Anne Hathaway recently posted the first trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 on Instagram, featuring her character wearing red-studded Rockstud stilettos from Valentino in 2010. The shoes have become the focus of a heated debate among fashion enthusiasts, with many criticizing Miranda Priestly's choice as outdated and unfashionable.
The trailer has sparked a wider trend of online debate after the release of trailers or on-set images from films and TV shows that have a significant fashion angle. Fans have been quick to weigh in, with some describing the shoes as "fashion murder" and expressing outrage over seemingly minor details such as the shade of blond of the actress playing Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's hair.
However, not everyone shares this sentiment. Julia Hobbs, a senior contributing fashion features editor at Vogue, believes that Rockstud shoes are due for a revival. She notes that in her opinion, there is something deeply nostalgic about them, and if anyone can kickstart a shoe trend, it's Miranda Priestly.
Hobbs' comments suggest that the film's costume choices may not be entirely intended to spark controversy. Rather, they may be designed to generate buzz and create a sense of excitement around the upcoming release. With the Rockstud shoes being touted as "vintage," it's possible that their popularity could experience a resurgence in the coming years.
Ultimately, whether or not Miranda Priestly's choice will prove to be a fashion disaster remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain β the film's costume design has sparked an online debate that shows just how passionate fans can be about fashion in film and TV.
