Elizabeth Hurley stuns in semi-sheer gown as she joins leggy Lily Collins, Vanessa Williams as well as Vogue boss and rumoured show inspiration Anna Wintour at star-studded premiere of The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical in London

Elizabeth Hurley was at the forefront of the celebrity attendees at the glamorous world premiere of Sir Elton John’s latest production The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical held at London’s Dominion Theatre on Sunday night.

The highly awaited show, inspired by the 2006 comedy featuring Meryl Streep, attracted a crowd of top-notch celebrities gracing the red carpet, such as actress Lily Collins, main performer Vanessa Williams, and Vogue’s chief editor and speculated influence for the original book Anna Wintour.

Actress Elizabeth, aged 59, stole the show in a striking semi-sheer embellished gown with a plunging neckline that offered a glimpse of her stunning figure.

She opted for chic jewellery as well as gold accessories as she slipped her feet into a pair of towering platform heels while toting her essentials for the evening in a metallic clutch.

Emily In Paris star Lily, 35, who is appearing in West End play Barcelona, looked sensational as she slipped into a very revealing Vivienne Westwood Couture sequinned gown. 

The much anticipated show, which is based on the 2006 comedy starring Meryl Streep , saw a throng of A-listers hit the red carpet

The stunner put on a very leggy display in the eye-popping outfit which featured a racy thigh-high split as well as a cleavage enhancing Bardot neckline. 

Lily forwent jewellery and let the dazzling gown speak for itself as she posed up a storm with dashing husband Charlie McDowell, 41, whom she wed in 2021.

Following the show actress Vanessa, 61, who leads the cast as battle-axe fashion editor Miranda Priestly was the epitome of glamour as she slipped into a gorgeous black gown for the swanky afterparty. 

The dress boasted a boned corset with sheer panels that teased a glimpse of her toned physique, as well as a dramatic train that gracefully swept behind her as she walked.   

Meanwhile Vogue’s Anna, 75, looked effortlessly stylish in a navy bejewelled gown and satin emerald overcoat which she wore with dazzling diamonds and her trademark dark glasses. 

Fans of the hit film The Devil Wears Prada have long assumed that Meryl Streep’s character was based on Anna, which in the musical is played by Vanessa.

However back in 2019 co-star Emily Blunt said the Oscar winner did not use the Vogue editor as inspiration and told the NPR podcast: ‘Meryl didn’t actually base it on Anna Wintour. Well, she told Anna that. She based it on two men in Hollywood that she knew – who will remain nameless, but I know who they are. That’s all.’

The film, which was based on Lauren Weisberger’s book of the same title, was said to be loosely based on the author’s real experiences of working at glossy fashion magazine.

The film took over £250 million at the box office, earning Meryl Streep an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of the glacial fashion magazine editor, with rumours of a sequel in the works.

The legendary musician, who was accompanied by husband David Furnish, made the surprise admission as he took to the stage, weeks after revealing an infection had left him partially sighted. 

He said: ‘As some of you may know I have had issues and now I have lost my sight. I haven’t been able to see the performance but I have enjoyed it.’ 

Sir Elton, 77, was assisted offstage by David, 62, with the icon crediting his husband for helping him since his eyesight faltered, saying: ‘To my husband who’s been my rock because I haven’t been able to come to many of the previews… it’s hard for me to see it but I love to hear it and it sounded good tonight OK. Thank you for coming!’.

Elsewhere on the red carpet Claire Sweeney broke her silence exclusively to MailOnline about her split from Ricky Hatton – as she made a glamorous appearance on the red carpet.

The couple recently ended their relationship of eight months, which saw them date in secret after starring on ITV‘s Dancing On Ice and enjoy a Tenerife holiday in May. 

But since their summer getaway, the boxer, 46, and former Brookside actress, 53, have parted ways – months after Claire spoke about how they bonded over humour and their joint love of TV sitcom Only Fools and Horses. 

The pair were last pictured together on November 13 in Manchester while attending the musical version of the hit sitcom, which is currently on a UK tour.

At the event she turned heads in a busty white sparkling dress which she wore with a matching sheer cape and silver heels.

She wore her blonde tresses styled into a perfect bouncy blow dry and opted for a pop of red lip for the night out.

Coronation Street actress Claire previously explained she and Ricky had known each other for 25 years before sparks flew between them while the boxing champion said it was ‘nice’ they were able to connect following the end of their respective relationships.

Claire had been single following her separation from ex-Daniel Reilly, with whom she shares son Jaxon, in 2017, and Ricky, who has three children, was a free agent after his romance with beautician Angela Blemmings ended two years ago.

Elsewhere on the red carpet Arlene Phillips, 81, who was famously a Strictly Come Dancing judge for four years, voiced her admiration for Pete Wicks.

Giving her thoughts on the remaining contestants, she admitted she was a big fan of ‘fearless’ comedian Chris McCausland and ‘stunning’ Love Island star Tasha Ghouri.

And despite ending up at the bottom of the leaderboard for three week in a row, Arlene defended Pete’s efforts and praised his ability to poke fun at himself, as she referenced his infamous pink latex trousers during Blackpool Week.

Speaking to MailOnline at the star-studded musical premiere, she said: ‘I actually admire [Pete]. He is trying so hard and anyone who will wear pink trousers – so tight, bare chest, come on! That’s hilarious! And he doesn’t mind sending himself up.’

Discussing the upcoming final and who she was placing her bets on to nab the Glitterball, Arlene said: ‘I am excited. I think anyone could win. 

‘I love Chris because he’s so fearless and Tasha’s stunning. But they’re all great and anyone can win, because it’s all about who the public fall in love with.’ 

While the movie’s  original cast hasn’t been confirmed to return yet for a sequel, the reported plot description hints that both Meryl Streep (Miranda Priestley) and Emily Blunt (Emily Charlton) would be back, according to Variety.  

The sequel’s story will follow Priestley and her career in present day as traditional magazine publishing is on the decline. 

She squares off with Charlton, who is said to be a high-powered executive for a luxury group, as Priestley is chasing that company’s ad dollars.

None of the reports have mentioned if Anne Hathaway would return as Andrea ‘Andy’ Sachs, or if other supporting cast members would return such as Stanley Tucci, Simon Baker, Adrian Grenier, Gisele Bundchen and Tracie Thoms.
