Panorama went to the exclusive party for the cult sequel at the Rinascente in Milan among VIP guests and the absence of Anne Hathaway which is causing discussion.
Someone lets a strong friend carry him on his shoulders to see better, many others crowd against the barriers and keep their cell phones ready for a photo of the passing VIP. There is a lot of crowd already in the late afternoon in front of the Rinascente in Milanchosen to host the red carpet, the official dinner and the afterparty of the film The Devil Wears Prada 2the sequel to the cult title that told the story behind the scenes of the world of fashion and consecrated mythical characters such as Miranda Priestleyplayed by the always extraordinary Meryl Streep.
The rumors speak of the arrival of Anne Hathawaythe other protagonist, but late in the evening hope fades, the actress will not be seen, as will the other international names of the second part of the film, which also has many scenes hosted in Milan. Not bad, because the whole atmosphere of the evening will not make them regret it. It is full of glamour, fashionable moments, pride and status symbols, the desire to be seen and photographed. And, with an attitude worthy of Hollywood, to skip the queue.
A “Miranda Approved” dress code between red carpet and status symbol
For example, the dress code required of the evening’s guests immediately put everyone in the right mood, triggering closet panic: «Miranda approved». That is, no cerulean sweaters, much better long dresses, necklines, designer or extravagant accessories, to reiterate that fashion is language, an ostentation and an extension of one’s personality.
Anyway, say Meryl Streep there is the Italian voice, the very good one Maria Pia Di Meoposing in front of photographers at the end of the red carpet, filled with two fetishes from the film, two gigantic red shoes with heels that are the devil’s merman. You can’t get more evocative than that. The most coveted accessory is a gift bags mysterious with the film’s logo in extra large size, but then the irony is that there is a race to get rid of it, to entrust it to the companion on duty, to be splendid in front of the photographers’ flashes.
The Italian stars and the Terrazza Rinascente
Here, among the many local beauties, Cecilia Rodriguez in red, in perfect match with the dominant color of the Italian premiere, as well as Federica Panicucci And Giulia Salemi. Simona Ventura instead he chooses a leopard-print suit, Serena Autieri And Carla Gozzi they are on white.
The directors of the Italian editions of the great fashion magazines arrive, everyone goes up to the terrace of the Renaissancefacing in front of the Cathedralso close that it seems you can touch it. Dinner is served to the rhythms of a DJ set, there are small burgers, small plates of pasta and rice, then desserts, from cream cannoli to macarons, all washed down with plenty of champagne: the waiters pass among the guests and fill the half-empty glasses. Thus the atmosphere becomes lively.
The final surprise with Clean Bandit
When the evening seems destined to end, the big final surprise: the Clean Bandita British electronic music group with some songs that have reached almost two billion plays on Spotify. They begin with Symphony and close with their warhorse, Rather Be, sung at the top of their lungs by the many guests, who seem to dedicate it to each other: «When I’m with you, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be». Especially on nights like this. And how would he say Miranda Priestleythat’s all.
