Anne Hathaway Feet: The Broken Heel, Andy Sachs's Shoes and Her Reaction

Anne Hathaway feet and footwear became news on August 27, 2025, when the heel of her Ulla Johnson shoe snapped as she hurried down a stoop on The Devil Wears Prada 2 set in New York. She got straight back up, called out "It's fine!" and later joked about it on Instagram, Footwear News reported.

What Happened When Anne Hathaway's Heel Broke?

She was filming as Andy Sachs, holding a bagel, when her right foot teetered on a step and the heel came off. Footwear News identified the shoe as Ulla Johnson's Bijou Studded heel in black, a caged leather style with gilded studs that retails for $795. She was later seen at Gramercy Park holding up the broken shoe and balancing on her left leg.

Her Instagram response paired the clip with her fall in the bleachers from The Princess Diaries, captioned "Twenty years later, still falling for you." In a Harper's Bazaar interview published March 25, 2026, she said she knew instantly she was being photographed and got up quickly so the crew would know she was okay, then told director David Frankel, "Oh no. I'm news."

Every Andy Sachs Shoe Footwear News Identified

Costume designers used shoes to show how Andy has changed since 2006, and Footwear News followed each pair through summer 2025.

Practical Heels, Open Toes and a Heel Gap

Footwear News noticed a visible gap at the back of the white Prada pumps and read it as character work, a sign Andy still is not sure she fits in. The outlet also observed that most sequel shoes are block or kitten heels rather than thin stilettos, and that she has worn Golden Goose boots on set.

The only open toe pair in the run was the Caovilla sandal, a strappy evening style she wore for a night scene. No outlet has reported a barefoot scene or a pedicure color from the production.

Open Toe Platforms on the 2026 Red Carpets

For The Devil Wears Prada 2 world premiere in New York in April 2026 she wore a red Louis Vuitton gown with a silk corset bodice and red platform sandals on high block heels, Harper's Bazaar reported.

Two weeks later, at the Met Gala on May 4, 2026, Footwear News identified Roger Vivier Viv' Choc platform sandals in black satin under a hand painted Michael Kors gown. The crystal trimmed platform, a covered heel of about 4.7 inches, a wide strap over the front of the foot and a buckled ankle strap gave a peep toe effect; the insole carries the brand's heart.

In September 2026 she reached for a barely there open toe again. At the Verity premiere at AMC Lincoln Square in New York on September 29, YourNextShoes identified what appeared to be Aquazzura So Nude sandals in black, a slim toe strap and slingback under a Prabal Gurung gown.
