### New York City — The Fashion Capital Returns

Most of the film was shot across Manhattan, and production didn’t shy away from iconic addresses.

**1221 Avenue of the Americas** reprised its role from the original as the exterior of the fictional Elias-Clarke building — and when filming resumed there in July 2025, it drew massive crowds of fans and onlookers, something that never happened with the first film.

The **American Museum of Natural History** stood in (again) for the Metropolitan Museum of Art during a major Met Gala-style sequence. Production designer Jess Gonchor later described it as “a mob scene” on set.

**Hudson Yards** makes its debut in the sequel, with scenes shot near the 34th Street station. A Runway-themed pop-up at 20 Hudson Yards in April 2026 even drew hundreds of fans ahead of release. **Central Park** also featured in August 2025 shoots, while **Bubby’s in Tribeca** — a New York institution — served as another key location where Anne Hathaway was spotted on set.

The fictional Runway offices themselves were built as sets at **Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens** — eight times larger than those built for the 2006 original.
