At the beginning of the original The Devil Wears Prada film, Anne Hathaway’s character Andy Sachs strolls into the hallowed halls of Runway magazine looking like an outsider. But when she decides to make the most of the challenge and prove herself, she emerges like a fashion girl butterfly in an all-Chanel outfit, topped off with a set of fresh long, brow-brushing bangs. “You look good,” says Gisele Bündchen’s character, and she does! Andy and her bangs are ready to take on the fashion world.
Now, Andy is back onscreen in the much-anticipated sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2, and while she doesn’t have bangs in the movie—at least judging from the various trailers we’ve seen so far—she sure did on the red carpet in Japan! Hathaway revisited the DWP bangs for the Tokyo premiere and suddenly, it’s 2006 all over again.
Hathaway’s hairstylist Orlando Pita revived Andy’s fringe with a set of long, full bangs that fell past her brows, nearly touching her lashes, framed by short, face-framing layers that skimmed her jawline. The rest of her hair was pulled into a swingy high ponytail, which gave the bangs plenty of space to shine and also showed off her ruffled, strapless Valentino Couture gown.
The The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour is just getting started; Hathaway and co-star Meryl Streep (a.k.a. Miranda Priestly) kicked things off in Mexico City last week, with a bang-less Hathaway wearing a devilishly chic red-tipped French manicure.
If seeing Hathaway in this throwback fringe has ignited the “Should I get bangs?” craving in you, well, we get it. The best bangs of 2026 are bold and vibrant, made to stand out in a crowd, and her full, Andy Sachs fringe is right on trend. While there probably won’t big a big makeover montage in the DWP sequel, there’s nothing like a fresh set of fringe to make you feel like a brand-new person.
