Kate Hudson is reflecting on a major career decision—turning down a role in The Devil Wears Prada, the iconic 2006 film starring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt.

In a recent interview with Capital FM, Hudson admitted she regrets not adjusting her schedule to be part of the movie, which became a massive box office success.

“That was a bad call,” Hudson confessed. “It was one of those things where I couldn’t do it, and I should’ve made it happen, and I didn’t.”

The actress, known for her roles in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) and Fool’s Gold (2008), acknowledged that seeing the film later made her realize the opportunity she had missed.

“When I saw it, I was like, ‘Ugh,’” she added. “But again, everything happens for a reason. That was a real ‘I should’ve made that work’ moment.”

What Was Kate Hudson Working on at the Time?

By the time The Devil Wears Prada hit theaters, Hudson was busy with other projects. Between 2003 and 2008, she starred in several films, including:

• The Skeleton Key (2005)
• You, Me and Dupree (2006)
• Fool’s Gold (2008)
• My Best Friend’s Girl (2008)

In 2009, she even co-starred with Anne Hathaway in Bride Wars, making it interesting to imagine what could have been if she had taken on the role in The Devil Wears Prada.

A Devil Wears Prada Sequel in the Works?

The Devil Wears Prada, directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, was a massive success, grossing over $326 million worldwide. With its lasting impact, fans have long speculated about a sequel.

In 2022, Hathaway herself expressed doubts about the possibility of a follow-up. “I just think that movie was in a different era,” she said on The View. “Now everything’s gone so digital, and that movie is centered around the concept of producing a physical thing. It’s just very different.”

However, reports indicate that Disney is in early development for a Devil Wears Prada sequel, with McKenna on board to write the script. While nothing is confirmed, the prospect of revisiting this beloved fashion-world drama has fans excited.

Final Thoughts

While Hudson may regret missing out on The Devil Wears Prada, her career has been filled with memorable roles. As Hollywood buzzes with talk of a potential sequel, fans can’t help but wonder what the movie might have looked like with her in it.
