Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci on The Devil Wears Prada 2, Stolen Props, Truffle Oil, and a Guinea Pig Cover-Up

Icebreakers: Shoes, Cocktails, and Pasta Shapes

The session opens with one of them asking "What thrills you?" and the other replying, "That's none of your business," before conceding that Vogue wants to know. In the icebreaker round, asked what kind of shoe they would be, the answer is a Chelsea boot. Asked why the two of them might get kicked out of somewhere, the reply is that they were "too glamorous" and "made everybody else feel terrible."

On cocktails, one of them says they simply associate the other with a Negroni, though "a very elevated Negroni" with "something special" to it. The go-to coffee order is a double espresso ristretto. Asked for Miranda Priestly's coffee order, the answer is "Don't remember," which is praised as a good answer. Hathaway then asks Tucci to describe her as a pasta shape. After a pause, Tucci picks linguine, and Hathaway takes this as proof that "you love me."

A multiple-choice question asks which is most groundbreaking: a monochrome outfit, a French tuck, or saying "it's vintage." The pick is "it's vintage," and an offer to explain why is cut short for time. Asked what is never groundbreaking, "no matter how hard we try," the answer is "love." If named the new editor of Runway, the first cover star would be Doja Cat, to which the other replies, "Oh, I thought it was going to be me."

Asked whether he remembers the first time they met, Tucci says he doesn't: "I don't, Annie. I'm old now." Hathaway says she does.

Round Two: On Set and in Character

Asked where the other would look first if they disappeared from set for ten minutes, the answer is "the men's room."

The question of stealing from sets gets a longer answer. Tucci calls himself a "book thief," and cookbooks in particular. He explains that once an actor reaches a certain age, they spend more time on kitchen sets, and depending on the era of the film, the cookbooks can be "really incredible." Hathaway says she steals bowls. She sometimes asks and sometimes doesn't, but never takes anything that seems important without asking first. She had assumed the practice was "kind of like winked upon," but Tucci jokingly says he is "bringing you up on charges." The dispute ends when she offers him one of her stolen bowls and he accepts.

Questions about the new film get deliberately little. The favorite Miranda Priestly line is "That's all." Asked to describe The Devil Wears Prada 2 in one word, the reply is "I wouldn't," which gets a "good job." Asked what advice Nigel would give, Tucci says, "Gird your loins." Asked to fire Hathaway in Miranda's voice, the answer is again "That's all," and the reaction is "Forever. Chills."

On spin-off ideas, Andy's podcast would cover the best consignment shops and "off-the-beaten-path places." A second answer, after some time to "workshop" it, gives a title: In the Fountain. Nigel's pet peeve about 2026 fashion would be that "too many people wear shorts." Andy would thrive in a group chat, they agree, while the others would leave. One of them adds, "I don't like the word group, and I don't like the word chat." Asked for a warning label for the sequel, they return to "Gird your loins," noting it works for almost everything.

Round Three: Travel Clothes, Culinary Excess, and Cerulean

The fashion round starts with what one of them is wearing that day: jeans, boots, a top, and a jacket. The same goes for overnight flights, with a possible change into the airline's pajamas on board. The pajamas never come home, because keeping them would be like keeping your surgical gown after a hospital stay.

The biggest fashion risk that paid off was "wearing the things that I like." The best fashion compliment ever received was "chic."

Asked for the culinary equivalent of over-accessorizing, the first answer is "over-saucing." Then one of them adds, "Truffle oil," and argues it should be banned. Truffles are fine, but pairing truffle oil with truffles is "a hat on a hat," and truffle oil on its own is "just gross." The speaker also claims that eating it leaves you with "a bad tummy afterwards."

A color test turns into the round's main argument. Shown swatches and asked which is cerulean, one of them chooses a color and is told it's wrong, leading to a loud "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" The counterargument is that the chosen swatch "looks like sky" and is really Prussian blue. They compare the confusion to the viral dress that looked either black and blue or white and gold. The last word is that the color is "bordering on celadon."

Guess the Look: Old Red Carpets

The two are then shown archival photos. One photo draws a blank ("I know it's me. I have no idea") until it is identified as the night of a Golden Globe win. The response: "Did you tell my publicist?"

Hathaway first identifies a photo of herself holding Julie Andrews's hands as the Princess Grace Awards, and is corrected: it was the Princess Diaries premiere after-party. She still owns the dress and says she wants to frame the photos. Her memory of the night is being on the red carpet so long, with sun and no shade, that she got a sunburn.

Tucci correctly identifies a still from A Midsummer Night's Dream with Rupert Everett. Asked for a favorite line, he offers "what fools these mortals be." Hathaway says she only has "a poor memory" of him saying it. The joke that he must have been "like six" in a school production gets the reply "I was older than six."

Other photos include the two of them at the Venice premiere of the first Devil Wears Prada, with an Alberta Ferretti flower on a collar; a pair of sunglasses worn "at the Olympics," which they say "looks Italian"; and a leather Versace dress with ruched detail worn to a fashion show. Hathaway says she discovered, "to my great delight," that once she was in it she couldn't really sit down.

Round Four: Last Time You…

Asked when they last said "groundbreaking" unironically, one answers "Today" and the other says "Never."

Neither has edited their Wikipedia page. However, one of them says that for a while someone had listed their middle name as "Whitney," and journalists repeated it because "that's what's on your Wikipedia." They had to have someone contact Wikipedia to fix it, and the others dub the site "Mr. Wikipedia," then "Monsieur Wikipedia."

Asked about laughing at something inappropriate, one of them admits to getting the giggles at a funeral, calling it "horrible." The other says they plan to laugh at their own funeral, which is judged "chic."

The longest story in the video answers "committed to a lie." When Tucci's children were younger, their guinea pigs died and the children wanted to bury them. He worried animals would dig the bodies up, so he threw the guinea pigs in the bin and put rocks in the boxes. When the children asked to see their pets one more time, he said no because it would make them too sad. Then he buried the boxes of rocks. He stresses that he matched the weight "very carefully." Hathaway sees "a touch of brilliance" in it. Tucci says his children, now adults, know the truth. When someone points out this shouldn't be how they find out, he says they'll "never watch it anyway."

Round Five: This or That

The last round is quick. Talk too loudly or whisper too creepily: neither. Vintage or new: vintage. Waving back at someone who wasn't waving at you, or holding the door for someone too far away: both, "all the time." The door is the worse one, because the other person "just has to like trot," and the mistaken wave happened just the other day.

On improvised versus scripted, Hathaway says she aspires to improvise the way the others can, but "I'm a girl who loves a good script." Too much sauce or no sauce is called "impossible" and "torture," and gets "neither." Dessert beats dinner. Scarf or tie: both, but only a particular kind of tie. Art museum beats history museum. "Miranda or Andy?" is declared a rude question and goes unanswered. Call beats text, "most of the time." "Yes or no" gets "No."

The session ends back on the guinea pigs. Hathaway says she wants Tucci with her for any murders she commits, because he's apparently very good at lying about where the body is. Tucci agrees, "Yes, I am," and says that if any guinea pig, or any rodent pet, dies in her house, she should call him right away.
