The sequel to the 2006 fashion film hit theaters after months of anticipation. Centering on the fictional magazine Runway, it features returning stars Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs. Costume designer Molly Rogers crafted outfits highlighting power suiting, shine, and vacation styles.
New York — The Devil Wears Prada 2 has landed in theaters, bringing back the high-stakes world of Runway magazine two decades after the original. Directed with costumes by Molly Rogers, known from And Just Like That, the film showcases Miranda Priestly in skirt suits and power tailoring, while Andy Sachs embraces modern suiting and sequined gowns like a Paco Rabanne masterpiece in deep blue. Standout pieces include a custom red Balenciaga gown and a pearl-dropped Dries Van Noten coat for Streep's character, blending cinematic flair with wearable trends from spring/summer 2026 runways. Andy Sachs returns as features editor amid a PR crisis at Runway's parent company. Having pursued investigative journalism, including three-part Federal Reserve probes, she aims to restore the magazine's image through serious stories and blog posts. The plot sees her touring the fashion closet with Nigel, played by Stanley Tucci, for a Hamptons trip, and attending events like Irv Ravitz's 75th birthday. A real-life Vogue features editor, after attending a screening this week, noted some uncanny parallels to office life despite the film's exaggerations. “Did they bug our offices?” a colleague whispered, struck by details like printed pieces with handwritten notes and glass-walled offices. However, realities diverge sharply: features editors avoid fashion closets, do not travel as accessories with top editors, and prioritize concise questions over constant hovering. The editor emphasized that Vogue work fosters lasting friendships, countering the film's more dramatic tone.
