Gird your loins! The trio presented the first “Actor” of the night, reuniting nearly 18 years after the release of the iconic film.
A cast reunion at an awards show? Groundbreaking.
But there’s no sarcasm here because The Devil Wears Prada stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt reunited at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards nearly 18 years after the release of the iconic 2006 film — and it was, in fact, groundbreaking.
During Saturday night’s awards show, which streamed live on Netflix, Streep, 74, Hathaway, 41, and Blunt, also, 41, presented the first award of the night, giving out the “Actor” for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series (which went to Jeremy Allen White for The Bear).

Streep first took the stage solo, “accidentally” bumping the microphone as she shared that she didn’t have her reading glasses or the envelope.
“Two things, I forgot my glasses, clearly, and the envelope,” she said, before Hathaway and Blunt saved the day and appeared on-stage, carrying her glasses and the envelope, respectively.
It’s also worth noting that Hathaway donned a cerulean blue gown. (It’s not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean.)
The Devil Wears Prada — which was based on Laura Weisberger’s 2003 novel of the same name — was released in June 2006.
In the film, Streep starred as Runway magazine’s editor-in-chief, Miranda Priestly, who Weisberger is long speculated to have based on Vogue editor Anna Wintour as the author once worked as Wintour’s assistant.
Hathaway played Andrea “Andy” Sachs, an aspiring journalist with no experience in the fashion industry who gets hired as Miranda’s assistant, while Blunt starred as Miranda’s junior assistant, Emily Charlton.
