'Devil Wears Prada 2' photos tease Anne Hathaway's possible love interest

Andy Sachs has officially left the "lumpy blue sweater" behind.

Photos from the set of "The Devil Wears Prada 2" may offer some insight into the big-city life of Anne Hathaway's character two decades after the beloved original book adaptation came out on June 30, 2006.

In photos captured Aug. 5 on the streets of Brooklyn, Hathaway, 42, is seen getting cozy with a new costar, "Colin from Accounts" actor/creator Patrick Brammall. Hathaway, whose character Andy is presumably out from under the thumb of "Runway" magazine overlord Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), dons a glittery blue, shin-length Rabanne dress from the designer's 2026 cruise collection.

Perhaps an ode to the cerulean sweater that prompted Priestly's long-winded rant in the original film? That remains to be seen.

It's unclear what character Brammall, 49, plays in the sequel. The Australian actor is married to "Colin from Accounts" costar and co-creator Harriet Dyer.

In the first "Devil Wears Prada," Andy's love life is largely a casualty as her job as Priestly's second assistant takes precedence.

She lives with her boyfriend, Nate (Adrian Grenier), but the two ultimately are unable to find middle ground as Andy develops an edge while working in the cutthroat fashion world. She also dabbles in a romance with journalist Christian Thompson (Simon Baker), which doesn't pan out.

Details of the highly anticipated sequel are scant while it's in production, but fans have for weeks dissected the characters' fashion, as captured in paparazzi photos.

"The Devil Wears Prada," based on the book of the same name, grossed more than $325 million at the worldwide box office and earned Streep an Academy Award nomination for best actress.

'The Devil Wears Prada 2' cast

Among the returning stars are Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux and B.J. Novak flesh out the cast, according to Variety and People.

Undoubtedly bringing comic relief, "Sex Lives of College Girls" actress Pauline Chalamet will also appear, according to the outlets. The film has also brought in Broadway talent, with "Maybe Happy Ending" star Helen J. Shen and "Oh, Mary!" actor Conrad Ricamora confirmed, per Variety.

The halls of Runway won't be missing familiar faces, though. Tracie Thoms, who played Lily, Hathaway's best friend, will reprise her character, as will Tibor Feldman, who portrayed media executive Irv Ravitz.

David Frankel, director of the original "Devil Wears Prada," is returning for the sequel, and the first movie's screenwriter, Aline Brosh McKenna, is writing the script.

"The Devil Wears Prada 2" will give Hathaway the opportunity to revisit one of her most iconic early roles, 20 years later. The first movie hit theaters just five years after she made her film debut with 2001's "The Princess Diaries."
