And the familial relationships go deep as Emily also starred alongside Stanley in The Devil Wears Prada and its sequel, meaning the whole family—including Emily and her husband John Krasinski's kids Hazel, 12, and Violet, 9—got to spend time in Italy together while making the second film.

"It was great, because we travel a lot together," Stanley told E! News during a joint interview with Emily in April. "Their kids are the same age for the most part, and they're best friends. To have it sort of cross over with work was just, like, weird."

"The kids are running around," Stanley recalled of their time together, with Emily quipping, "We never see them. They're sort of feral."

And while he and Emily have certainly made their marks in the fashion world with The Devil Wears Prada, Stanley's interest actually goes beyond that. 

“My folks always dressed very nicely,” he told Mr. Porter in October. “My dad was an art teacher. This was in the 1960s, so people wore suits and ties and all that to go to work. As the years went on, he dressed slightly more casually, but I always remember him wearing a jacket.”

The Oscar nominee—who is also dad to twins Isabel and Nicolo, 26, and daughter Camilla, 23, with late wife Kate Tucci—has also drawn inspiration from the stars of classic Hollywood, especially when it came to designing his recent clothing line. 

“I think about the way Gene Kelly dressed in those movies in the 1940s and 1950s,” he said. “I mean, come on, that was the coolest thing.”

“Or the way Cary Grant looked dressed in that suit in North By Northwest. The colour of that grey is like the perfect grey,” he added. “Those images are what inspired me, or those of Sidney Poitier in the 1960s, that lean elegance that they had.”
