Hayden Panettiere Attends “Devil Wears Prada” Premiere NYC – 2006

Her dress? A silver-sequined mini with a white-trimmed neckline—equal parts disco dazzle and prom-night polish. The fitted bodice hugged her frame, while the skirt flared just enough to catch the breeze (and the flashbulbs). It was the kind of look that didn’t whisper “fashion”—it shouted it, unapologetically.

Panettiere cinched the waist with a metallic belt, adding structure and a touch of grown-up edge. Her accessories stayed in the same glimmering lane: silver strappy heels, a delicate bracelet, and a clutch that didn’t try too hard. The synergy was unmistakable—this was a teen star dressing for the moment, not the algorithm.

Her hair, styled in soft waves, framed her face with a youthful ease. Makeup was kept light—glossy lips, a sweep of bronzer, and just enough mascara to flirt with the camera. The lighting at the premiere played in her favor, bouncing off the sequins like a disco ball in motion.

Culturally, the look was pure 2000s red carpet: sparkle-heavy, silhouette-conscious, and designed for maximum photo impact. It echoed the era’s obsession with metallics and mini dresses—think Paris Hilton meets early Rachel Zoe styling. And in the context of The Devil Wears Prada, a film that dissected fashion’s power plays, Panettiere’s outfit felt like a wink to the industry’s glossier side.
