Anne Hathaway is back on set for the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, and her off-camera style hints at a major evolution for her iconic character, Andy Sachs. While the original film showed Andy trading her practical loafers for glamorous stilettos and the infamous Chanel thigh-high boots, the actor’s latest street style look confirms that comfort and chic now go hand-in-hand.

Trading Heels for Luxury Comfort

Hathaway was photographed in New York City wearing a decidedly relaxed, yet high-fashion, look that is far more “Anne” than 2006 “Andy.” Her outfit featured a white Toteme tank layered under a black waistcoat, paired with a light-wash denim maxi skirt from Agolde.

The biggest style change, however, was on her feet. Instead of the sky-high heels of a Runway employee, Hathaway opted for the luxury market’s answer to orthopedic footwear: Chanel Velcro Dad Sandals. This choice reflects a massive shift in fashion trends, where comfort no longer means sacrificing style—a lesson the new Andy Sachs seems to have fully absorbed.

The New Andy Sachs Aesthetic

While Hathaway has given fans a sneak peek of the updated Andy Sachs costume—a digital media mogul look featuring pinstripe Jean Paul Gaultier and layers of necklaces—her off-duty style is equally telling. It suggests that the new Andy is less concerned with impractical glamour and more focused on effortlessly combining luxury with a modern, practical edge. We can only hope to hear the fabulous line in the film: “Are you wearing the… Chanel Velcro dad sandals? Yeah, I am.”
