Taking the stage, Hathaway delivered the introduction, saying, “Whether it’s two distinct jewel-toned hats, a meticulously crafted headdress, a simple pair of semi-rimless eyeglasses, complex and dramatic pieces that bring to life a Gothic classic, or watching red turn rust in 16th century England, a character’s costume is key to telling a story.”

Wintour added, “One could argue that one’s wardrobe in real life is also key. Does it make one appear elegant and attractive on, say, the most important night in Hollywood, and say when the most important people in fashion will be judging how one looks?”
Hathaway, who looked stunning in a black strapless gown, quickly turned to Wintour and asked, ''Anna, just curious, what do you think of my dress tonight?”
In a moment that instantly reminded fans of Miranda, Wintour simply ignored the question, gave a signature Miranda-like look, and continued with,“And the nominees are…”
The audience laughed as the playful Devil Wears Prada banter continued. Shortly after, Hathaway asked again, “Anna, would you like to read the nominees?”
“Thank you, Emily,” Wintour replied, seemingly referring to Emily Blunt’s character from the film before reading the nominees in the best makeup and hairstyling category. What was more fun? Hathaway's looks.
Soon after their appearance, the video of them from the ceremony has gone viral with fans reacting to it with much thrill. One user wrote,''Thank you Emily” 😭
Another user wrote,''Anne’s face after is so funny.''
Third user wrote,''Hahahaha thank you Emily.''
