December 2nd 2024.
The latest sensation to hit London's West End is none other than The Devil Wears Prada show, and it's already making waves with its star-studded opening night. Among the A-list guests in attendance was the legendary Vanessa Williams, who looked absolutely stunning as she graced the red carpet.
The Dominion Theatre was the place to be, with fashion icons like Anna Wintour and Donatella Versace making an appearance alongside actor Luke Evans. But all eyes were on Vanessa, who dazzled in a floor-length black gown with a dramatic thigh slit and a peek-a-boo mesh detail on her stomach. With her hair elegantly styled in a bun and a subtle smokey eye, she let her natural beauty shine.
For the second half of the evening, the Ugly Betty star changed into a silky red top and a black leather skirt, showing off her versatility and fashion sense. In the show itself, which features music by the legendary Sir Elton John, Vanessa takes on the iconic role of Miranda Priestly, the intimidating editor-in-chief of Runway magazine.
Joining her on the red carpet were other members of the cast, including Olivier award winner Matt Henry as Nigel and Amy Di Bartolomeo as Emily, the first assistant. Georgie Buckland, making her West End debut, stepped into the character of Andy, played by Anne Hathaway in the original 2006 film. The rest of the ensemble, including Rhys Whitfield and James Darch, also made an appearance at the British Museum for the world premiere before heading to a charity event on December 1st.
Speaking of fashion, the stars did not disappoint. Anna Wintour, who is rumored to be the inspiration for Miranda, turned heads in a stunning emerald green coat and blue dress. And she wasn't the only one making a statement on the red carpet. Elizabeth Hurley and her son Damian, as well as Drag Race star Michelle Visage, all wowed in their on-theme outfits.
Unfortunately, composer Elton John was unable to attend the premiere due to health issues, but he did make an appearance at the charity event with his husband and producer of the show, David Furnish. The event raised funds for the Elton John Aids Foundation and was attended by a host of celebrities.
The fashion game was still going strong at the after-party, with Donatella Versace rocking a gold glittering dress and Lily Collins stunning in a shimmering off-the-shoulder gown. Graham Norton, Arlene Phillips, and Luke Evans were also in attendance, looking dapper as ever.
But it wasn't just the stars of the show that caught our attention. Internet sensations Amelia Dimoldenberg and Dylan Mulvaney also made a stylish appearance in their monochromatic looks.
