After the original movie, fans had a lot to say about the ending, some even started petitions to remake it. The buzz continued over the years, every time that the movie came up to the discussion. What about Andy and Miranda ? What happened ? And then is when The Devil Wears Prada 2 flickered onto screens to hopefully turn over fan’s opinions. In less than a minute, the teaser reignited a cultural flame that had been quietly smoldering for two decades.
It begins with a sound we all recognize: stilettos slicing through the silence of Runway’s immaculate halls. Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly glides back into frame, dressed in authority and those unmistakable red heels, a silhouette as iconic today as it was in 2006. Interspersed, clips of the movie mix excitement. Runaways, couture, parties, stylists and a show are the little clips that hook the audience.
She reaches the elevator. The doors part. And there she is, Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs, again making room (literally) to fit into the elevator on her side . Miranda barely pauses: “Took you long enough.” Andy answers with a small, knowing smile, sliding on her sunglasses like she never really left. Fifty-two seconds.
The sequel brings back the original team, with director David Frankel returning to steer the ship through the new chaos of a very different fashion world. This time, the battlefield isn’t just sample closets and editorial politics, it’s survival in an industry crushed by the collapse of print, AI and new technologies. Miranda, ever the commander, now faces a contemporary threat: Emily Charlton, once her frantic assistant, now a high-powered executive controlling the advertising empires Runway desperately needs.
Hathaway, Blunt, Streep, and Stanley Tucci headline a cast that blends legacy with fresh faces, including Kenneth Branagh and Simone Ashley. The film promises more than nostalgia; it aims to dissect the brutality of reinvention, the glamour of ambition, and the unglamorous reality of staying relevant in a world that scrolls faster than it reads.
The original film, based on Lauren Weisberger’s bestseller, became a cultural cornerstone, part coming of age story, part love letter, part quiet indictment. It grossed over $300 million and embedded itself into everyday language; “That’s all” became both punchline and prophecy.
Now, The Devil Wears Prada 2 approaches with that same sharpness, but shaded by twenty more years of digital chaos. Power is no longer just in the editor’s office, it’s in metrics, algorithms, and the hands of audiences who swipe more than they obey.
Yet the teaser suggests one eternal truth: fashion may die, reinvent itself, rise again, but Miranda Priestly remains unbeatable. The Devil Wears Prada 2 arrives May 1, 2026.
