Anne Hathaway referenced her iconic Andy Sachs character at the Michael Kors spring 2023 show during New York Fashion Week. And she did so while sitting next to Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour no less. The irony was not lost on anyone when the actress showed up in a look that evokes the fictional assistant of Miranda Priestly (whose role is inspired by Wintour) in “Devil Wears Prada.” Dressed in head-to-toe Michael Kors, she reinterpreted her character’s brown leather jacket and black turtleneck costume, opting for a brown croc embossed coat and matching miniskirt and a black knit turtleneck sweater. Hathaway’s top bun and bangs also reflected her character’s hairstyle, rounding out the déjà vu moment. She finished with a brown clutch and black pumps with red bottoms.
Hathaway sat front row, next to Wintour, who wore a printed black-and-white maxi dress with pointy animal-print boots. Next to the duo sat Serena Williams, who donned a hot-pink suit layered over a light pink top and finished with silver heels and jewellery. Other notable attendees include Lori Harvey, who looked sporty and cool in a gray minidress, oversize coat, and Yankees cap; and Vanessa Hudgens, who appeared in a black belted halter jumpsuit and coat.
Meanwhile, the catwalk explored daytime, evening, and power dressing, similar to the fall 2022 collection. Bella Hadid modelled an all-black bra top and asymmetric skirt styled under a blazer. Paloma Elsesser walked the runway in a scarlet one-shoulder dress with a centre slit. There were also some sportswear staples – from tank tops to bathing suits – as well as glittery gowns and skirts. The show notes captured the themes succinctly: “Urban Resort. Big City Polish. Juxtaposed with relaxed resort glamour. A celebration of the body.” The commercial collection didn’t reinvent the wheel, but it boasted all the stylish staples the Michael Kors customer will need for all occasions.
