Needless to say, there are a lot. “Anna, just curious…what do you think of my clothes tonight?” The Queen Wears Prada.) If you’re wondering if you’ve ever imagined something so subtle TDWP Reference, Wintour then said “Thank you, Emily” to Hathaway, so…yeah, you’re right! (FYI, Wintour’s real assistant Emily was also on set at Dolby.)
Wintour wore Dior, while Hathaway wore a Valentino gown in a touching tribute to the recently deceased designer. Hathaway was very close to Valentino, attending his funeral in Rome in January (alongside Wintour) and writing on Instagram shortly after his death: “…he was…my dear, cherished friend who educated me, raised me, sent me flowers every year on my birthday, made me laugh, was my partner in many joyful nights dancing and singing karaoke, and who made my world brighter, grander and more enjoyable than I could have ever imagined.”
