The first trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 has dropped, pulling audiences back into the high-pressure world of Runway. Two decades after the original film, the characters return in an era where both fashion and media are facing unprecedented upheaval.
Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly remains the ultimate symbol of fashion authority, but this time she’s operating from less secure ground. Print journalism is in decline, and the glamour of old-school publishing clashes with an industry driven by algorithms, clicks, and brand deals. Miranda is no longer untouchable—and that vulnerability makes her more compelling than ever.
Standing opposite her is Emily Blunt’s Emily, no longer the anxious assistant but now a powerful executive within a luxury conglomerate, holding the true currency of the industry: advertising budgets.
Their relationship shifts from rigid hierarchy to a cold, strategic battle of influence. No longer boss and assistant, they are now two women who understand the rules of the game—and know exactly how to bend them.
Of course, The Devil Wears Prada 2 would not exist without Anne Hathaway’s Andrea Sachs. Her return feels less like a cameo and more like the natural evolution of a woman shaped by the lessons—and scars—of her Runway years. The trailer hints at an Andrea who is more self-aware and confident, navigating a world where ambition is no longer taboo but a necessary survival skill.
Visually, the film appears faithful to its original DNA: sharp tailoring, statement outerwear, quiet luxury, and fashion choices that serve the story as much as the spectacle. Stanley Tucci’s return as Nigel further grounds the film, bridging insider fashion expertise with the industry’s human side.
With new cast additions including Lucy Liu, Lady Gaga, Justin Theroux, and Simone Ashley, the sequel seems ready to expand its universe, blending generations, aesthetics, and perspectives. Directed once again by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, the film appears determined to speak to the present rather than simply revisit the past.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
