The fashion world’s fiercest editor and her former assistant are stepping back into the spotlight. The first teaser trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 has dropped, reuniting Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs after nearly two decades. The highly anticipated sequel is set to strut into theaters on May 1, 2026, and the short glimpse already sends a clear message: the runway of power has widened, but the stakes remain as sharp as ever.
The teaser opens with an unmistakable sound: the click of ruby-red stiletto heels echoing through a sleek office hallway. Plates of couture, cameras flashing red-carpet glamour, champagne bottles popping — the atmosphere is pure elite fashion. Viewers soon recognize the figure striding forward: Miranda Priestly, clad in her signature houndstooth skirt, black blouse and dark shades that shield both her gaze and her power. As she steps into an elevator, a hand slips in right behind her door — Andy Sachs has arrived. She greets Miranda with a quiet “Miranda,” and the response, in that icy yet familiar tone, is simply: “Took you long enough.” That brief exchange ignites a rush of nostalgia while hinting at a transformed dynamic: mentor and former protégé now step into the same space.
While the teaser runs for under a minute, the tone is unmistakably bold: Miranda has returned, the fashion machine is still whirring, but threats loom. The world of print magazines is changing, luxury brands are battling for relevance, and alliances that once made sense may now shift. Audiences are teased with a new generation of characters poised to join the fray — with names like Kenneth Branagh rumored to be playing Miranda’s husband, and others like Lucy Liu, B.J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet reported as new faces in the elite magazine and brand world. Meanwhile, stalwarts from the original film such as Emily Blunt (Emily Charlton) and Stanley Tucci (Nigel Kipling) are confirmed to return, ensuring continuity of tone, character, and style.
The original The Devil Wears Prada (2006) became more than a hit film — it entered the cultural lexicon. A sharp adaptation of Lauren Weisberger’s novel, it followed Andy Sachs’s rise from naïve assistant to fashion-world insider while serving Miranda’s ruthless demands. Streep earned an Academy Award nomination for her performance, and the film grossed over $320 million worldwide. Its influence extended well beyond the screen, turning statements like “That’s all” and the red-heels click into pop-culture shorthand. Now, nearly 20 years later, the sequel appears poised to deliver the same mix of wit, style and character tension — updated for a media landscape where print appears old school and brands battle algorithms.
Behind the scenes, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is shepherded by director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna — both of whom returned to guide this next chapter. Their involvement ensures that the tone will remain grounded in character while embracing the high-stakes world of luxury publishing and brand power. Production began mid-2025, and the teaser confirms that the film is now in full motion. The brief visual indicates a soundtrack nod — Madonna’s “Vogue” plays in the background — bridging nostalgia and contemporary vibe even in the trailer’s opening moments.
Social-media reaction has been swift and enthusiastic. Fans celebrated the reunion of Miranda and Andy, remarking on how much the teaser felt both like the original and like something new. One viewer noted how “Miranda actually stepping aside for Andy” felt like a moment of transformation. Others compared the imagery of power and fashion to modern cultural shifts in media and luxury, speculating whether the sequel will lean more into brand influence or digital disruption. The elevator scene alone sparked thousands of posts, memes, and comments on color-coded sunglasses, high-heels and the meaning of career reinvention.
What’s next? Full trailer of The Devil Wears Prada 2 release, poster drops, and details on the new characters will arrive in due course. For now, the teaser has done its job: reminding audiences why the first film mattered, while opening a new chapter that feels sharper, more relevant and as stylish as ever.
As the countdown to May 1, 2026 continues, The Devil Wears Prada 2 stands out as one of next year’s most stylish and anticipated returns. With its mix of legacy characters, fresh faces and a story built around change in a changing world, the film promises to serve something more than fashion — it aims to reflect ambition, identity and what it means to stay relevant in a world where even the highest heels might falter. For longtime fans and new audiences alike, the wardrobe of power has been hung up again — and the runway is ready.
