Anne Hathaway is well aware of the excitement fans feel about the upcoming sequel of her cult-classic film The Devil Wears Prada—as well as of the pressure and responsibility that comes with making it—which is why she made sure to speak her mind when it came to details she found important about the movie.
Speaking with Harper’s Bazaar for Hathaway’s new cover story, the iconic Meryl Streep (who plays the editor in chief of prestigious fashion magazine Runway in the films) pointed out that Hathaway spoke to producers to make sure that the models featured in the sequel represented healthy and natural bodies.
Streep particularly recalled the moment when she, Hathaway, and their co-stars attended actual fashion shows during Milan Fashion Week last year while filming. They all sat front row, and Streep said she was instantly “struck by how not only beautiful and young—everyone seems young to me—but alarmingly thin the models were. … I thought that all had been addressed years ago. Annie clocked it too.” Streep added, “and she made a beeline to the producers about it, securing promises that the models in the show that we were putting together for our film would not be so skeletal! She’s a stand-up girl.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Hathaway spoke about her own struggles with beauty, aging, and body image, and how she has come to be happy in her body at age 43. “Some days you look in the mirror and you’re just like, ‘Not bad.’ And some days you look in the mirror and you’re like, ‘What?’” she said candidly, adding, “When I was expecting to see something that I am not, I felt insecure. But when I actually looked at what it actually is, I was okay with it.”
