What thrills you?

That's none your business.

Hi, Vogue, I'm Anne Hathaway.

[Anne] Okay, round one, icebreakers.

Okay.

If you were a type of shoe, what would you be?

Chelsea boot.

Oh, a Chelsea boot.

[Anne] A Chelsea boot. Oh, that's good.

My question to you is if we got kicked out of somewhere,

[Anne giggles]

what would the reason be?

We were too glamorous.

[Anne laughing]

I mean, everybody else feels terrible.

Yeah, yeah.

If I were a cocktail, what would I be?

I just associate you with like a negroni.

Ah, well, that makes sense.

But like, it would be a very elevated negroni.

It'll be.

Something special.

Yeah. Yeah, obviously.

What is your go-to coffee order?

Double espresso ristretto.

What is Miranda's coffee order?

Don't remember.

Good answer.

[Anne giggles]

Stanley?

Yes?

If you had to describe me as a pasta shape,

which one and why?

Linguine.

Linguine.

[Stanley] Yes.

Oh, you love me.

Sure.

[Anne] Sure.

[Anne laughing]

Which of these options is the most groundbreaking?

A monochrome outfit, a French tuck,

or saying, It's vintage?

It's vintage, that's the most-

That's the most groundbreaking?

That's the most groundbreaking.

Okay.

Should I go into why?

No, no,

we don't have time. Okay, got it.

What is absolutely not groundbreaking,

no matter how hard we try?

Love.

You are announced as the new editor of Runway.

Who's on your first cover?

Doechii.

Oh, I thought it was gonna be me.

Oh, do you remember the first time we met?

No. No?

[Stanley laughs]

I don't, Anne, I'm old now.

[Anne] It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

I'm sorry, do you remember?

Yes.

Good.

Okay. [Stanley laughs]

Round, ready, round-

One, two, three. Together, yeah.

[Together] Round two, film.

All right.

If I disappeared for 10 minutes on set,

where would you look first?

The men's room.

[Anne laughs]

Did you ever steal something from set?

Yeah, multiple times.

[Anne laughs] [Stanley laughs]

I'm a book thief, I steal lots of books from sets.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I steal a lot of cookbooks from sets.

I don't know if this happens to everybody,

but when you hit a certain age as an actress,

suddenly, you start spending more times on kitchen sets.

And so, depending on it-

Yeah.

What era film you're in,

the cookbooks can be really incredible.

I know, that's true, yeah.

So, I love that, I steal both-

Do you steal them or do you ask people-

[Stanley] A little bit- If I-

Of both.

[Stanley laughs]

I never take anything that seems important.

If it's important, I ask first.

Is this bad?

Yeah!

It's like that bad?

Yeah, you can't, because-

I thought it was like kind of like winked upon.

[Anne] No. No?

[Stanley] No, no, I'm bringing you up on charges.

Oh, no, okay.

Well, what if I gave you one of the brilliant pulls

that I've stolen?

All right, all right, I'll take it.

What is your favorite Miranda Priestly quote?

That's all.

How would you describe the The Devil Wears Prada 2

in one word?

I wouldn't.

Good job.

[Anne] As Nigel-

[Stanley] Yeah.

What's one piece of advice you'd give me?

Gird your loins.

[Anne laughs]

If you had to fire me in Miranda's voice,

how would you do it?

That's all.

Okay.

Forever.

Chills, forever.

If Andy had a podcast, what would it be called?

I think her podcast would be

about the best consignment shops

and off-the-beaten-path places.

Oh, that's good, all right.

Oh- Go ahead.

What? What?

[Team Member 1] But what would it be called?

Well, I would have, that takes time to workshop.

Yeah.

It would be called In The Fountain.

What would Nigel absolutely hate about 2026 fashion?

That too many people wear shorts.

Which character would absolutely thrive in a group chat

and which would leave it?

Andy would be very into the group chat.

Yeah.

And I feel like the rest of you would leave it.

[Anne laughs]

Yeah, I don't like the word group

and I don't like the word chat.

