Elizabeth Hurley looks stunning in a semi-sheer gown at The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical premiere in London, joined by her son Damian, Lily Collins, Anna Wintour, and other celebrities.

Elizabeth Hurley and dashing son Damian led the stars at the glitzy world premiere of The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical at London’s Dominion Theatre on Sunday evening. 

The much anticipated show, which is based on the 2006 comedy starring Meryl Streep, saw a throng of A-listers hit the red carpet including actress Lily Collins and Vogue boss and rumoured inspiration for the original novel Anna Wintour.

Actress Elizabeth, 59, looked sensational in an eye-catching semi-sheer beaded gown gown which boasted a plunging neckline and teased a glimpse of her jaw-dropping figure beneath. 

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.

Meanwhile Damian, 22, whose god father Elton John, 77, wrote the show’s music, cut a dashing figure in all black ensemble, which boasted a long black leather trench and matching trousers.

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

The stunner put on a very leggy display in the very revealing look 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.

Vogue’s Anna, 75, 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 fashion editor character Miranda Priestly was based on Anna, which in the musical is played by Vanessa Williams, 61.

However back in 2019 co-star Emily Blunt 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 musical features an original score by Sir Elton, lyrics by Shaina Taub, and book by Kate Wetherhead.

Reflecting on why he decided to write the musical’s score, the musician told RadioTimes.com: ‘The film is a classic and it’s aged brilliantly and fashion and music go together so well, so there were so many scenes in the film that were crying out for music. It was a no brainer for me.

‘It’s fantastic to be able to write for this kind of musical because it’s not Shakespeare, it’s absolutely so much fun.

‘It’s got fantastic costumes, an incredible cast, and brilliant choreography.’

While Sir Elton’s career as a musical theatre composer is slightly less famous than his singing, he is responsible for some of the best musical theatre scores in history.

The Lion King, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, earned him an Oscar, as well as the original West End run of Billy Elliot in 2005.
