There is a scene in The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer that appears to recreate the Met Gala. In it, a throng of guests in prom-adjacent gowns ascends the steps of the American Museum of Natural History for Runway magazine’s “Spring Florals” gala. Ashley Graham and Alek Wek are swaddled in tulle-heavy Christian Siriano confections; Simone Ashley wears archive Jean Paul Gaultier; and Meryl Streep appears in an elaborate red ball gown not unlike the Valentino spring 2025 couture dress Anne Hathaway wore to Bvlgari’s high jewelry gala in Milan last night. Perhaps she’d been taking notes.
There was, of course, one key point of difference. Where Miranda Priestley’s neck remains bare (Hollywood budgets aren’t what they used to be), Hathaway’s was adorned with Bvlgari’s Secret Garden necklace—part of the Roman jeweler’s new 160-piece Eclettica collection. It’s an eye-watering creation, centred on a 26.65-carat padparadscha sapphire–sourced in Sri Lanka by executive creative director Lucia Silvestri after years of searching–and set among baguette cuts, onyx inlays, purple sapphires and cabochon emeralds.
