On Friday, Aug. 1, Streep, 76, and Tucci, 64, along with a host of other actors, were photographed filming for the sequel to the original 2006 film at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The photos, obtained by PEOPLE, showed the cast attending a Met Gala-like event, as Streep's Anna Wintour-like character Miranda Priestly wears a dramatic red ballgown with an asymmetrical neckline. Tucci, meanwhile, wore a classic black tuxedo with a polka-dot bowtie, a black and white striped scarf and his classic black glasses. TheStewartofNY/GC The pair — who play the editor-in-chief ofRunway, a fictional high-fashion magazine, and her loyal confidant and art director Nigel, respectively — were photographed walking hand-in-hand down the steps of the museum. Banners photographed outside the venue make a hilarious reference to the first film — the fictional event's theme is "Spring Florals" (something Priestly dryly quips is "groundbreaking") with a cerulean backdrop.
