Anne Hathaway juggled a hectic schedule as she attended the Mother Mary screening with co-star Michaela Coel on Thursday evening. 

The American actress, 43, looked in good spirits as she hit the red carpet just on day after attending the Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere in London.

Anne and co-star Michaela, 38, couldn't contain their laughter as they posed at the Mother Mary screening which was held at the Picturehouse Central.

The Princess Diaries star showed off her amazing figure in a dramatic black gown, which boasted a semi-sheer cut out top, bold sleeves and a pleated long skirt. 

Styling her dark tresses in a neat half-up waved do, the actress accessorised with a pair of gold hoop earrings. 

Meanwhile Michaela looked incredible in a long strapless grey tasselled top which she paired with smart black trousers. 

The Black Earth Rising star wrapped an arm around Anne as the duo posed before making pout faces at each other. 

Long-buried wounds rise to the surface when iconic pop star Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway) reunites with her estranged best friend and former costume designer, Sam Anselm, (Michaela Coel) on the eve of her comeback performance. 

The appearance comes just one day after Anne hit the red carpet for the Devil Wears Prada 2 with co-stars Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci. 

In the film, the stars dive back into the cutthroat world of high fashion - but this time with a modern twist.

Early plotlines suggest Miranda Priestly is grappling with the decline of traditional print media while facing off against Emily (Blunt), now a powerful executive controlling crucial advertising dollars.

The sequel will also introduce a host of new faces, including Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh and Lucy Liu.

Filming has taken place across New York and Milan, with behind-the-scenes glimpses already sending fans into a frenzy.

The original Devil Wears Prada wasn't just a box office smash - it cemented itself as a cultural touchstone, turning Streep's Miranda Priestly into an instantly iconic character and inspiring a generation of fashion lovers to whisper 'That's all'.

Early reactions for the The Devil Wears Prada 2 have already arrived ahead of its May release, and critics have warned fans to 'gird your loins... it is phenomenal.'

The movie had its US premiere on Monday and critics who have attended the early screenings have been busy posting their initial thoughts.

Whilst the review embargo doesn't lift until April 29, some social media reactions have been going viral, with the reactions all overwhelmingly positive.

The Hollywood Reporter's Alex Weprin shared on X that the movie is 'a biting media parody wrapped up in high fashion. Every journalist who sees it will cringe from recognition.'

Variety writer Jazz Tangcay agreed, teasing: 'Gird your loins, the devil is back in all her glory! Yes, #thedevilwearsprada2 is phenomenal. It is the perfect sequel that exceeded all expectations.

'Aline Brosh McKenna's script is sharp and witty. We'll be quoting this for years to come. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt are still great. Stunning costumes, and that soundtrack slaps hard. GAGA!!!!!!! Loved it. Worth the wait. That's all.'

There's a host of new faces in the sequel. Lady Gaga has a cameo and has also written and recorded the song Runway with rapper Doechii for the film's soundtrack.

Donatella Versace, Ciara and Ashley Graham also have cameos whilst Justin Theroux plays Emily’s boyfriend Benji, Kenneth Branagh is Miranda’s new husband and Simone Ashley plays Miranda’s current first assistant.

There have been some victims of the edit though as Sydney Sweeney has had her cameo cut.

The actress played herself in a three-minute scene, in which she was styled by Emily Blunt's character, Emily Charlton.

According to EW, Sydney's appearance would have come near the beginning of the movie, but was scrapped because it did not work structurally.

Fans first learnt of her involvement with the movie when she was spotted arriving on the New York City set in August.

The plot line for the follow-up to the original 2006 flick reads: 'As Miranda Priestly nears retirement, she reunites with Andy Sachs to face off against her former assistant turned rival: Emily Charlton.'

Sydney's removal from the film comes after she became a political lightning rod when her family's political views came to light.
