Anne Hathaway channels 'Devil Wears Prada' character during New York Fashion Week

WATCH: Elton John receives standing ovation for ‘Devil Wears Prada’ musical

Anne Hathaway triggered a wave of nostalgia at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday.

The actress attended Michael Kors' Spring/Summer 2023 show wearing a monochromatic look that included a brown crocodile jacket and a matching black skirt and turtleneck.

For many, it's hard to unsee how much Hathaway was channeling -- intentionally or otherwise -- her iconic Andy Sachs character from the hit 2006 film "The Devil Wears Prada."

Similar to her character, Hathaway also wore blunt bangs to the show.

Another user chimed in, calling Hathaway's appearance "iconic."

The early 2000s comedy-drama stars Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, a famed but demanding fashion magazine editor, and Hathaway as Andrea "Andy" Sachs, a college graduate that goes to New York City and lands a job as Miranda's co-assistant.

The film follows Sachs' journey to fit in with the rest of the fashion industry and Priestly's high standards. However, her personal relationships begin to struggle as a result of her brand new vibe. In the end, Sachs goes back to who she really is and moves on.
