The Devil weds Branagh! Prada star Meryl Streep gets a new husband
But here British actor Kenneth Branagh appears to be enjoying his role as her third husband during filming for the forthcoming Devil Wears Prada sequel.
Dressed in a red frock, Ms Streep is seen out on the town with a dapper looking Branagh, 64, who has been confirmed as playing her spouse in the follow-up to the 2006 movie.
While his character is yet to be named, Miranda divorced her second husband Stephen – portrayed by James Naughton – towards the end of the original film.
In the movie, she was previously married to a British rock star who is the father to her twin daughters Caroline and Cassidy, who will be around the age of 21 when the movie is released on May 1 next year.
Ms Streep, 76, returns for the project along with Anne Hathaway who played Andy Sachs, and Emily Blunt, 42, who portrayed her rival Emily Charlton. Stanley Tucci also returns as fashionista Nigel.
Ms Hathaway, 42, was also seen this week filming her scenes. Dressed in jeans and a raincoat, she appears to be distressed in our photographs taken after she was seen visiting Miranda's home where her husband (Branagh) answered the door.
In the forthcoming follow-up, Andy is no longer with her university boyfriend Nate but instead finds a new love interest who is portrayed by Australian actor Patrick Brammall – the star of Colin From Accounts, where he played main character Gordon.
The Devil Wears Prada sequel, again directed by David Frankel, will reportedly tell the story of Miranda dealing with the collapse of the magazine industry and now forced to build bridges with her one-time assistant Emily, who is in charge of a luxury brand – and its advertising spend.
It is thought that film-goers might see Emily getting her revenge on cold-hearted Miranda who was so malicious to her when she worked for her.
The original 2006 comedy – based on the novel by Lauren Weisberger – made more than £300 million at the global box office.

Topshop is back! A fashion editor's guide to the best buys
I t's the British high street label beloved by every shopper over 30 — and whose London Fashion Week catwalk shows once had enough gravitas to pull Kate Moss to its front row. In the five years since Topshop closed its doors, millennials have kept a tender flame of hope alive that it might stage a comeback. Now they have to decide if its official relaunch lives up. Topshop is back, after months of rumours and social media teasing. The brand that gave us Jamie jeggings and the Oxford Street store more commonly known as 'mecca' to those who made fashion pilgrimages there every weekend reintroduced itself to customers this weekend with a highly anticipated catwalk show staged in Trafalgar Square on Saturday afternoon. Cara Delevingne, the supermodel face of its new Autumn 2025 campaign, sat front row. So did the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. British editors elbowed their way through heavy crowds of the public to get a view of their former favourite label's much-hyped new look. Among the chattering throngs were women of every age who represented the broad church appeal Topshop always had, from teenagers through to Gen X.

