Simone Ashley stepped into a lower-profile chapter of her on-set footwear story this week, spotted in flat black Chanel sandals while filming “The Devil Wears Prada 2” in New York City on Thursday.
The double-strap silhouette featured smooth, padded leather bands framing the forefoot, set above a squared toe and flat sole. The minimal construction offered an easy contrast to the more structured, high-impact heels she’s worn in earlier scenes, letting the brand’s quiet logo-free design speak for itself.

The choice marks a shift from her “Devil Wears Prada 2” debut at the end of July, when she wore opaque knee-high socks with black patent pumps featuring a high Mary Jane-style strap. That earlier combination leaned into a preppy, statement-driven aesthetic, playing with proportion and era references. By comparison, this week’s Chanel slides bring the tone down to something closer to a city off-duty pace — still brand-coded, but without the deliberate push of a trend piece.

They also link her to an earlier costume choice from costar Anne Hathaway, whose character Andy Sachs was seen filming in quilted Chanel slides in late July. While Hathaway’s version featured black velvet straps with diamond stitching and gold double-C hardware, the parallel suggests a shared shorthand for practical luxury among Runway-adjacent characters — a quiet alignment in the sequel’s footwear language.

Ashley’s sandals were styled with Stella McCartney’s midrise flared jeans in a washed blue finish, their full length skimming the sidewalk to partially obscure the shoe profile. A fitted black tank top, black Prada Arqué small leather shoulder bag and Kimeze Gabriel sunglasses completed the look — a casual, streamlined palette that kept the emphasis on cut and proportion.
In the broader “Devil Wears Prada” wardrobe arc, Ashley’s rotation from patent heels to padded flats adds more intrigue to what exactly her character’s role is. As one of the film’s new cast members alongside Lucy Liu and Justin Theroux, her character’s styling suggests a position within the magazine’s fashion sphere but not bound by its most theatrical codes. Flat Chanel sandals, especially in this unfussy configuration, read as pragmatic choice: easy for city walking, yet polished enough to hold their own in the franchise’s high-fashion frame.
