Anne Hathaway's clip‑on bangs

Anne Hathaway used clip-on bangs, not a haircut, to bring back Andy Sachs’s fringe during the early *Devil Wears Prada 2* press tour. (x.com) The short video circulating on X shows Hathaway in the bangs as hairstylist Orlando Pita works on the look, tying the reveal to appearances for the sequel ahead of its May 1, 2026 release. (x.com) 20th Century Studios lists *The Devil Wears Prada 2* for May 1, 2026 and says Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci all return, turning the hairstyle into a direct callback to the 2006 film’s makeover-era Andy Sachs. (20thcenturystudios.com) At the Seoul premiere on April 8, 2026, Hathaway wore a tight updo with blunt fringe, and beauty coverage tied the look to Andy’s bangs from the first movie rather than to the sequel character’s current styling. (marieclaire.com) Clip-in bangs are a temporary hairpiece that fastens at the hairline with small clips, letting someone test a fringe shape without cutting their own hair. (shop.luvmehair.com) Hair-extension guides describe them as a low-commitment option because they can be trimmed to face shape, styled separately, and removed the same day, avoiding the months-long grow-out that follows a real bang cut. (www.luxyhair.com) That made Hathaway’s reveal easy for fans to copy: the look delivered a recognizable movie reference and a styling trick that does not require scissors, dye, or a salon appointment. (x.com) The bangs also fit the sequel’s wider press strategy, which has leaned on visual references to the original film as Hathaway and Streep moved through stops in Mexico City, Seoul, Shanghai and other promotional events this month. (goodmorningamerica.com) Nearly 20 years after the first film, Hathaway’s fringe landed as both costume memory and beauty demo: one clip, one callback, and no actual haircut. (20thcenturystudios.com)
