Decoding Anne Hathaway's Japan look

Anne's Valentino attire is from the Italian luxury label's Haute Couture collection. It features a black Specula Mundi dress with a red accent at the bodice and a skirt of ivory ruffles. She paired the ensemble with white Valentino Garavani Rockstud pumps. The strapless silhouette, with a cinched hem, rounds out the ensemble's design elements.

Anne and Erin styled the ensemble with minimal jewels from Bvlgari. She wore cocktail rings and diamond-studded earrings. As for her hair, she traded her usual long tresses for a sleek high ponytail complete with blunt bangs and chin-length face-framing pieces.

Meanwhile, for glam, she opted for feathered brows, glossy pink lips, blush-tinted cheeks, beaming highlighter, mascara-coated lashes, pink eye shadow, and soft contouring.

Meryl Streep's straight off-the-runway look

Meryl, on the other hand, wore an all-red look as an ode to the blood-red pump from the original Devil Wears Prada movie poster. The outfit is from the Chanel Métiers d’Art pre-fall 2026 collection.

It features a red coat and midi skirt, both decorated with a graphic art-style white splotches, full-length sleeves, front button closures, structured shoulders, and a tailored fit. For an added pop of colour, the underside of the sleeves featured a coral blue patch. Long black fringes embroidered on the sleeves and hem rounded off the look.

She completed her straight-off-the-runway look with a few accessories from Chanel, including a pair of white slingbacks with black toes, an oval clutch, and large square sunglasses. For jewellery, she turned to gold hoop earrings and cocktail rings.
