The Devil Wears Prada 2

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is the long‑awaited follow‑up to the 2006 hit that turned the fashion world into a comedy‑drama playground. Directed again by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, the film brings back the iconic quartet—Meryl Streep as the legendary Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway as the ever‑resourceful Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as the sharp‑tongued Nigel, and Stanley Tucci as the loyal Nigel’s sidekick. New faces join the mix, including Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Rachel Bloom, and Patrick Bramwell, while Lady Gaga and Donatella Versace make cameo appearances that add extra sparkle.

The story picks up as Miranda is on the brink of retirement, and Andy is called back to Runway to help navigate a shifting media landscape. Their reunion is complicated by the arrival of Emily Charlton, a former assistant turned rival who now heads a luxury brand with the capital to keep Runway afloat. The film balances sharp wit with heartfelt moments, exploring themes of legacy, ambition, and the relentless pace of the fashion industry.

Fans of the original will appreciate the return of the beloved characters and the nods to the 2006 film’s iconic scenes. The sequel’s humor is still sharp, but it also dives deeper into the emotional stakes of a woman who has spent her life in the spotlight. Those who love fashion, satire, and a mix of comedy and drama will find plenty to enjoy. If you’re not a fan of the first film’s tone or the high‑fashion setting, you might find the movie a bit too stylized or niche.

The movie runs for 119 minutes and was shot across Manhattan, Milan, and Newark, giving it a truly international feel. The soundtrack features a house‑pop track “Runway” by Lady Gaga and Doechii, which was highlighted in the second trailer. Speaking of trailers, the first teaser broke records with 181.5 million views in its first 24 hours, and the full trailer racked up 222 million views—making it the most‑watched trailer in 20th Century Studios history.

The film premiered at Lincoln Center in New York on April 20, 2026, with a live‑stream on Disney+ and Hulu, and had a London premiere on April 22. With a budget of $100 million, it’s clear that the studio poured significant resources into bringing this stylish, witty, and emotionally resonant story to life. If you’re a fan of sharp dialogue, glamorous settings, and a touch of corporate rivalry, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is definitely worth a watch.
