With a world premiere theatrical release set for April 29, the in-country red carpet event for the film "The Devil Wears Prada 2" was held successfully last Wednesday, the 8th. Attending the event, Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway lit up the red carpet with affectionate fan service, receiving explosive welcome and enthusiasm from Korean fans.
The red carpet event in Korea attended by Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway for the most anticipated April release, "The Devil Wears Prada 2," was held successfully amid explosive reactions from Korean fans. Before the main red carpet event, attendees on site took part in a "best dresser" selection and an opening fashion show that reinterpreted the film's world through the refined sensibilities and passion for fashion of K-designers, heating up the venue.
Amid the heated atmosphere, Korean fans greeted Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway with passionate cheers, and the two actresses responded by dancing to the music, raising the venue's energy to its peak. Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway captured everyone with legendary fan service, spending time connecting with each Korean fan who came by exchanging honeyed glances and cheerful manners.
Afterward, on the red carpet stage, Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway shared their impressions about being there and answered questions from the audience. Returning as editor Miranda with the same undiminished charisma, Meryl Streep said, "I am truly happy to be able to come to Seoul. Seoul seems to be a really beautiful city. And I sincerely thank you because the fans here are the reason "The Devil Wears Prada 2" could be made," expressing genuine affection.
Anne Hathaway, who returns in the role of Andy appearing somewhat more grown compared with the first film, said, "When I visited eight years ago I also thought Korea was so beautiful, and in the meantime Seoul seems to have grown and become more wonderful. The energy that Seoul has is so amazing," conveying a special feeling that can be felt only in Korea. In the subsequent Q&A segment, the two actresses further raised anticipation for the film with sincere answers.
Asked what she would say if the present-day Andy could call Andy on her first day at the company, Anne Hathaway replied, "I think I would tell her how to spell 'Gabbana'," and when asked whether there is a fashion item of the other's that she envies, Meryl Streep, in a manner very much like Miranda, said with wit, "I envy Andy's red jacket," prompting laughter throughout the venue.
Even while on stage, Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway warmed hearts with exceptional sweetness and love for fans, greeting Korean fans seated upstairs whenever possible. Finally, as confetti shaped like the film's signature "red heel" fluttered down, the group photo session that followed capped the event's finale, leaving precious memories for both the actors and the fans.
Thanks to the red carpet event that brought Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Korean fans together to create a beautiful night and heightened expectations for the film, "The Devil Wears Prada 2" tells the story of Miranda, editor of the legendary fashion magazine "Runway," and Andy, who returns as a planned editor after 20 years, reuniting with Emily, who has become an executive at a luxury brand, and staking her entire career to regain leadership in the fashion world amid a completely changed media environment. It opens worldwide first on Wednesday, April 29.
