It's official - a sequel to the hit 2006 film. The Devil Wears Prada, is in the works and the arrival of the musical adaptation in the West End has only got us more excited.

That, and the fact that we happened to sit down with one of its original stars, Stanley Tucci, who revealed the film still has a very special place in his heart - or indeed, his wardrobe.

In an exclusive interview with Good Housekeeping, Stanley, who played Runway magazine's art director, Nigel Kipling, revealed that he still has an item of clothing from the film - and he doesn't keep it hidden in the back of his closet.

What to read next

"I kept one tie from The Devil Wears Prada and still wear it to this day," he reveals.

"It’s by Dries Van Noten and it’s so beautiful – it’s almost like a harlequin pattern with reds, greens and blues, with reds, greens and blues, so it goes with everything."

So will we see it - and him - make a return in the sequel? While Stanley hasn't officially confirmed whether or not he'll star in the film, he has said he'd be open to it.

"I kept one tie and still wear it to this day"

When asked by People if he thought a reunion would be fun, he said: "I don't think fun would be the word. I think we would have one of the best times ever.

"I've made many movies, I've probably made close to 100 movies, and I don't even know how many television episodes, but that experience was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had.

It was just this perfect combination of people, from [director] David [Frankel] to Meryl to Annie, and Emily, who's now my sister-in-law. It's just great."

"It was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had"

In the meantime, Stanley, who lives in London with his wife, Felicity Blunt, and has six children, told us he's busy preparing for Christmas.

"Christmas is a big deal in our house, especially decorating the tree together," he says.

"I love getting all our ornaments out and rediscovering the ones my older kids made when they were younger and the newer ones made by my younger kids."

As for what he'll be watching this Christmas, he's opting for a different kind of classic to his hit film.

"I love everything about the film Oliver! From the choreography to how it’s put together, shot by shot, it’s extraordinary." he says.

"I was about eight years old when I saw it for the first time and it’s one of the movies that inspired me to become an actor. Unfortunately, I can’t sing, so I’ll never do a movie like that!"

At least that makes more time to work on a sequel then...
