Amanda Holden, 55, and her stunning daughter Lexi Hughes, 20, turned heads at the Devil Wears Prada 2 reception gala on Wednesday night. The mother-daughter duo brought the glamour to the event, looking absolutely flawless as they arrived at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Amanda, flaunting her incredible figure and sun-kissed tan, wore a daring strapless black gown, while Lexi looked just as fabulous in a red-lace evening dress. The two couldn’t stop smiling as they posed together, holding hands and basking in the spotlight.
The pair had already wowed fans earlier on the red carpet at the European premiere of Devil Wears Prada 2 in Leicester Square. Amanda posed solo for a few snaps, showcasing her striking figure in the sunlit photos before heading to the after-party. Lexi, her lookalike daughter, joined her for more snaps that quickly flooded Instagram with compliments. Fans went wild, with messages like, “You both look absolutely stunning,” and “This is so precious, two living angels.”
At the A-list bash, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep, and Stanley Tucci were also in attendance, posing for photos and sharing laughs. Anne, in a bold black and silver striped gown, stole the spotlight with her chic style, while Emily Blunt turned heads in a sheer black mini dress, showing off her legs. Meryl Streep, in a dazzling purple sequin jacket, even broke character, flashing a huge smile at the event, making her presence known.
The evening’s theme, “A Night With Runway,” saw many stars changing into glamorous outfits for the gala after the red carpet premiere. The new plot of Devil Wears Prada 2 hints at a modern twist with Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) facing off against Emily (Blunt), now a powerful executive in the advertising world. Fans are eager to see how the story unfolds with a host of new faces including Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, and Lucy Liu.
The premiere’s early reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with critics calling the sequel “phenomenal” and warning fans to “gird your loins.” The movie, set in New York and Milan, promises to be a stunning follow-up to the iconic original, which turned Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly into a pop culture legend.
