Miranda Is Still The Moment In The Devil Wears Prada 2 Teaser

Fashion may have moved on, but Miranda's entrance proves one thing: the devil doesn't do retirement.

In the latest The Devil Wears Prada 2 teaser, which is barely even a minute long, Miranda Priestly’s heels are clicking again—and somewhere, the fashion magazine writer in me just sat up straighter. Since the teaser dropped, and for a brief, glittering moment, the internet has remembered how to live. Forget Barbie, forget Mean Girls 2—this is the sequel.

And it’s here. Finally.

The clip opens on a shot that could resurrect the dead: the glacial, terrifying stomp of a woman who has never once missed a lunch reservation or a deadline. A pair of crimson Valentino heels slicing through the Runway offices. The camera pans up, and there she is—Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly, in her natural habitat, a glossy black-white-and-red ensemble that screams “don’t talk to me.” Before the elevator doors shut, a manicured hand slips through. Enter Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs—older, sharper, sunglasses on. Miranda barely blinks. “Took you long enough,” she purrs. Andy smirks.

“Vogue” by Madonna plays to the less-than-minute-long teaser trailer, a hat tip to the fact that it has long been believed that Runway is based on Vogue and the Miranda character is based on Anna Wintour, the magazine’s famed former top editor.

The doors close.

Two Decades Later—and She’s Still the Moment

It’s been almost 20 years since The Devil Wears Prada landed in the theatres. The film made $326 million, launched a thousand memes, and canonised Streep’s Miranda as the ice queen of fashion folklore. Now, in 2026, she’s back—but the battlefield has changed. Runway’s print empire is crumbling, the “clackers” have been replaced by influencers, and digital media has swallowed the gloss whole.

Miranda, still terrifyingly poised, must now face the apocalypse of her own industry. Her survival depends on one woman: Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt, still razor-edged, still perfect), now the head of a luxury conglomerate with the ad dollars Miranda desperately needs. The once-assistant is now the power player and it’s delicious symmetry. Andy, meanwhile, is back in Miranda’s orbit, though this time, she’s not fetching lattes—she’s bringing leverage.

In other words, the reckoning is here.

The Return of the Fashion Mafia

The film’s entire holy quartet is back—Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci (because no one pours scalding wisdom like Nigel). Director David Frankel is returning too, which means the film will likely have the same crisp, cruel charm of the original.

The new recruits are no less A-list. Kenneth Branagh joins as Miranda’s husband (a man brave enough to marry that woman? Godspeed). Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet are all in, along with Patrick Brammall—replacing Adrian Grenier as Andy’s love interest, because no one wanted to see Nate’s sad sandwiches again. Rumour also has it that Lady Gaga and Sydney Sweeney will cameo, which feels appropriately chaotic.

The Fashion, The Fury, The Future

If the teaser’s anything to go by, The Devil Wears Prada 2 isn’t chasing nostalgia—it’s sharpening it. The fashion world Miranda once ruled by fear now runs on likes, metrics, and “content.” What happens when an icon of print meets a world run by TikTokers? Imagine Miranda’s deadpan reaction to a fashion influencer unboxing “Runway’s latest collab.” She’d need a martini and a tranquiliser dart.

There’s poetic irony here, too. The film that once skewered the culture of glossy magazines now finds itself dissecting their extinction. Lauren Weisberger’s 2013 sequel novel, Revenge Wears Prada, played with that tension—Andy running her own magazine, Miranda returning like a couture ghost. If the film borrows even half that premise, we’re in for the power play of the decade.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Prada without fashion as foreplay. Costume designer Patricia Field hasn’t been confirmed yet, but whoever’s behind those looks deserves a raise. Between Andy’s tailored trench and Miranda’s red stilettos, the teaser is a pure treat. If the original gave us cerulean sweaters and Chanel boots, this one feels dipped in vintage Gaultier.

More importantly, it feels like closure. Andy’s no longer the doe-eyed intern; Miranda’s no longer untouchable. The hierarchy’s blurred, the power dynamic’s reversed, and the elevator doors are closing on a new chapter.

So, What’s Next?

The film hits theatres May 1, 2026.

And as for the rest of us? We’ll just be here, pretending to work while replaying the teaser on loop. Because, really—what else could possibly be more important?
