😈 It’s a well-known fact that the Devil wears Prada. Stylish, perfectly planned looks, flawless appearance… yes, even the Devil herself would envy Miranda Priestly.
In the worlds of fashion and cinema, The Devil Wears Prada became a cultural touchstone. Released in 2006, the film was a true game-changer. A brilliant cast, impeccable style, a plot full of intrigue, and sharp humor—what more does it take to create a global hit?
Now, almost 20 years later, the story returns to the big screen with fresh energy, new conflicts, and, of course, the hottest fashion moments.

📽 What Happened in the First Film

The film was based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel, largely inspired by her own experience as assistant to Vogue’s legendary editor Anna Wintour. In the story, we follow young journalist Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), who lands a job at the prestigious Runway magazine as assistant to the icy and unshakable Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). Initially clueless about fashion, Andy slowly transforms into an indispensable employee while realizing the high price of the glamorous life and career success.

The movie impressed audiences and became a symbol at the crossroads of fashion and film. Remember the legendary “blue sweater” monologue, where Miranda explains that even the simplest piece of clothing has gone through dozens of stages in the fashion industry?
The impact of The Devil Wears Prada went beyond cinema. In 2025, a stage musical of the same name premiered in London, with music by Elton John.

📰 What to Expect from the Sequel

The official synopsis hasn’t been revealed yet, but it’s known that Miranda Priestly will be at the center. In an era when print media is in decline, she must fight to keep the magazine alive by securing a major advertising deal with a luxury industry giant. The twist? That company’s top executive is her former assistant Emily (Emily Blunt), who’s not in a hurry to help her once-tyrannical boss.

What role Andy Sachs will play this time is still unknown. But it’s clear that the former colleagues will meet again-bringing schemes, humor, and, naturally, spectacular fashion.
The cast will once again feature Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Newcomers include Kenneth Branagh as Miranda’s new husband, along with Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, Simone Ashley, and Pauline Chalamet.

The worldwide premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set for April 30, 2026.

👗 The Film’s Fashion Impact

The first movie’s costumes became a visual manifesto for early 2000s fashion. Costume designer Patricia Field, also behind Sex and the City’s style revolution-managed to capture the world of high fashion in just two hours. Thanks to her, brands like Prada, Chanel, Valentino, and Jimmy Choo weren’t just labels-they were storytelling tools, highlighting character development and transformation.

The Devil Wears Prada influenced not only cinema but also the fashion industry. It became a kind of PR textbook for fashion. Many designers who were relatively unknown at the time gained wide recognition thanks to their presence in the film. It also helped turn classic business attire, especially women’s suits-into a desirable fashion statement rather than just mandatory office wear.

The sequel’s style will likely be overseen by Field’s protégé Molly Rogers (And Just Like That…), known for working with trends loved by the Instagram/TikTok generation. This time, the “Devil” isn’t only wearing Prada on set; we also see Jacquemus, Miu Miu, and other Gen Z favorites, a clear sign the film is aiming to connect with a younger audience.

If it blends new brands and trends as seamlessly as the original did in 2006, the sequel could once again become a style benchmark. But if it focuses too much on hyper-trendy, “social media–friendly” looks, it risks being overshadowed by the fleeting fame of mini-bags and micro-skirts.

Still, the fact remains-The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be a major event not just in film, but in fashion. Every frame, every look, and even every accessory is likely to spark discussion-and send sales soaring.

💬 Online Reactions

Social media has been buzzing for a while. Some fans are thrilled about the return of beloved characters, while others accuse the studio of cashing in on nostalgia. One of the most talked-about moments has been a set photo of Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly holding a pink, rhinestone-covered water bottle.

And of course, humor took over on X (Twitter), users began posting random celebrity photos with captions claiming they were “on the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2.”

If the first film became a style and self-discovery icon for a generation, the sequel will likely show what happens when the same characters try to survive in a world where a glossy magazine cover no longer guarantees reader loyalty.

While we wait for April 2026 and the chance to see The Devil Wears Prada 2 on KinoPark’s big screen, it might be worth revisiting the original-and diving back into the complex yet fascinating dynamic between Miranda and Andy, reliving early 2000s fashion, and indulging in some well-earned nostalgia.
