Miranda Priestly Returns: The Devil Wears Prada 2 Teaser Serves Everything We Deserve and More
Fifteen years after we first watched Andy Sachs fumble through the revolving doors of Runway magazine, clutching her outdated portfolio and utterly oblivious to the difference between cerulean and turquoise, the fashion film that launched a thousand Starbucks runs has returned. Wednesday’s release of The Devil Wears Prada 2 teaser trailer sent shockwaves through the industry faster than you can say “Gabbana.”
The 51-second visual appetizer opens with a shot so iconic it deserves its own editorial spread: red Valentino stilettos—naturally—clicking purposefully across glossy marble floors. Set to Madonna’s seminal 1990 anthem “Vogue” (a choice so meta it hurts), we follow those legendary heels through the caffeine-fueled chaos of editorial offices before the camera pans upward to reveal none other than Miranda Priestly herself, portrayed with devastating precision once again by the incomparable Meryl Streep. The elevator doors slide open, and there stands Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs, creating a visual reunion that’s already generating more buzz than Fashion Week front rows.
Streep, whose Oscar-nominated portrayal of Runway’s tyrannical editor-in-chief became the blueprint for every fashion villain since, returns to cinema after her 2021 appearance in Don’t Look Up. The actress has also committed to thriller Useful Idiots alongside Sigourney Weaver, proving her reign over Hollywood remains as absolute as Priestly’s over the magazine world.
Director David Frankel reunites the dream team, with Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci reprising their roles alongside fresh blood including Kenneth Branagh as Priestly’s new husband—a detail that raises delicious questions about what could possibly tame the dragon lady of fashion journalism. The cast expansion reads like a who’s who of contemporary glamour: Simone Ashley, Rachel Bloom, and Lucy Liu join the masthead, while whispers of cameos from Lady Gaga and Sydney Sweeney have set the rumor mill spinning faster than a sample sale door.
The sequel’s premise couldn’t be more prescient: Priestly navigates the collapsing magazine industry (a reality check every editor knows too intimately), forcing her to reconcile with former assistant Emily, now commanding a luxury brand’s advertising budget. The original 2006 phenomenon, adapted from Lauren Weisberger’s novel, dominated the global box office with $326 million and later manifested as a West End musical.
“None of us expected the meteoric life it would have,” Blunt reflected last September, noting the film’s “deep emotional roots”—particularly poignant given Tucci became her brother-in-law.
Anna Wintour, Vogue’s legendary former editor-in-chief and Priestly’s rumored real-life inspiration, graciously acknowledged the original’s “humour,” “wit,” and Streep’s “amazing” performance, calling it “a fair shot.”
Production has transformed from Brooklyn to Milan into paparazzi playgrounds, while Hathaway prepares for a banner year including David Lowery’s Mother Mary with Michaela Coel and Charli XCX, Verity opposite Dakota Johnson, and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey with Tom Holland and Zendaya.
Summer’s sequel-saturated slate awaits The Devil Wears Prada 2, arriving alongside Scary Movie 6, Toy Story 5, Minions 3, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. But let’s be honest—only one matters.