Wow!

So, that's not happening, all right.

If the sequel had a warning label, what would it say?

[Stanley laughs]

Virgin, maybe, I don't know

if you kind of use that for everything.

It's kind of, it just, yeah.

Yeah.

[Together] Round three,

fashion and guess the look.

What's your go-to travel look?

Basically, what I'm wearing right now.

You look great.

Jeans, boots, this and a jacket.

Same for overnight flights?

Yeah.

[Anne] Wow! Yeah.

Eugene on an overnight?

Oh, yeah, I never wear, yeah.

And I might change into the pajamas on the plane.

Do you keep the pajamas at the end?

No, why?

It'd be like keeping your,

like when you go into the hospital,

I'd like to keep my surgical gown.

No.

Okay.

What's the biggest fashion risk you've taken

that actually paid off?

Wearing the things that I like.

Yeah, that's good.

What's the culinary equivalent of over-accessorizing?

Oh, over-saucing.

[Anne] Okay. Right?

Mm-hmm [affirmative].

Can I contribute something?

Yeah.

Truffle oil.

Ugh!

[Anne laughs]

Truffle oil should be banned.

But truffles-

[Anne] Truffles, yeah. Are-

But you'd never-

[Anne] Or palm.

Truffle oil and truffles, it's a hat on a hat.

But also, truffle oil is just gross.

Is it? It's gross.

If you notice, if you eat truffle oil,

you have a bad tummy afterwards.

Oh!

What's the best fashion compliment you've ever received?

Chic.

Hmm.

Which of these is cerulean?

That.

Is that accurate?

[Team Member 1] No.

Fuck, what?

[Anne laughs]

What are you talking about?

That's cerulean?

This looks like sky!

I'm sorry.

This is controversial.

I wanna see the researchers.

That would be Prussian blue, the middle one.

This is like that thing!

Yes, it would be.

This is like that dress that was black,

or white and blue. This is not cerulean.

This is gonna be, yes, I mean, no, no, no.

It's bordering on celadon.

All right.

Where is this from?

I have no idea.

I know it's me, ugh.

[Anne laughs]

I have no idea.

Oh, oh, oh, you've won a Golden Globe.

Oh, I did?

You tell my publicist.

She's, Jen?

He won.

Okay, how about this one?

That is, I'm holding Julie Andrews' hands

at the Princess Grace Awards.

That's so cute that you remember that.

Absolutely.

What did you remember, every,

don't put this on the floor.

[Stanley] Oh, sorry, I'm sorry.

[Anne] I literally cannot-

Yeah, have that, I'm so sorry.

Okay, well, I thought

that this was at the Princess Grace Awards,

but this is the Princess Diaries premiere after-party.

And I still have that dress!

You better hold on.

I'm gonna hold on, I'm gonna frame these.

[Stanley] Okay.

Oh my gosh!

You know what's so funny?

I was on the red carpet for so long

and it was sunny and there wasn't any sun cover

and I got a sunburn.

Oh, that's cute.

Stanley?

[Stanley] Yes?

Where is this from?

A Midsummer Night's Dream.

[Anne gasps]

It is, look at you, you look so wonderful!

Yes, that's Rupert Everett.

What was your favorite line that you got to say?

Oh, What fools these mortals be!

I was hoping, okay. Yeah.

I didn't, I just have like a-

Yeah, thanks for prompting.

I just have a core memory of you saying it-

Yes, I did.

[Anne] Like most wonderful-

I did, yes, when you were like six in school.

I was older than six.

Yeah, okay.

Whose beautiful color and flower does this belong to?

That's us at the Venice premiere

of the Devil Wears Prada.

You got it, there it is.

Right there, so, that's in Alberta-

Love it.

Alberta Ferretti Flower.

Mm-hmm [affirmative].

Where were these shades worn?

Oh, that was just at the Olympics.

Oh, that looks like, that looks Italian.

[Anne] Yes. Yes.

[Anne laughs]

[Stanley] Yes, okay.

Okay.

