A recent meeting between Karan Johar, Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway during the Tokyo promotions of The Devil Wears Prada 2 has now created buzz for another reason — Indian fashion designer Manish Malhotra’s couture made its way to two of Hollywood’s most celebrated stars.
During the interaction, Johar presented outfits to Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway on behalf of Manish Malhotra, creating a striking crossover between Indian couture and one of cinema’s most iconic fashion franchises. With anticipation building around the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, the gesture has become a talking point among film and fashion enthusiasts alike.
Sharing his excitement about the moment, Manish Malhotra opened up about his admiration for both actors and his connection with the original film. “Meryl Streep has always been one of my most favourite actors and so is Anne Hathaway. The Devil Wears Prada is a film I’ve truly loved, I’ve watched it multiple times over the years. So it was a real pleasure to share my work with them since these pieces are from my international collection as well,” he said.
The designer also revealed that the looks were thoughtfully chosen to reflect the personalities and public image of both stars. He went on to add, “Elaborating further, he explained, “Meryl carries such an iconic legacy, an unmatched aura and I feel a well-crafted power suit only adds to that strength and elegance she embodies. Anne represents a modern and confident voice, so a contemporary silhouette felt just right for her.”
According to the details shared, Anne Hathaway’s ensemble featured softer white and pink tones with a fluid, modern silhouette. In contrast, Meryl Streep’s look embraced bolder floral shades of orange and green, structured to reflect strength, elegance and presence.
For Malhotra, the exchange represented more than just a celebrity gifting moment. It also symbolised Indian craftsmanship being recognised on an international platform. “It makes me extremely proud and happy to take Indian craftsmanship to a global stage through artists I deeply admire,” he stated.
The moment has further highlighted the growing global reach of Indian designers, especially as Bollywood and Hollywood collaborations continue to increase across film, fashion and cultural events.
With The Devil Wears Prada 2 gearing up for its theatrical release on May 1, the Tokyo promotions have already delivered an unexpected and memorable crossover — one that brought together Karan Johar, two Hollywood icons and the craftsmanship of Manish Malhotra.
