Overview

• Footage from the New York shoot shows Hathaway falling after a heel appeared to break, then popping up, smiling, and telling onlookers she was fine before continuing work.
• It remains unclear from public reporting whether the fall was scripted or a genuine accident, though bystanders and outlets noted her quick recovery.
• Hathaway later stitched the viral clip with her iconic unscripted bleacher fall from The Princess Diaries, captioning, “Twenty years later, still falling for you.”
• Footwear trade outlet WWD identified the shoe as Ulla Johnson’s Bijou Studded high heel and described how the heel snapped during the stair descent.
• Production on the sequel is underway in New York with Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci returning, and the film is scheduled for May 1, 2026.
