What Did We Love about Anne Hathaway’s style?

For the 2026 Devil Wears Prada New York premiere, Hathaway chose red once again. This time in a dramatic sculptural gown designed by Nicholas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton, with a corset bodice shaped to resemble devil horns, paired with matching shoes and stunning ruby and diamond jewellery. Equal parts fashion statement and cinematic nod, it was an entrance that earned every headline.

She kept her hair styled in a sleek, polished updo that let the architectural gown do the talking. Structured enough to feel intentional, refined enough to feel effortless. Clean lines, zero flyaways, and the kind of finish that looks deceptively simple but takes real skill to achieve.

How to get the look: A sleek updo hairstyle lives or dies by how smooth the base is. At Sloans, we’d reach for L’Oréal Professionnel Liss Unlimited Serum to tame any hair texture before styling, followed by a firm-hold finishing spray to lock the shape in place. The result? That glossy hair, red-carpet-ready finish that lasts all night.

What Did We Love about Meryl Streep’s style?

Meryl arrived in a red leather cape by Sarah Burton for Givenchy. Complete with black gloves and oversized black sunglasses- a deliberate, knowing nod to Anna. Bold, theatrical, and completely unbothered. Miranda Priestly would approve.

Meryl’s signature white hair has become one of the most iconic looks in Hollywood and at the premiere. It was styled with complete confidence. Softly set, luminous, and immaculately presented, it framed the dramatic cape perfectly without competing with it.

How to get the look: White and silver hair needs serious care to stay bright and avoid brassiness. At Sloans, we’d recommend Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumière Shampoo. This purple-toned treatment shampoo neutralises yellow tones and keeps white and silver hair looking crisp, bright, and luminous.

What Did We Love about Emily Blunt’s style?

Emily Blunt arrived to the Devil Wears Prada premiere in a couture creation by Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli, taken directly from his Spring 2026 couture runway. Sculptural, unexpected, and unmistakably fashion, exactly what you’d expect from Emily.

Her look leaned into soft, polished elegance, with hair that complemented the drama of the Schiaparelli gown rather than competing with it. Smooth, glossy, and beautifully finished, it’s the kind of style that reads as effortless but requires real product knowledge to execute.

How to get the look: For that smooth, high-shine finish, we love L’Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil,  a lightweight, non-greasy hair oil that adds incredible luminosity and frizz control without any heaviness.
