Supermodel Coco Rocha recently showcased her unique approach to arriving at a film premiere while wearing an extravagant gown designed by Christian Siriano. The 37-year-old model took to Instagram to share a humorous video that documented her experience of using public transportation to transport her oversized, furry ball gown to the much-anticipated premiere of *The Devil Wears Prada 2* in New York City.

The video, posted on April 23, captures a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Rocha’s pre-premiere routine, including a hectic schedule that culminated in a last-minute scramble to make it to the event. The gown featured a striking black-and-white polka-dot pattern, perfectly crafted for the glamorous occasion. In the video, a curious bystander at the train station asked Rocha if she was heading out for a dance, to which she cheerfully responded, “Going to a movie.”
As the video unfolds, Rocha shares the frantic energy of her preparations, set to the upbeat tune of Madonna’s “Vogue.” Viewers can see makeup artists and hairstylists working diligently on Rocha’s look before she transitions into her stunning gown. The model humorously recounted that her arrival was nearly derailed when a zipper malfunction necessitated an emergency sewing session, leaving her “sewn and safety-pinned” into the elaborate dress just moments before stepping onto the red carpet.
In her Instagram caption, Rocha conveyed the madness of the evening: “Follow me for the chaos of #TheDevilWearsPrada2 premiere. Taught @cocorochamodelcamp all day, sprinted to the train (the only way I was making Manhattan on time), emergency stop at @csiriano because my zipper fully gave up on me… quick sew, deep breath, straight to the red carpet. All in under an hour. No notes. Pure madness!”
The sequel to the original 2006 film *The Devil Wears Prada*, which became a cultural phenomenon, highlights the challenges faced by the beloved character Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep. The narrative follows Priestly as she adapts to the changing landscape of the fashion industry, particularly amidst the decline of traditional magazine publishing. It also sees her confront the evolving power dynamics with Emily Blunt’s character, who has now ascended to a high-ranking position within a luxury brand.
This premiere saw a stunning array of fashion from both returning and new cast members. Meryl Streep, now 76, embraced her iconic role by donning a striking red cape coat from Givenchy’s Fall 2026 collection, complemented by black leather opera gloves and oversized black glasses. The elegant ensemble harkened back to the character’s status as a formidable figure in the fashion world.
Anne Hathaway, who played the lead role of Andrea “Andy” Sachs in the original film, also graced the red carpet wearing a custom red satin gown from Louis Vuitton. The striking creation, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, featured a well-fitted bodice with a sweetheart neckline that flared into a voluminous tea-length skirt. Her appearance was notably timely as the same day, she was featured on the cover of PEOPLE’s annual World’s Most Beautiful issue.
In a reflective moment during the premiere, Hathaway expressed her joy at returning to the world of *The Devil Wears Prada*. She described the experience of revisiting the film’s universe as beautiful and joyful, expressing a desire to relive the moments with the original cast, albeit with newfound perspective.
As excitement builds for the release of *The Devil Wears Prada 2* on May 1, the film promises to deliver both the charm and tension that fans have come to adore. With Rocha’s lively depiction of her whirlwind journey to the premiere, it’s clear that the excitement surrounding the film extends far beyond just its narrative, showcasing the dazzling spectacle of fashion and celebrity that defines the event.
