After bringing Miranda Priestley back to the big screen 20 years later, Meryl Streep is giving fans a chance to own a piece of the Runway editrix’s closet.
The 3x Oscar winner has conceived an online auction of wardrobe pieces from The Devil Wears Prada 2, taking place Sept. 1-15 on Christies.com, with proceeds benefitting the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).
Featuring Miranda’s Dries Van Noten tassel jacket, a Bad Binch TongTong by Terrence Zhou feather dress worn by Lady Gaga, Andy’s (Anne Hathaway) signature cerulean sweater and more, the pieces will be on display in a free public exhibition from Sept. 8-13 at Christie’s New York.
For New York Fashion Week, Christie’s will also host an invite-only cocktail party and live charity auction on Sept. 10 with CPJ and CFDA, during which fashion pieces and film-inspired luxury experiences will be up for bid.
“Please join us as we celebrate truth and beauty, beauty and truth! The Devil Wears Prada spectacular global auction of shoes, bags, gowns and glamorous experiences, live via Christie’s, to benefit The Committee to Protect Journalists, and The Council of Fashion Designers of America!” said Streep in a statement. “Get your gorgeous on in time for fall and bid up big!”
Premiering in April to a $691M global haul, The Devil Wears Prada 2 sees the fashionable return of Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestley, Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton and Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling, with the familiar characters struggling in a state of declining print media.
Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman also reprise their roles from the original 2006 Aline Brosh McKenna-penned film, with Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Rachel Bloom, Patrick Brammall, Conrad Ricamora and Lady Gaga also joining the cast.
