fall off,” she recalled, eliciting laughter with her storytelling.
Kenneth Branagh, who plays Streep’s character’s husband in the sequel, described his collaborative experience working with the legendary actress during filming. He praised Streep for her preparation and dedication, saying, “She was totally prepared. She knows everything.” His admiration for Streep as a performer was clear, emphasising the joy he experienced while filming together.
The evening also featured appearances from twin brothers Dylan and Barbara Sprouse, who captured the attention of fans with their chemistry on the red carpet. The duo playfully recited their favourite line from the original film, “Groundbreaking”, which they clearly enjoy sharing with audiences.
Costume designer Molly Rogers, responsible for the film’s stylish wardrobe, showcased her creativity in crafting a pivotal scene that involved a faux Met Gala. Although lacking a theme like the real-life event, she aimed for a runway gala atmosphere that would elevate the film’s grandeur. Reflecting on the creative process, she remarked, “It’s one of the biggest scenes!”
As the night unfolded at the Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall, the excitement surrounding *The Devil Wears Prada 2* was palpable. Taylen Biggs not only made headlines with her charismatic hosting but also encapsulated the essence of the event, ensuring that fashion and camaraderie took centre stage as the stars celebrated the film’s premiere.