Mary, Queen of Scots review — a wacky look at history's famous monarch
Scottish Ballet has scored a hit with the world premiere of Mary, Queen of Scots, at the Edinburgh International Festival. The company's resident choreographer Sophie Laplane, and her co-creator, the director James Bonas, have fashioned an audaciously bold, assured and sometimes downright wacky take on Scotland's passionate monarch, filtered through the troubled memories of Queen Elizabeth 1. The staging (at the Festival Theatre) is streamlined, dominated by the designer Soutra Gilmour's simple set: a three-sided grey wall that can be raised and lowered as needed. The storytelling is episodic yet fleet, even driven, its stateliness consistently marked by a quirky sense of humour that in no way detracts from the material's emotional gravitas. All of it is lent a great deal of spark by Mikael Karlsson and Michael P Atkinson's original score, an eclectic stream of lively, sometimes dark and always propulsive music played live. • Read more dance reviews, guides and interviews This handsome, stylish Mary is a lot of fun but also has dramatic chops. But be warned: the first act is potentially challenging, especially for anyone with a fuzzy grasp of this period of British history. It commences with a prologue for the aged Elizabeth (guest artist Charlotta Ofverholm in a powerhouse supporting performance) deliriously circling in her underwear. Everything that ensues stems from her troubled mind. We then are plunged into a breathless trot through Mary's personal relationships alongside the political intrigue swirling around and between her and the royal cousin she famously never met. Courtiers come and go, clad by Gilmour in black velvet or pleated lavender, some with mohawk-like helmet plumes and others with bulbous eye coverings. The narrative is, however, largely character-driven. Laplane gives us two genuinely sexy duets, one for Mary (Roseanna Leney, dynamic and elegant) and her second husband Darnley (Evan Loudon) and the other for the bisexual Darnley and his lover Rizzio (Javier Andreu). There is also, in a brilliant touch, a younger Elizabeth, played on opening night with regal yet camp subtlety by the towering Harvey Littlefield in pantaloons, a ruff and, at one point, on stilts. • Edinburgh festivals 2025: the best theatre, music and dance shows The real pay-off in Scottish Ballet's treatment of Mary's life comes in the second act, principally via two scenes: one a beautiful, abstract dance between the proxies of Mary and Elizabeth, and the other the lead-up to Elizabeth's critical decision to execute Mary. By then this fizzing production has expanded and deepened. It is that rare thing, a work I felt I would gladly revisit even as I was watching it.★★★★☆130minTouring to Glasgow, Inverness, Aberdeen and Edinburgh to Oct 18, Follow @timesculture to read the latest reviews

The family who made Kennedy Center medals at their kitchen countertop have been dropped by Trump as he eyes new Tiffany design
A Washington-area family that has handmade the Kennedy Center honorees' signature rainbow-and-gold medallions for nearly five decades has reportedly been cut loose, the latest change in President Donald Trump 's ongoing reshaping of the nation's flagship public arts institution. James and Mila Baturin have been making the medals, which were designed by New York artist Ivan Chermayeff, since the first Kennedy Center Honors ceremony was held in 1978. Since then, the center 's distinctive awards pieces, featuring three gold-plated medallions on a rainbow ribbon necklace, have largely been assembled by hand on the family's kitchen countertop in Bethesda, Maryland. However, they learned earlier this month that the Kennedy Center would no longer be working with them, as the arts center reportedly has contacted jeweler Tiffany & Co. about designing a new medal. 'As the Kennedy Center looks toward the future and embarks on a new chapter, we will be transitioning to a new partnership for the creation of the Honors medallions,' reads a letter, dated Aug. 6, seen by The Washington Post. 'We suspected something would happen as soon as the president decided he was going to take over the Kennedy Center,' Baturin told the paper. The Independent has contacted the Kennedy Center and Tiffany for comment. President Trump announced the latest crop of Kennedy Center honorees earlier this week, naming '70s rock band KISS, country legend George Strait, disco singer Gloria Gaynor, actor Sylvester Stallone, and British actor Michael Crawford. They will be celebrated at the Kennedy Center Honors award ceremony in December, hosted by none other than Donald Trump. In February, Trump bucked decades of bipartisanship at the public-private arts institution and pushed out presidentially appointed trustees from the Biden era. The new board then took the unusual step of voting Trump as its chair. Since the takeover, Trump has vowed to eliminate 'woke' content from the Kennedy Center, and has been met with some boos and boycotts from audience members and performers. The president's Republican allies, meanwhile, have proposed a bill that would rename the Kennedy Center the Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts. Announcing the honorees this week, the president said he was personally involved in the selection and vetoed "a couple of wokesters" proposed by the Kennedy Center board. Staff were reportedly caught off guard by the decision, and Kennedy Center Honors executive produce Matthew Winer announced his resignation this week. The Kennedy Center isn't the only major Washington public institution getting a Trump makeover. The White House is reportedly planning a sweeping review of the Smithsonian Institution, home to many of the nation's premier historical and cultural museums, to ensure everything from exhibits to operations are in line with the president's interpretation of history ahead of upcoming celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S.
