Clare Waight Keller reveals her Devil Wears Prada ambition

Clare Waight Keller would love to be involved with the sequel

Clare Waight Keller wants to work on the 'Devil Wears Prada’ sequel.

The Uniqlo artistic director – who famously designed Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s wedding dress when she was at Givenchy – would love to be responsible for costume design on the long-awaited sequel.

Asked if there’s a movie she’d like to appear in, Clare told Harper’s Bazaar magazine: "Actually, I would most like to do the costume design for the next ‘Devil Wears Prada’.

“You can’t get more fashion-packed than that.”

It was claimed last summer that a follow-up to the 2006 movie – which starred Meryl Streep as Runway magazine editor Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt as her assistants – was already in the works.

Emily later admitted that she had heard "rumblings" about a sequel.

Speaking at the Red Sea Film Festival, Emily said: "There's rumblings, there's stuff churning around, but I don't know if I can confirm anything completely ... but we would all be delighted to work together again."

Emily also admitted to being surprised by the success of the original film.

The actress said: "I just didn't know anything back then. I remember my agent calling me on the opening weekend and saying, 'It made this'. I was like, 'Is that good?'

"When we were filming it, we were weeping with laughter every day. We thought we were making something funny ... but I didn't know that it would become this thing that would catch fire in the way that it did ... it's quoted to me every week now."

Emily believes the film changed the course of her career, too.

She said: "Playing that character, who was so insane, it paved the way for people to see me more as a character actor rather than someone who should just be in a period drama ... a lot of British people are just subjected to wearing a garnet or a crown at some point."
