Overview
- Filming is underway across central Milan with Palazzo Parigi serving as the production base, complete with blackout tents and a redesigned lobby to shield shoots.
- Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt have been on set, with scenes reported at Casa Cucinelli and appearances tied to Milan Fashion Week events.
- Roughly 7,000 people auditioned and about 2,000 were selected as extras, processed through a wardrobe hub at Spazio Quattrocento in via Tortona near Mudec.
- Extras receive same-day call times, must keep phones off and follow low-profile dress codes, with reported pay of about €100 per day or €150 when a personal car is used.
- Security measures include decoy tactics such as a stand‑in for Streep, while a May 1, 2026 release and a possible Lady Gaga appearance are reported but not confirmed.
