Anne Hathawaydidn’t mean to have a modern-dayDevils Wears Pradamoment.
During an appearance onTodayon Wednesday, the Emmy winner opened up about herNew York Fashion Week ensembleat the Michael Kors show, which broke headlines for its uncanny resemblance to what her character, Andrea “Andy” Sachs, would’ve worn in the 2006 film.
Hathaway, 39, then revealed that her internet-breaking outfit was “an accident.”
“It was kind of nuts wasn’t it,” the Oscar winner admitted, adding that her original look didn’t work out as planned.
The outfit in question featured a brown knitted waist-length turtleneck top teamed with a matching crocodile-printed mini skirt and overcoat, a clutch and black stiletto heels, all of which could’ve been pulled straight out of the 2006 film.
As for the star’s Andy-approved curtain bangs and high ponytail? Also coincidental.
“My hairstylist, who’s so lovely and I’ve never worked with him before, just said, ‘Oh I know what to do!’ and he threw my hair up in a ponytail,” she shared. “I looked in the mirror and I thought, ‘Oh that’s funny, I wonder if anybody will notice?'”
“We noticed,” Hathaway and Guthrie said in unison.

The Devil Wears Pradahas remained a pop culture mainstay and popular fashion reference since its release in the early aughts — even for Hathaway who remembers its sartorial influence.
In her cover story forInterviewmagazine published in June, which consisted of questions from her fans and famous friends, the Bulgari ambassador revealed her favorite look from the movie, thanks to an inquiry from fashion designer Michael Kors.
“I love what I wore to the James Hoult party, that velvet Chanel coat that went to the knees, and then the miniskirt and the stockings and the slouched boots. I think it was a sample because I kept finding straight pins in it,” Hathaway said.
