  • Blunt picks Norris, whereas Hathaway chooses Leclerc and Hamilton for guest-starring.
  • Hathaway praised Hamilton’s fashion influence.
  • She has dedicatedly showcased her love for F1 on several occasions, including the Met Gala.

Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway gave their answers on which F1 driver they would have liked to guest-star in Devil Wears Prada 2.

Interestingly, Blunt named a McLaren driver, whereas Hathaway stuck with Ferrari drivers, citing that she’s a big fan of the team.

The fashion comedy movie returned to the screens after two decades since its 2006 classic, which earned over $300 million globally and became a popular watch for many fans.

Directed by David Frankel, the 2006 movie witnesses the reunion of Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs, who tries to rescue the company in light of the decline of traditional publishing.

They come across Priestley’s former assistant, Emily Charlton, now a senior executive at Dior and a rival. Both companies compete to keep their position strong in the market.

Blunt and Hathaway name their favourite F1 drivers to guest star in Devil Wears Prada 2

In a recent conversation with Vanity Fair, the interviewer asked Blunt and Hathaway to choose their favourite F1 drivers who could potentially have guest-starred in Devil Wears Prada 2. Blunt went with “Lando Norris” before sharing some praises for him. She said that the reason she chose him is that ” he’s the coolest and he’s such a little cutie pie.”

Hathaway acknowledged Blunt’s suggestion and believes it’s a great choice. However, for her, she would call the Monegasque driver and 7-time World Champion to guest-star. ” I would hope for Lewis […], and I’m a big Ferrari fan so Charles Leclerc,” she added. Agreeing to her point and praising Hamilton’s style, Blunt said, “He’s very fashionable, he’s got the swagger.”

Anne Hathaway loves F1

Hathaway has expressed her love for the sport on several occasions. One of them was at the prominent fashion event in New York, the Met Gala, where she spoke about the sport and the drivers. For instance, in 2023, she came across Daniel Ricciardo, who has now retired from F1. In a video, she smiled broadly and shook hands with the Honey Badger, revealing that she’s a huge fan of the sport at the fashion event.

Another moment also came at the same event in 2025, when Hathaway eagerly wanted to see the ex-Mercedes driver. She said, “I’m looking forward to seeing Lewis Hamilton.” As an F1 girlie, she also took to Instagram last December, listing Norris as the champion at the top in the things for this week pointers. During that time, Norris was competing against Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri for the championship title. He won it by 2 points over Verstappen.

Shazmeen is a seasoned media professional who covers entertainment, pop culture, and other sports, however, she recently also expanded into Formula 1, which she has followed closely on a personal level for quite some time. At the website, her work spans race analysis, drivers’ takes, and interesting off-track stories surrounding the paddock.
