Anne Hathaway’s food-stained “Devil Wears Prada 2” dress set for auction this fall

Anne Hathaway’s wardrobe from The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to become a collectible, with Page Six reporting that key costumes from the fashionable film will be auctioned this fall. The report highlights one specific piece, a dress described as “food-stained,” worn by Hathaway in the movie’s storyline involving high-fashion presentation and workplace polish.

Page Six’s report also states that the auction will include other prominent looks connected to the sequel, citing costume pieces associated with Meryl Streep as well. The coverage frames the upcoming sale as a way for film and costume fans to acquire items tied to the production, rather than as a promotional giveaway or licensing partnership.

The fashion item spotlighted in the Page Six report is depicted in an accompanying image. The photo caption describes Hathaway wearing a colorful patchwork-style dress with a pearl necklace. The image credit is attributed to Page Six, and the visual is presented as part of the costume-auction announcement surrounding the film’s sequel.

While the report establishes that the costumes are headed for auction and provides the timing window of this fall, it does not, in the information provided here, identify the auction house, the catalog number of the dress, the dates and times of bidding, or whether the sale will be conducted online, in person, or through a combination of formats. Details such as estimated values, authentication methods, and buyer premium terms are also not included in the excerpted information.

For collectors and costume buyers, the most practical question will be what paperwork and verification will accompany the items once the auction listings are published. Film costume auctions typically depend on production provenance, costume department records, and or-house authentication to support claims that a particular garment was worn on screen.

In the near term, the next step for prospective bidders will be to watch for official listing pages from the auction provider when they open their catalog for the fall sale. At that point, the dress’s lot details, dimensions, condition notes, and any restoration or dry-cleaning history, if applicable, are expected to be listed as part of standard auction disclosure.

The auction of film costumes also illustrates how studio-linked entertainment merchandising can spill into the secondary market, where wardrobe pieces become tangible artifacts for audiences rather than just visual elements on screen. For buyers, the timing of the catalog release will likely be the key factor in whether they can review condition reports and bid within the stated auction window.
