Nearly two decades after The Devil Wears Prada became a cultural phenomenon, Miranda Priestly is back, and she’s still making people sweat. The first trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 has dropped, reuniting Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci for a sequel that trades the glossy perfection of early-2000s print fashion for the chaos of the digital age.
The trailer opens with Streep’s Miranda sweeping through a sleek, glass-walled office that feels more Silicon Valley than Runway magazine. Her signature poise hasn’t changed, but the world around her has. The age of print media is collapsing, and Miranda, once untouchable, now faces an industry where clicks, algorithms, and influencers wield the power she once held. The film’s setup is clear: what happens when the woman who defined taste must fight to stay relevant in a landscape that no longer bends to her?
Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs also returns, but she’s not the fresh-faced assistant anymore. The trailer shows her as a successful digital entrepreneur who re-enters Miranda’s orbit for a new venture. Their reunion crackles with tension, the dynamic reversed: Andy now holds influence that Miranda needs. Emily Blunt’s Emily Charlton is back as well, sharper and more formidable than ever, and Stanley Tucci’s Nigel once again serves as the voice of wit and reason amid the madness.
New to the cast is Kenneth Branagh as Miranda’s husband, a detail that adds an unexpected layer of vulnerability to the famously cold editor. The teaser hints at cracks in Miranda’s personal life, paralleling the instability of the industry she once commanded.
The original 2006 film captured the push and pull between ambition and identity, set against a backdrop of couture and chaos. This sequel looks ready to tackle the same theme from a different angle. Instead of a young assistant trying to find herself, it’s about what happens when power ages and whether reinvention is possible without losing what made you iconic.
Director David Frankel returns to helm the sequel, with original screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna contributing to the script. The visuals retain the style of the first film: elegant, sharp, and rich in detail, but the tone feels more introspective. Gone are the montages of Paris Fashion Week; in their place are glimpses of streaming launches, influencer collaborations, and Miranda’s disapproving glare at a TikTok runway show.
The teaser doesn’t give away much, but it does make one thing clear: this isn’t just nostalgia. It’s a generational face-off between the old guard of high fashion and the new digital elite. With Streep and Hathaway reprising one of cinema’s most electric mentor-protégé dynamics, The Devil Wears Prada 2 seems poised to mix sharp humor with a sobering look at how quickly influence fades.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters on May 1, 2026. Until then, one thing’s certain: Miranda Priestly will make sure the fashion world knows she’s still the standard, no matter how many algorithms try to outdress her.
