Meryl sweetly wrapped her arm around Anne for the photo. Meryl looked chic in a sparkly sweater and black pants. Anne, making Miranda proud, slayed in a low-cut green and silver Versace dress. The sparkling gown had a ’70s-style pattern and was adorned with green lace.

Despite Anne being the only person who could have truly played Andy Sachs, she actually wasn’t the top choice for the role at first. According to EW’s oral history of the film, which was published in 2021, Rachel McAdams was offered the role three times and declined.
While The Devil Wears Prada team wanted Anne, the studio wouldn’t move forward. It wasn’t until Meryl stepped in that Anne got the role.
“Meryl was eager to make the movie, and she said, ‘Let me meet with her,’” director David Frankel said. Annie had a wonderful, small role in that.
Anne and Meryl have reunited on red carpets a number of times since The Devil Wears Prada, including at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in 2009 and 2014 Oscars.
