The clip, shared by 20th Century Studios on their official social media handle, captured a light, playful moment between the trio. In true ‘Devil Wears Prada’ spirit, the conversation turned to fashion judgment.
Anne cheekily asked Karan, “Do you judge their shoes?” This question instantly set the tone. Without missing a beat, the Dharma head admitted, “All the time!”
The reply made Anne burst into laughter.
But the real highlight came when Meryl noticed Karan’s footwear. He was wearing Prada shoes, and the legendary actress nodded in approval, saying, “You have the perfect shoes on today!”
It was a “full-circle moment” for Karan, who has often spoken about his love for high fashion and cinematic drama.
Before the Tokyo interaction, Karan had already taken to social media to pour his heart out about meeting Meryl. And the post was less of a caption and more of an emotional confession.
He revealed that he is “singularly obsessed” with Meryl’s brilliance and even called her his “guru” in the art of acting and character portrayal. Karan admitted he has watched ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ more than 47 times (yes, 47) and said he has quoted the film at dinner tables, edit suites, and even board meetings.
Describing the meeting, he wrote that standing next to Meryl made him feel like “the ground shifted.” He tried to stay calm, but confessed that his “knees were rattling.”
Karan also shared that both Meryl and Anne were warm and welcoming during their chat. He even joked that the photo from the interaction was “going in my will.”
He teased fans by saying there’s “so much more” from his conversation with “the favourites of the season.”
