The actress was accompanied by Stanley Tucci, Simone Ashley, Ashley Graham, and Ciara. The cast dazzled in haute couture, bringing the fashion extravaganza to life on screen, according to Money Control.
The choice of the Museum of Natural History as the location for this scene offers an unexpected but lavish backdrop.
It perfectly captures the prestige and theatricality of the Met Gala, one of the world’s most exclusive fashion events.
This setting reflects the sequel’s aim to match, if not surpass, the drama and style of the original 2006 film. The first film has a strong following, including in South Africa.
RETURNING CAST
Fans were thrilled to see Stanley Tucci back as Nigel, suggesting that the sequel honours the original story. It will also introduce fresh faces like Simone Ashley.
A source close to the production said, “Meryl’s presence immediately lights up any scene. Her performance as Miranda Priestly embodies power and grace.”
The Met Gala scene is expected to be a cinematic highlight. It will showcase Miranda negotiating challenges in a digital age fashion industry marked by rivalries and shifting power dynamics.
CELEBRITY FASHION
Anna Wintour established the Met Gala as a charitable fashion event in 1995, and it has since become a global spectacle. It is an event that is synonymous with glamour and high stakes.
This connection adds authenticity to the film’s depiction, likely resonating well with fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
