Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway reunite after 20 years in the follow-up comedy of The Devil Wears Prada (2006). The much-anticipated sequel has just dropped its first teaser, and this looks ‘sizzling’.
The two Oscar-winning actors are back to reprise their antagonistic roles once again, and here’s the proof that we got in The Devil Wears Prada 2 teaser.
Plot details of The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026)
The original 2006 comedy was based on a novel authored by Lauren Weisberger that revolved around a fictional character, Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep). She was the dictatorial magazine editor who wanted everything meticulously perfect.
This time, the story centers on Miranda Priestly as she navigates the collapse of the magazine print industry. Forced to confront a changing world, she must rebuild a critical alliance with her former assistant, Emily (Emily Blunt), who now leads a major luxury brand—and controls the advertising budget Miranda desperately needs.
Emily has turned into Priestly’s rival executive, and they compete for the advertising revenue, whereas Miranda is struggling with her impending retirement as well. Watch the teaser here:
What can we infer from The Devil Wears Prada 2 teaser?
In the 2006 film, Anne Hathaway played the role of Andy Sachs, a recent graduate who managed to get a job at Vogue. The demanding editor-in-chief is now seen standing in the elevator with her assistant, to whom Miranda says, “Took you long enough”.
Andy can’t help but smile, carrying herself with a newfound confidence. She slips on her glasses—mirroring Miranda’s signature look and perhaps hinting at a shift in her own status. What it truly means will only be revealed when the film premieres. The teaser ends with just the two of them standing in the elevator as the doors quietly slide shut.
Streep’s girl-boss iconic hairstyle and the clacking red heels drew the most attention, and we even get a glimpse of other parts of the film as she walks in her glamorous shoes towards the elevator.
The film is also loosely influenced by the life of a former media executive, Anna Wintour, an ex-editor-in-chief of Vogue. The Guardian penned her thoughts about the original film as:
“It had a lot of humour to it. It had a lot of wit. It had Meryl Streep. I mean, it was Emily Blunt, [and] they were all amazing. In the end, I thought it was a fair shot.” [Source]
The audience will have to wait until the release of the full official trailer, which will help us understand more about the storyline. We desperately need to know where all these characters have been all these years and what’s going on in their lives. How the characters evolved over time will be a fascinating twist, along with the transition in the fashion industry over a span of two decades.
Another enchanting plot in this dramedy will be seeing Emily on top of her game now. Being Miranda’s opponent now, what cheeky marketing moves she follows and how she wins in the fashion industry will be revolutionary.
The 2006 feature film earned a solid reputation, securing a 7.0 rating on IMDb and a 75% score on Rotten Tomatoes. With such well-established acclaim, the bar has been set high. Now, the big question is whether the sequel can surpass those numbers, both in critical reception and audience love.
There are no details about Lady Gaga and Sydney Sweeney‘s cameos. However, we speculate they will be short but explosively memorable. The two appearances might add an extra layer of excitement, blending the classic elegance of Prada with modern pop-culture edge.
Will nostalgia, fresh storytelling, and the return of iconic characters give The Devil Wears Prada 2 the momentum it needs to outperform its predecessor? Only time—and the reviews—will tell.
