Several attendees at the Sydney premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 have expressed frustration over a group of influencers who allegedly pushed ahead in line, creating tension at the otherwise glamorous event. The film's Australian debut took place at the State Theatre on Tuesday evening, drawing a stellar crowd of celebrities, media figures, and invited guests.
Queue-Jumping Controversy
Some attendees claim the atmosphere was marred by what they described as 'entitled' behavior from social media stars. One guest told Daily Mail that many influencers were cutting in line, calling it 'so rude' and 'screaming entitled.' Radio star Mitch Churi was seen jumping the queue upon spotting his close friend Abbie Chatfield. Another attendee said she had to battle through crowds of influencers posing inside the theatre just to find a seat, noting that the long queue for a photo in front of a giant red shoe showed no signs of easing as the night progressed.
Glamour Amidst the Chaos
Despite the disruptions, the evening delivered on its promise of excitement and style. High-profile guests turned out in force for the highly anticipated premiere. Abbie Chatfield led the arrivals, wearing a flirty white mini dress inspired by Chanel, featuring woollen fabric, black accents, and mock pockets. She paired the dress with polka-dot pantyhose, towering black patent leather heels, and spiked metallic earrings. Her makeup included turquoise eyeliner, baby blue eyeshadow, pink lip gloss, and a porcelain base, with her curly hair worn loose.
Model sisters Madeline and Simone Holtznagel also turned heads, twinning in matching black gowns. Simone opted for a strapless satin number that highlighted her figure, while Madeline wore a fitted frock with open-toed heels and a gold and diamond necklace. Actor Patrick Brammall, who plays a new love interest for Anne Hathaway's character Andy Sachs, attended with his wife Harriet Dyer, both looking stylish in a grey suit and elegant attire respectively.
