One of the year’s most anticipated movies is “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” but the sequel is already a blockbuster in the eyes of Healdsburg’s Gallery Lulo.
The gallery, which specializes in independent jewelry, art, and design, lent 150 pieces of jewelry for the fashion-forward film that reunites cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt.
Gallery Lulo’s co-owner, Anne Kathrine (Katrina) Schjerbeck, has been following social media posts and movie trailers and, so far, has spotted at least 10 of the gallery’s accessories on cast members, including a pair of earrings custom-made for Blunt’s character and a gold chain ring worn by Hathaway’s character from Petaluma-based designer Siri Hansdotter.
Fans and fashionistas will want to save the May 1 movie release date to check out the one-of-a-kind statement pieces, which range in price from approximately $200-$2,400.
“We’ve held them back because we want the originals to be available when the movie comes out,” says Schjerbeck. The devil may wear Prada, but locals get first dibs at Gallery Lulo.
