As The Devil Wears Prada 2 is inherently tied to the world of high fashion, Anne Hathaway and her stylist were faced with a massive challenge as they had to hide her pregnancy while putting together memorable couture red carpet looks on the promotional tour.
And the 43-year-old Hathaway, alongside stylist Erin Walsh, certainly accomplished their mission as the A-lister not only looked incredible on each event stop, but also gave no hint that she was expecting her third child.
No doubt it was important that everything go as perfectly as planned as the marketing campaign for the highly-anticipated sequel to the 2006 flick was reportedly one of the largest film promotional efforts undertaken by Disney.
Hathaway and co-stars including Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci brought their best glamour to two world premieres – one in New York and the other in London – in addition to several photocalls, interviews, and other press events.
Regardless, the New York native was able to pull off the daunting task of stunning at every promo tour event – which ended about a month-and-a-half ago – while hiding her growing baby belly.
Hathaway finally revealed her sweet news in a new Instagram video on Friday, sharing a look at her blossoming baby bump with her fans.

Hathaway showed that she has an eye for avant-garde fashion while also leading the eyes of fashion critics and fans away from her growing belly during a press stop in Seoul.

April 24: Photo call in London
Hathaway used ‘black is slimming’ to her advantage as she attended a photo call in London two days after the premiere.
She kept her belly wrapped in a gorgeous black velvet dress from Armani Prive.
It was adorned with pearl embellishments all over it which gave a bit of a stars in the sky effect as on-lookers had many places to look and hopefully missed the midsection.

April 28: NYC Cinema Society Screening in New York City
The A-lister went for a bold bright red look at a screening in New York City toward the end of April.
