Fashion film lovers, gather your stilettos and strap in the highly anticipated sequel to the 2006 classic The Devil Wears Prada has officially given us our first look. Here’s everything you need to know. The trailer opens with the unmistakable click clack of red high heels echoing down a long hallway a clear reference to the iconic shoes from the original film. Next a shot of Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly striding with authority, then the doors of an elevator open and in steps Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs. The first lines
Andy: “Miranda.”
Miranda: “Took you long enough.”
The classic song Vogue by Madonna (which featured famously in the original) plays over the trailer, instantly setting a glam-fashion mood and also signalling the sequel’s self awareness. The “hook” of the teaser: It’s less about revealing full plot details and more about evoking the mood style, power plays, the world of fashion, and return of characters we loved (and feared). The official materials describe Miranda is facing the decline of traditional magazine publishing and must contend with Andy (now older, wiser) and other new players in the fashion/luxury world.
The original film captured that balance between glossy fashion fantasy and workplace satire, centred on Miranda’s icy perfectionism and Andy’s journey from naive assistant to conflicted insider. This sequel appears to step into a more contemporary world magazines are under threat, traditional publishing is changing, the power dynamics are shifting. For us bloggers writing about fashion, beauty, pop culture and the politics of luxury this is rich terrain. Bringing back the original stars (Streep, Hathaway) plus familiar supporting players (e.g., Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, Stanley Tucci as Nigel) gives it authenticity and nostalgia. At the same time, the new cast and industry shift promise fresh drama. How exactly will Andy’s role have evolved? From assistant to what editor, brand executive, something else? The quotes hint at her being “better equipped” along with the fashion world’s high stakes shifts. Where does Miranda go from here? Her empire was unshakeable before now she’s in a world that doesn’t bend so easily. How will she adapt, tempt, dominate or be challenged? The fashion will undoubtedly be spectacular (and so will the wardrobe commentary) but will the sequel still have the biting edge of the original, or will it lean more glossy-fantasy? For our niche (fashion / beauty /Entertainment) what new fashion moments will this film spark? Icon moments, quotes, red carpet looks, costume reveals. This teaser already rebooted the red heels motif. Finally, how will the cultural context change the tone? The original came out when fashion magazines were titans now there’s social media, influencer culture, digital disruption big potential themes.
