Amid mounting excitement for The Devil Wears Prada 2, a throwback information scene from the movie unexpectedly caught people’s eyes. Actress Anne Hathaway is said to have expressed her concerns during filming about how models were portrayed and, in a way, asked the producers to refrain from dressing extremely skinny models. Her fellow star, Meryl Streep, who is back as Miranda Priestly, discussed the episode in her recent chat with Harper’s Bazaar.

In the course of filming parts related to fashion shows, the cast was seen running to events that were the reflection of runway settings, including those that had the feel of Milan Fashion Week. Meryl Streep said that it struck her how many models looked very young and extremely thin, which made her a bit uneasy.
She said Anne Hathaway also saw this and went on to confront the matter. To put it in Meryl Streep’s words, Anne Hathaway made a move on the production team and put forward the idea of rethinking the film’s possible endorsement of unreal and unhealthy body standards.
Meryl Streep went on to say that Hathaway didn’t just stop at her request but made sure the group would support the depiction of models in a more balanced and responsible way in the movie. She commended Hathaway for being proactive and loyal to her concerns.
Meryl Streep Praises Her Co-StarMeryl Streep commended Hathaway for her boldness to call the things out she was talking about. Besides standing up for herself, she told the world she is aware and that she assumes responsibility, which is an especially daunting thing to do in an industry notoriously known for setting the most unattainable beauty standards.
She also said that since body image issues have been a major topic globally, she was very surprised when it happened. To put an end to the problem during the filming, I understand it was Hathaway’s step that Steve really stood behind.
