Amanda Holden and her daughter Lexie Hughes brought the glamour as they attended the Devil Wears Prada 2 afterparty on Wednesday night. The mother-daughter duo looked flawless as they stepped out of their black cab at the National Portrait Gallery for the A-list bash in London.
Amanda's Daring Gown
Amanda, 55, showcased her incredible figure and impressive tan in a daring strapless black gown. Her lookalike daughter Lexi, 20, wore a red lace see-through evening dress for the outing. After exiting the car, Amanda quickly adjusted her dress before they headed for the red carpet. The pair couldn't stop smiling as they held hands against the backdrop of the iconic building.
The Gala Reception
The theme of the afterparty was 'A Night With Runway' gala reception. Earlier, they had walked the red carpet for the European premiere of the film in Leicester Square, where they posed for photos by the iconic red heel. Amanda shared pre-carpet snaps from a nearby hotel on Instagram, receiving compliments from fans who called them 'stunning' and 'absolutely stunningly beautiful'.
Stars at the Bash
Leading ladies Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt led the stars at the event, laughing and posing with Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci. Anne commanded attention in a bold strapless black and silver striped gown with a ruffled train, while Emily wore a sexy black sheer minidress. Meryl stole the show in a dazzling purple sequin jacket, breaking her Miranda Priestly character with a huge smile. Stanley ditched his pinstriped suit for a smart navy blazer and trousers.
Film Sequel Details
In the film, Anne reunites with Meryl, Emily, and Stanley as they dive back into the cutthroat world of high fashion with a modern twist. Early plotlines suggest Miranda Priestly grapples with the decline of print media while facing off against Emily, now a powerful executive. The sequel introduces new faces including Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, and Lucy Liu. Filming took place across New York and Milan. Early reactions for the May release have been phenomenal, with critics warning fans to 'gird your loins'.
