The thick, chunky fringe haircut is out, the devil has most probably shed its skin (here’s hoping), and the strolls down the buzzy streets of New York City are as chaotic as ever. According to 20th Century Studios and half of New York, the production of the theatrical masterpiece, Devil Wears Prada 2, is underway and so are the leaks of ‘corpcore’ outfits that has the entire fashion segment on the internet talking.
Yes, Andrea, everybody wants this.
Emily Blunt took to Big Apple’s crowded streets to give us a glimpse of her role as a high-powered executive of a well-heeled luxury group. Other cast members — some old, some new — have not strayed from providing us a direct window into their on-duty wardrobe. The fashion choices in the sequel reflect the enormous transformation that has taken place over the course of 20 years since Devil Wears Prada first released in 2006. As a matter of fact, Andrea Sachs’ “lumpy” cerulean blue sweater from the original film would fit in well with the normcore aesthetic of today.
With the rise of social media and microtrends, the cast seems to be keeping up with the ever-changing nature of fashion all while keeping their individual style intact. Sachs’ streamlined classic workwear is not devoid of a stylish edge and her outfits signal her role at a fashion magazine while being comfortable enough to take her through the haze of endless tasks that her job demands. Think corporate chic button downs and tailored suits that deliver structure and style without being too overbearing.
All said and done, here is everything you need to know about Devil Wears Prada 2 and the best looks spotted on the set, thus far.
Will Devil Wears Prada 2 pick its plot from the book Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns?
The plot of the sequel is still under wraps so it’s difficult to say if part 2 will follow the storyline of the book Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns. The second book was released in 2013 and the media landscape has undergone a drastic transformation in the decade since then. The plot will reportedly revolve around the problems surrounding the survival of a traditional magazine in the face of challenges posed by the digital age.
What is the release date for Devil Wears Prada 2?
Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated for a May 1, 2026 release.
Will Devil Wears Prada 2 stream on Netflix?
Considering that the first part is not on Netflix, it is hard to say that Devil Wears Prada 2 will be available to watch on the streaming service.
Confirmed cast of Devil Wears Prada 2
The primary cast members from the original film who are making a return include Anne Hathaway as Andrea Sachs, Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel. The cast is definitely expanding with newcomers like Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Helen J. Shen, and Conrad Ricamora joining the production.
Best outfits and looks from Devil Wears Prada 2
As much as we hate to have all the looks paraded on our feed months before the release of the movie, all eyes on social media have been on what the cast is going to wear next. From Valentino to Jacquemus, here is your front row seat to the best outfits spotted on the set of Devil Wears Prada 2.

Hathaway took “smart casual” out for a spin in a white Toteme rib tank top, a denim maxi skirt from Agolde and Vintage dad sandals from Chanel. Her choice of accessory? Black Khartoum sunglasses from L.G.R and a newspaper. Her complete outfit cost upwards of USD 1,500.
Hathaway goes monochrome in Jean Paul Gaultier
Hathaway means business in Jean Paul Gaultier’s suit vest and matching trousers. The Theo Chelsea Boots from YSL and the Diamond Toggle Pendant from Jemma Wynne gave her look a luxurious finish. While out on set, she upped the ‘corpcore’ factor of the ensemble with a Vintage Metropolitan Briefcase from Coach. The cost of her matching set is unknown but the remainder of her look is said to be priced at USD 19,400.
Anne Hathaway channels Emily in Paris vibes wearing Gabriela Hearst
Simple yet vibrant, Hathaway opted for a more relaxed vibe in a Niki Patchwork Embroidered Maxi from Gabriela Hearst — a choice perfect for holiday dressing. The actress layered multiple accessories to turn it into a high-fashion moment that is starkly at odds with all the formal looks she has donned so far. As simple as it appears, the price tag on this look is well over USD 51,260, thanks to her understated gold and diamond jewellery. A vacation-friendly summery piece, she paired her maxi dress with Crisscross Strap Platform Sandals from Chloe.
Emily Charlton enters the chat in a Dior-dominated look
No one has probably walked this free in a bustier top and a corset-detailed outfit that is meant to constrict and cinch the body. Her embellished Dior sunglasses and free spirit are proof that Emily has stepped out from the confines of the Runway halls. Matching black mesh sneaker heel from Brandon Blackwood and D-Journey bag in calfskin from Dior completed this ‘girlboss’ look. USD 9,300 is the estimated cost of this outfit.
The devil in Jacquemus
The devil mastered layering in this style-forward fit. She used basic items of a closet to tie together the whole look while playing around with the colour scheme. Her outfit featured Jacquemus slingbacks, blue Max mara trousers, Lauren coat from Sasuphi, and understated jewellery pieces priced at USD 46,370.
Simone Ashley debuts her first look in Dolce & Gabbana
Simone Ashley’s character is not yet known, but her role as a fashion icon most definitely is. On her first day on set, she blurred the lines between workwear and runway-ready in this tapestry dress from Monse and black pointed pumps from Giuseppe Zanotti. Her jewellery was all Cartier and her entire look was well over USD 27,940.
Anne Hathaway takes Phoebe Philo out for a run
With an all-white look balanced with just the right accessories, Andrea Sachs continued running her day-to-day errands in this USD 10,900 outfit that does not compromise on the chic factor.
Another outfit from the Devil Wears Prada set with white as base. Costume designer Molly Rogers used a pleated midi skirt from Sacai and a navy Braided Pump from Gabriela Hearst to add colour and texture to the formal attire. USD 18,478 was the price tag on this outfit.
Ralph Lauren and Valentino make up this business chic look
This office wear formula features the fashion industry’s best and not surprisingly, it is one of the most expensive looks on our list. In an outfit that strikes the right balance between work-appropriate and stylish, Andy Sachs looks like she is heading to the New York Times headquarters and not to her usual Runway office. The estimated cost of this look is said to be over USD 39,100.
Meryl Streep matches the weather in an all-grey office attire
Miranda Priestly runs the biggest fashion magazine and she has the outfits and the demeanour to show for it. Lauren Wool Skirt and a structured Lauren Wool Jacket from Sa Su Phi combined with black sunglasses from Jimmy Choo turned this chic combo into an unforgettable office outfit formula that is easy to copy but difficult to pull off as enigmatically as Meryl Streep.
