It turns out that every fashion empire needs a diva—and on set The Devil Wears Prada 2it’s not who you’d expect.
Stanley Tucci happily claims the crown … and he’s not even pretending otherwise.
After Anne Hathaway jokingly called him “the diva” during an appearance on Late Show with Stephen Colbert — citing his very particular taste in clothes — Tucci didn’t miss a beat when asked about it at the NYC premiere.
“I’m terrible,” he said with a laugh. “Just awful.”
Case closed.
Even when a young interviewer suggested being a diva might actually mean confidence, Tucci leaned in: “Yeah, I think you’re right.” Not exactly a denial.
The sequel reunites Tucci with Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt, bringing back the razor-sharp world of fashion—only this time with higher stakes and even sharper wit.
Off screen, the cast dynamic seems just as entertaining. Tucci couldn’t help but poke fun at Hathaway’s People magazine’s World’s Most Beautiful cover either, joke: “It’s not that bad. She looks pretty good.”
Hathaway, for her part, is still soaking it all in: “It was such a fun day … was not something I ever, ever, ever expected.”
“It’s still kind of surreal… I’m still trying to wrap my head around it – and I just expect people to tease me about it!”
And yes, back to The Devil Wears Prada struck differently this time: “It was the chance to actually be with the same people again… but with a little more perspective.”
So who is the real diva here? According to Tucci … no debate.
