20 years after the belts of cerulean blue defined a generation, the “Runway” gang is back. 20th Century Studios has officially dropped the first trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2, confirming that Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are returning to the cutthroat halls of high fashion. Set to debut exclusively in theaters on May 1, 2026, the sequel reunites the original cast with director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna for a story that proves some rivalries never go out of style.
The trailer teases a high-stakes shift in the fashion landscape — Miranda Priestly is facing the harsh reality of a declining print industry and is forced to confront her former assistant, Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), who is now a formidable power player at a luxury conglomerate. Adding to the tension is the return of Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), no longer the “smart fat girl” assistant but a confident media force in her own right. The footage highlights a running gag where Miranda seemingly fails to remember Andy’s name—a subtle nod to their complicated past.
The sequel also introduces a massive ensemble of new faces, including Kenneth Branagh (playing Miranda’s newest husband), Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, and Justin Theroux. While the industry has moved into the digital age, the sharp-tongued wit and “gird your loins” intensity remain unchanged. For fans who have spent two decades quoting the original, May 1 marks the ultimate homecoming to the world where everyone wants to be them.
