Before there was Andy Sachs, there was Lauren Weisberger.

The author of “The Devil Wears Prada” famously penned the book based on her real-life experience as Anna Wintour’s assistant that became the 2006 film and sparked the forthcoming sequel — but it wasn’t all coffee runs and dowdy sweaters.

Weisberger attended the New York City premiere of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” at Lincoln Center in NYC on Monday night, taking her husband and two children as her dates.

Calling life “weird and wonderful” in an Instagram post after the event, the author revealed that her daughter carried a bag — Prada, no less — that Wintour herself had gifted Weisberger back in the day.

“Many moons ago Anna Wintour gifted me the very Prada bag that, tonight, my beautiful daughter carried down the red carpet,” she wrote.

Weisberger worked a Vogue magazine for less than a year at the very beginning of 2000 before releasing her book in 2003. Though it’s unclear when exactly Wintour gifted the purse, it is of the early aughts: the original iteration of the now-iconic Cleo bag.

Weisberger’s daughter wasn’t the only one wearing the Italian fashion house on the red carpet. Wintour herself wore a custom Prada striped dress from 2016.

And the editor’s own daughter-in-law pulled from her archives, wearing a floral Prada gown Wintour herself first sported in 2019.

The “Devil Wears Prada” sequel hits theaters May 1.