Who's rocking this leather and [indistinct]?

That is a leather Versace dress

that I got to wear to the fashion show.

And once I got into it,

discovered to my great delight, couldn't really sit down.

[Stanley laughs]

[Together] Round four, last time you-

Got nervous.

Today.

[Anne laughs]

Said groundbreaking unironically.

[Stanley wheezing]

Never.

[Anne laughs]

Never, I've never said that.

Edited your Wikipedia page.

[Stanley laughs]

Never, however-

Yeah?

For a while, somebody decided my middle name was Whitney.

[Stanley] Really?

And I had to correct journalists.

They're like, That's what's on your Wikipedia.

And so, I did have to have someone reach out to Wikipedia-

Yeah.

To correct it.

Mr. Wikipedia, yeah. [Anne laughs]

Monsieur Wikipedia.

Yeah, Monsieur Wikipedia.

Laughed at something inappropriate.

Oh my God.

Laughed at something inappropriate?

What came to mind is really, really bad.

I got the giggles at a funeral once.

Oh, that's funny.

[Anne laughs]

That is funny.

It was horrible.

Yeah, I'm gonna laugh at my own funeral.

Okay, nice, that's chic.

Yeah.

Committed to a lie.

When I told my children when they were younger,

oh, it's too long a story.

[Anne laughs]

Okay, so, they had these Guinea pigs

and the Guinea pigs died, but they wanted to bury them.

So, I didn't wanna bury them,

because I was afraid the animals were gonna dig them up.

I got rid of the Guinea pigs into the bin

and then I put rocks in the boxes.

And they said, Can't we just look at them one more time?

And I said, No, no, no, no, no, it'll make you too sad.

So, then, I just buried the rocks in the boxes.

I think there's a touch of brilliance in that whole thing.

And I was really careful, like I gauged-

Yeah, I was gonna say!

I gauged the weight too very carefully.

So, anyway and they know now, they're older.

They're like full-

This isn't how they find out.

Absolute adults.

No, no, no, they'll never watch it anyway.

But I totally committed to it.

[Together] Round five, this or that.

Talk too loudly or whisper too creepily?

Neither.

Well, thank you.

Vintage or new?

Vintage. Hmm.

Wave back at someone who wasn't waving at you,

[Anne laughs] [Stanley laughs]

or hold the door for someone too far away?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, it's so awful.

I do both of those things all the time, I do.

I feel so bad about the door-holding,

'cause you're like turn,

you do it with the best intentions and then-

And then you're like-

That person just has to like trot.

Right and then they're trotting

and you're like, Oh, fucking hell!

Come on!

You know what I mean?

And then it happened, the waiting thing literally happened

to me the other day.

[Anne laughs] [Stanley laughs]

Somebody went and I went and then they went.

And I was like, okay, improvise or scripted?

I aspire to improv the way you guys can do it.

But I love, I'm a girl who loves a good script.

You love,

yeah, I understand. I love a good script.

I understand.

Too much sauce or no sauce?

Oh, this is impossible.

Why did you do this to this man?

Neither, neither.

Now, this is torture.

Dinner or dessert?

Dessert.

Yeah.

Scarf or tie?

Both.

I like a scarf and a tie.

[Anne laughs]

And this tie, that one tie.

Art museum or history museum?

Art museum.

Miranda or Andy?

What?

I feel like this is a rude question like-

No, no, we can't.

Call or text?

Call, most of the time.

[Stanley] Yeah.

Yes or no?

No.

[Anne laughs]

[Team Member 1] Last question,

did you guys learn anything about each other

that you didn't already know?

That I want Stanley to accompany me

on any murders I commit.

Because you're apparently really good

at lying about where the body is.

Yes, I am.

I am.

If any Guinea pigs die in your house-

Any Guinea pigs, specific, it's very specific-

Just you give me a call right away.

Absolutely.

Yeah, any, if there's a rodent, like a rodent pet,

[Anne laughs]

just call me.

[Together] Thank you so much for watching this.

This has been Off the Cuff with Vogue.
