Stephanie Cooker shared her thoughts on hosting the event in an Instagram caption: “Miranda Priestly would look up from her desk, say nothing, and that would be enough. Truly an honour to host the premiere of such an iconic movie that shaped the careers and fashion of so many of us women and men. The shoes? Also, Miranda approved. That’s all.”

It is cinched at the waist with a wide fabric bow, while the black satin extends from the hip to the floor.
