Donatella Versace cut a typically stylish figure on Tuesday as she joined Anne Hathaway in Milan on set of the hotly anticipated, The Devil Wears Prada 2. 

The Italian designer, 70, who was name-dropped several times in the original 2006 hit, stood out in a bold blue suit as she chatted to crew members on set.

She completed her look with brown sunglasses and appeared relaxed as she took a break during filming. 

Meanwhile, Anne, 42, who is set to reprise her role as Andrea Sachs, was hard at work filming scenes with co-star Emily Blunt, also 42. 

The Oscar winner turned heads in a red leather trench coat, worn over a shimmering silver trouser suit. 

She further accessorised with a black cap and tinted shades and toted her essentials in a mini red leather bag. 

To complete her look, she added inches to her frame with black and white stilettos as she strutted down the street, bringing Emily to a halt in her car. 

The sequel is set for a May 2026 release - exactly 20 years after the original became a cultural phenomenon. 

Whilst finalised plot details have been kept secret, it is thought audiences are set to follow Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) as she grapples with the struggles facing print magazines. 

Reports suggest she'll need to turn to her former assistant Emily, who was played by Emily Blunt and is now a top executive at a luxury label, in a bid to secure vital advertising deals.

When the first film came out, Emily's character was rumoured to be inspired by former Vogue writer Victoria 'Plum' Sykes, who herself has strenuously denied as much. 

Miranda Priestly's character, however, is thought to be inspired by American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who announced she would be stepping down from her role in June after 37 years.   

The original Devil Wears Prada wasn't just a box office smash - it cemented itself as a cultural touchstone, turning Streep's Miranda Priestly into an instantly iconic character and inspiring a generation of fashion lovers to whisper, 'That's all.'

The original scored two Academy Award nominations, including Best Actress for Meryl, who also took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. 

It earned five BAFTA nods, three Golden Globe nominations overall, and cemented itself as one of the defining comedies of the 2000s. 

David Frankel and Aline Brosh McKenna, the director and writer, respectively, of the original movie, have been enlisted for the same jobs on the sequel. 

The Devil Wears Prada is based on the novel by Lauren Weisberger and was published in 2003.

It has since been made into a musical, starring Vanessa Williams as Miranda Priestly and with music by Elton John.
