‘The Devil Wears Prada 2' costume designer slams constant set photos: ‘Such a shame'
The devil is in the details. Emmy-winning costume designer Molly Rogers isn't thrilled with 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' set photos making the rounds. 'You know, people are just gonna get burned out with all the paparazzi shots,' Rogers exclusively told The Post. Advertisement She was referring to all the set photos of Anne Hathaway, 42, and fellow cast members such as Meryl Streep, 76, and Emily Blunt, 42, filming the upcoming movie in New York City. 8 Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly in 'The Devil Wears Prada.' AP 8 Anne Hathaway spotted filming 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' in New York City. Felipe Ramales / Advertisement Social media has been flooded with snaps from the set, as fans have poured over their outfits and guessed at plot points. 'There's people monetizing my work. That are identifying every single thing they wear,' Rogers added. Hathaway and her co-stars have been identified as wearing clothing from Dries Van Noten, Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney, Dior, Coach, and more. 'It's just such a shame,' Rogers said. 'A lot of times, you feel like you've already seen the movie just by the exterior shots.' Advertisement The costume designer acknowledged, however, that if a scene involves characters 'doing a walk and talk in New York,' then 'you can't do anything about' bystanders taking photos. 8 Meryl Streep is seen in a red dress filming scenes on 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' set in Manhattan. Jose Perez / BACKGRID 8 Anne Hathaway on set filming 'The Devil Wears Prada 2,' wearing a Dries Van Noten jacket, Levi's jeans, Saint Laurent boots, Favorite Daughter belt, Stella McCartney bag and Jemma Wynne necklace. ASPN / BACKGRID The set photos fall into a long trend of images hitting the internet before a movie debuts its trailer. Advertisement In recent months, there have been steamy set photos of Timothee Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow filming their movie 'Marty Supreme.' In an interview with The Post in February, 'The White Lotus' executive producer David Bernad said that one of the biggest 'struggles' of filming the Emmy-winning HBO hit show was that 'tourists were filming us filming.' 8 Emily Blunt filming 'Devil Wears Prada 2' at Marlow East in New York City. Blunt is wearing a Coach sweater, Maison Margiela skirt, Gianvito Rossi shoes and Dior sunglasses. Christopher Peterson / 'The White Lotus' Season 3 was shot in a real hotel in Thailand, where fellow guests were also vacationing on the premises. 'There was a moment where we were filming a pretty sensitive scene, and there was somebody filming from a hotel room,' Bernad recalled. He ended up calling the person over and watching as they deleted the footage from their phone. When megahit 'Game of Thrones' was filming its ending, the show was even rumored to have filmed multiple 'fake' endings, in an effort to avoid spoilers and leaks. 'I think they're filming a bunch of stuff and they're not telling us. I'm being serious….I think that they don't even trust us,' series star Emilia Clarke told The Hollywood Reporter in 2018. 'There's lots of different endings that could happen; I think we're doing all of them and we aren't being told which is actually what's going to happen.' 8 Anne Hathaway on the set of 'The Devil Wears Prada II' in Brooklyn on August 5, 2025, wearing a Rabanne dress and bag and Rene Caovilla shoes. GC Images Advertisement Although leaked footage is understandably a thorn in the side of any production, many viewers enjoy dissecting them. It's become an unavoidable part of modern social media culture. The original 'The Devil Wears Prada' had costume designer Patricia Field, but Rogers, who has worked on 'Sex and the City' and the spinoff 'And Just Like That,' also worked on that film. Rogers has long been known as Field's protegee. Field, 83, hasn't publicly stated why she's not returning for the sequel, but she's also working on Netflix's 'Emily in Paris.' 8 Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep in 2006's 'The Devil Wears Prada.' Advertisement 'I worked on the first [movie] with Pat,' Rogers said, referring to Field. 'I always try to follow her DNA, even though it's 20 years later, I think, for all these characters.' The original 2006 movie follows aspiring journalist Andrea 'Andy' Sachs (Hathaway), who ends up landing a job as an assistant to high-powered fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly (Streep). Andy isn't interested in fashion and wants to do more serious journalism, but she takes the job at the fictional Runway magazine, anyway. The two women have a battle of wills, but ultimately end in a place of mutual respect. Andy also butts heads with Miranda's senior assistant, Emily (Blunt) and bonds with art director Nigel (Stanley Tucci). 8 Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway seen on the set of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' in NYC on July 29, 2025. Advertisement The sequel will see Hathaway, Streep, Tucci, and Blunt reprise their roles, joined by Kenneth Branagh, Justin Theroux, BJ Novak, and Simone Ashley, among others. Sydney Sweeney and 'Summer House' alum Paige DeSorbo were also seemingly spotted on set, even though roles haven't been officially announced. 'Entourage' star Adrian Grenier, who played Hathaway's love interest, will reportedly not reprise his role. Australian actor Patrick Brammall will step in instead. 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' is expected to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.

Ancient Roman mosaic in Sicily reveals ‘extraordinary' find resembling modern footwear
An ancient Roman mosaic has recently revealed a millennia-old depiction of flip-flops – showing that certain footwear has always been in style. The discovery was announced by the Archaeological Park of Morgantina and the Villa Romana del Casale on Aug. 4. The villa, an ancient Roman estate, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 and is located in Piazza Armerina, a central Sicilian town. The villa is famous for holding the largest collection of Roman mosaics in the world. 'During recent excavation work, two sandals depicted in a mosaic were discovered, resembling modern flip-flops,' said a statement translated from Italian about the newly unearthed mosaic. Found in a bath complex, the mosaic dates back to the fourth century A.D. 'These are not simple decorations, but rather a refined work created by a mosaic artisan of the fourth century, part of a larger mosaic design that adorned the southern bath section of the Villa.' Officials said that the 'extraordinary' finds are helping to enrich 'the already vast archaeological heritage of the site.' 3 A mosaic featuring footwear that look like flip-flops was discovered at Archaeological Park of Morgantina and the Villa Romana del Casale in Sicily. Archaeological Park of Morgantina and the Villa Romana del Casale In addition to the flip-flop find, officials also found a mosaic inscription, as well as three columns with their ornate capitals intact. 'These discoveries once again confirm the exceptionally high artistic and architectural level of the Villa, as well as the importance of the ongoing excavations for the historical and cultural reconstruction of the site,' officials said. '[They] not only expand knowledge of the Villa Romana del Casale, but also highlight the value of archaeological research as a fundamental tool for rediscovering and telling the stories of the cultures that preceded our own.' 3 The ancient remains of the Baths of Villa Romana del Casale.

Planet One Images/Universal Images Group via Getty Images The mosaic isn't the only ancient Roman fashion find that has turned up in recent months. Earlier this spring, an excavator found a piece of chunky Roman jewelry in the British countryside. At the time, archaeologists said the eight-sided ring was 'an uncommon find in the U.K., but not entirely without precedent.'
