Anne Hathaway has paid tribute to her iconic film, The Devil Wears Pradain her cerulean blue dress at the 2024 SAG Awards.
The 41-year-old actress walked the red carpet at the event on February 24, wearing a blue off-the-shoulder dress with a plunging neckline, oversized belt, and a slit. She paired her look with a silver necklace and a matching silver bag. The actress was also a presenter at the awards ceremony, where she met with her co-stars from The Devil Wears PradaMeryl Streep and Emily Blunt.
During an interview with Laverne Cox for MY! Live news from the red carpetHathaway talked about how her dress was an archival Versace from 2018, before hinting at a moment from her 2006 film.
More specifically, he looked at her dress and asked, “What color would you say this is?” In response, Cox said, “Cerulean,” before Hathaway responded, “I agree.”
The dress refers to a scene from The Devil Wears Prada, where Hathaway's character, Andy Sachs, discovers that he's wearing a sweater that's not just blue, but a more specific shade called cerulean. She learns this from her diabolical boss, magazine editor Miranda Priestly (played by Streep), while she was criticizing Andy for saying that two blue belts looked “exactly the same.”
On X, formerly known as Twitter, fans praised Hathaway's outfit, with jokes about the color of the dress and references to The Devil Wears Prada.
“But what you don't know, Anne Hathaway, is that that dress isn't just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis lazuli, it's actually cerulean,” one wrote.
“Anne Hathaway in a belted cerulean dress in honor of the iconic The Devil Wears Prada scene?! Incredible, without notes,” added another.
“Anne Hathaway in blue is world-class theater kid energy,” joked a third.
While speaking with Cox on the red carpet, Hathaway also talked about meeting Streep and Emily Blunt during the awards ceremony and how the opportunity came about.
“I'm delighted,” she said. “It's just been amazing to watch the way [the movie] has grown over the decades. So yeah, Meryl was the one who said, 'Do you think you can make it to the SAG Awards?' And I thought, 'I would do anything to be there.'”

While presenting the award for Best Male Comedy Actor, Streep was the first of the trio to go on stage, where she expressed that she had forgotten both her glasses and the envelope with the winner's name. From there, Blunt appeared on stage with the envelope and Hathaway arrived with Streep's glasses.
When Streep asked “where the character ends and the actor begins,” Blunt interjected to refer to The Devil Wears Prada. “Well, as we just saw, Meryl and Miranda Priestly are like twins, right?” Blunt said.
Since Streep disagreed with that statement, Hathaway hilariously responded with one of Miranda's lines in the film, saying, “No, no, that wasn't a question.” Streep was jokingly surprised by Hathaway's response, before Blunt joked about how long the Mama Mia! Star was taking a while to open the envelope.
More specifically, Blunt said another of Miranda's iconic lines: “Of course, move at a glacial pace. You know how that excites me.”
