Anne Hathaway, renowned actress and style icon, recently unveiled her stunning red carpet ensemble for the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards, drawing inspiration from one of her most beloved films, “The Devil Wears Prada.” Collaborating with star stylist Erin Walsh and iconic design house Versace, Hathaway channeled the essence of her character in the film, creating a look that seamlessly merged contemporary elegance with nostalgic charm.
Just hours before gracing the red carpet, Hathaway was spotted at the debut of Versace’s latest collection in Milan, donning a striking red leather dress that echoed the dynamic designs of Donatella Versace for fall/winter 2024. However, Hathaway swiftly transitioned from the fashion capital to Los Angeles, where she would join her former co-stars Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt onstage at the Shrine Auditorium.
Embracing the reunion with her “The Devil Wears Prada” colleagues, Hathaway and Walsh sought to pay homage to the iconic film through their red carpet look. Drawing inspiration from one of the movie’s most memorable scenes, Hathaway’s gown featured a vibrant cerulean blue hue reminiscent of Streep’s character’s iconic style lecture. Collaborating closely with Donatella Versace, the gown seamlessly blended elements of a 2018 design from the Versace archives with the distinctive blue shade, creating a visually impactful yet body-friendly ensemble.
Reflecting on the practical considerations behind her red carpet look, Hathaway highlighted the need for a visually striking yet comfortable outfit, given the whirlwind journey from Milan to Los Angeles. With fittings and construction taking place in Versace’s Milan workrooms, the gown was meticulously crafted to perfection before accompanying both the actress and stylist on their return to L.A.
Adding an extra touch of glamour to her ensemble, Hathaway accessorized with dazzling jewelry from Bulgari, including a high-jewelry Serpenti necklace, earrings, bracelet, and a high-jewelry ring adorned with diamonds and a stunning sapphire. Completing the look with elegant heels by Gianvito Rossi, Hathaway radiated confidence and sophistication on the red carpet.
Hathaway’s collaboration with Walsh extends beyond fashion, with the duo sharing a deep bond and mutual admiration for each other’s creativity and professionalism. For Hathaway, working with Walsh is a joyous experience marked by trust, creativity, and unwavering support, resulting in unforgettable red carpet moments that exude love and joy.
In Hathaway’s own words, her SAG Awards look not only made her feel special but also brought a smile to her face—a testament to the power of fashion to evoke emotions and celebrate iconic cinematic moments.
