Amanda Holden and Lexi Hughes stun at gala night
High fashion met Hollywood glamour in central London on Wednesday evening as celebrities gathered at the National Portrait Gallery for the “A Night With Runway” gala, marking the European premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Among the standout arrivals were Amanda Holden and her daughter Lexi Hughes, who drew attention with their coordinated red-carpet looks. The duo arrived in a classic black London taxi, delivering a polished and elegant entrance.
Holden, known for her role on Britain’s Got Talent, wore a sleek strapless black evening gown that highlighted her signature style. Hughes, an emerging model signed to Storm Management, opted for contrast in a bold red lace midi dress. The pair, often noted for their strong resemblance, shared behind-the-scenes moments on social media ahead of the event, with fans praising their appearance online.
Earlier in the evening, they also attended the film’s official premiere in Leicester Square, posing together for photographers. For Holden, the occasion doubled as a proud moment, introducing her daughter to the spotlight at a major industry event.
The gala also reunited stars of the original 2006 film, including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, who were seen mingling and catching up throughout the night.
Hathaway turned heads in a custom black-and-silver strapless gown with a dramatic ruffled train, styled with a sleek high ponytail that nodded to her character’s transformation in the original film. Blunt chose a modern look, changing into a sheer black mini dress paired with opaque tights. Meanwhile, Streep embraced a more relaxed yet striking style, wearing a purple sequined jacket complemented by her signature sunglasses—evoking a celebratory take on her iconic character.
With nearly two decades since the first film’s release, the sequel’s premiere brought together fashion, film, and nostalgia in a night that celebrated both legacy and a new generation stepping into the spotlight.
