Anne Hathaway recently posted the first trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 on Instagram, accompanied by the iconic red-studded Rockstud stilettos from Valentino in 2010. While intended to be a celebratory moment for the film's star and its release, the shoes have sparked intense criticism from fashion enthusiasts online.
The controversy revolves around Miranda Priestly, the character played by Hathaway, wearing a shoe style considered passé. The shoe, once popular among fashion editors of the decade, has now become a symbol of outdated taste. Comments on Hathaway's post reflected this sentiment, with some even going as far as to say that giving Rockstuds too much airtime was a "choice."
However, not everyone shares the same opinion. Fashion experts argue that shoes like Rockstud could make a comeback in a bid for revival. Julia Hobbs, senior contributing fashion features editor at Vogue, believes there's something nostalgic about them and would be happy to see a vintage shoe trend revived.
While it remains to be seen whether The Devil Wears Prada 2 will succeed in breathing new life into the style, one thing is clear: fashion enthusiasts are taking great interest in the film. Strong reactions around costumes are becoming increasingly common in popular culture, demonstrating the significant impact of fashion on our perceptions and discussions about film and TV.

i mean what's next gonna be ppl ranting about the new trailer 4 the sequel 2 b released in 2050 lol jk kinda, but seriously, its just a shoe and fashion is all about experimentation n taking risks. i saw an old vid of anne hathaway wearing those rockstuds back in the day and she looked AMAZING 
cant wait 2 see her bring that same energy 2 the new movie 
I mean, who wouldn't want to see more Miranda Priestly drama? But at the same time, I kinda feel like she's trying too hard with those Rockstud shoes... they just don't seem that iconic anymore. 
I mean, have you seen them on anyone lately? They look super dated next to all the fancy new stilettos out there. 
On the other hand, I'm totally loving the nostalgia vibes Julia Hobbs is bringing to the table - if vintage shoes are coming back, then bring it on! 
I'm loving the drama around Anne Hathaway's Rockstud post! Some people are totally salty that Miranda Priestly is rocking a shoe style they consider retro 
. But honestly, who says shoes have to follow current trends all the time? Julia Hobbs is giving me life 
with her nostalgic vibes - I'd love to see vintage shoes back in style! 
It's all about embracing individuality and having fun with fashion, right? 
And can we talk about how much interest there is around costume design for films and TV shows now? The internet is always abuzz when it comes to fashion, and that's what makes it so exciting 
It's just a pair of shoes. And if Miranda Priestly can still rock them in 2025, then why can't Anne Hathaway? I mean, Rockstud was a big deal back in the day and it'll be cool to see them make a comeback. Maybe people are just too quick to judge fashion trends without giving them a chance. Fashion is all about experimentation and having fun with style... and what's more fun than revisiting old favorites? 
! Rockstud stilettos were EVERYWHERE back in 2010 and they still hold up today 
). The fashion world is so unpredictable and that's what makes it exciting 
. Let's bring back the drama and glamour of the 2010s 
!
. Julia Hobbs is like the ultimate fashionista – always spotting trends before they're cool 
. And honestly, who doesn't love a good vintage vibe? I'm hyped to see how The Devil Wears Prada 2 will bring back that iconic style... or not 
I think it's cool that Anne Hathaway is reviving the iconic shoe style from 2010. I mean, who doesn't love a good nostalgic moment? 
And honestly, Rockstuds are still fire 
. Julia Hobbs makes a valid point about nostalgia playing a role in reviving old styles. I guess you could say fashion is all about taking risks and trying new things... or at least, that's what I keep telling myself when I'm rocking my grandma's old handbags 
. Do you think Rockstuds will make a comeback? 
. And I have to agree with Julia Hobbs, there's something classic about Rockstuds that could work well in a revival trend 
lol some ppl just need to relax, rockstuds r still slaying 
. Not sure why people are so bent outta shape over a pair of shoes 
its like they wanna suck the fun outta a celebratory post! give people the benefit of the doubt and say maybe it'll bring back a vintage vibe? I'm all for fashion revival, who says old is outdated anyway?
