It’s been 19 years since The Devil Wears Prada film was released in 2006, and rumours of a sequel have been flying around for years. Finally, when it was announced that filming of The Devil Wears Prada 2 had begun in July 2025, fans from around the world rejoiced. 

If there’s one thing that we can’t take our eyes off (besides the cast’s stupendous wardrobe, of course), it’s the show’s leading lady, Anne Hathaway. Although it’s been more than a decade since we first saw her play Andy Sachs in the movie, it appears that time has left no trace of it on her skin.

What’s the secret to her ageless-looking skin? Shiseido’s Vital Perfection range. In fact, her skin loves the products so much that it “looks forward” to using them. Anne shares that they’ve quickly become an essential part of her skincare routine.

The skincare range’s slogan, “Potential has no age”, strikes a chord with Anne. “When I heard of it, I felt so excited,” she shares. “It was a feeling that I had, and I was thrilled that Shiseido thought that I could represent it.”

In a society where youthfulness is valued, the phrase also serves as a reminder for us that one shouldn’t be defined by one’s age only, and that we can continue to expand our potential as we grow older.  

The science that goes behind the products is what Anne appreciates and trusts most about the brand. With its extensive research efforts, Shiseido continuously improves its formulae to help us achieve better-looking skin. Last year, Shiseido relaunched its iconic Vital Perfection range, and its star product is none other than the Intensive WrinkleSpot Treatment A+.

The new formula now boasts two ingredients, Pure Retinol and SafflowerRED. The former helps to accelerate our skin renewal process and improve the production of epidermal hyaluronic acid. The latter is Shiseido’s powerhouse ingredient, extracted from high-quality Japanese Mogami safflower that blooms for only 14 days a year, and it supports firmer, brighter, and more resilient skin.

Together, they boost skin firmness while targeting visible signs of ageing, including deep-set wrinkles, expression lines and crow’s feet. The Vital Perfection range also includes the award-winning 4MSK Powered Complex, which suppresses melanin production to minimise the appearance of dark and age spots. 

With such power-packed ingredients, it’s no wonder that Anne’s skin is primed to unlock its fullest potential.
