MANILA, Philippines — What began as a dream interview for Anne Curtis turned into a memorable “Andy Sachs” moment after the actress and host tripped while approaching Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway at the Tokyo press event for "The Devil Wears Prada 2."
Curtis, who attended the event alongside social media personality Mimiyuuuh, was set to interview the two award-winning actresses when the lighthearted mishap occurred. In a video she later shared on Instagram, the Kapamilya star was seen enthusiastically approaching Hathaway and Streep, even exchanging greetings with Hathaway, who playfully introduced herself as sharing the same name.
Moments later, as Curtis stepped forward to pose between the two actresses, she tripped over what appeared to be a metal stand.
Attempting to recover quickly, Curtis picked up the object and apologized, drawing warm and humorous responses from both stars.
“You’re not the first. You won’t be the last,” Streep told her.
Hathaway, meanwhile, helped Curtis back on her feet and jokingly kicked the metal stand aside, prompting laughter from those in the room. Event staff also reassured Curtis, keeping the atmosphere relaxed.
Curtis later described the incident as her own “Andy Sachs” moment — Hathaway’s character in the original "The Devil Wears Prada."
“A dream interview with actresses I absolutely admire. Had my Andy Sachs moment as soon as I walked in — ako lang talaga e noh? Of all times!!!! Haha,” she wrote.
“After that my heart rate was hitting the roof, until their warmth took over. As an actress myself, it was such an honor to meet them. I was part of the generation shaped by ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ 20 years ago and I can’t wait to see the sequel on the big screen,” she added.
Despite the stumble, Curtis proceeded with the interview, reflecting on the film’s lasting cultural influence.
“I’m Anne Curtis from the Philippines. Mabuhay. So 20 years ago, this film really inspired a whole generation to fall in love with fashion, including myself,” she said.
Asked about the film’s legacy, Streep noted the sweeping changes since the original’s release.
“Well, it’s been a journey. The world has changed. iPhone has been invented. The year after we came out, the world of journalism, the world of television, everything has changed. And our film talks about how that has an impact on fashion,” Streep said.
Hathaway echoed the sentiment, expressing amazement at the film’s enduring reach.
“Isn’t that incredible? Just to hear you talk about it, the idea that it made you see a version of yourself out there in the world. It’s incredible. I don’t think any of us quite understood the impact that it would have, and the way the audiences would just turn it into something that was much bigger than we ever could have dared hope,” she said.
The conversation also turned to fashion influences, with Hathaway citing historical and contemporary figures.
“I love Joan of Arc in terms of what she was able to say with who she was,” she said, later adding, “I just love Zendaya. Just everything she does — I feel like she never puts a foot wrong. And she always looks so glamorous, but it always feels so personal.”
Streep, for her part, pointed to a classic Hollywood inspiration.
“I like Diane Keaton’s style. She had some real flair and joy in putting together an outfit every morning,” she said.
Curtis also posed a playful question about Streep’s iconic character.
“If Miranda Priestly had a social media account, whether TikTok or Instagram, what kind of content do you think she would have on it?” she asked.
“Well, she would have someone do that for her,” Streep replied.
Hathaway added with a laugh, “I’m just trying to imagine Miranda trying to do a cooking video.”
"The Devil Wears Prada 2" is set to hit cinemas April 29.
