Get your white Prada bag out and polish those Prada earrings, as The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially filming in New York City! Yes, you read that right. It’s been 20 years since the original movie took the world by storm, and now, the sequel is on the way. At Dapper Diary, we are drooling over Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway’s first looks from the set of The Devil Wears Prada. Miranda’s words of wisdom, “Don’t be ridiculous, Andrea. Everybody wants this. Everybody wants to be us” has been living rent-free in my mind for the past two decades. We are so ready for couture, drama, and sizzling hot iconic moments.
Filming is underway and scheduled to hit theaters on May 1st, 2026. Therefore, if you’re still obsessed with Anne Hathaway’s Devil Wears Prada moments, get ready for a whole new case of fashion hysteria with a dash of chic!

If you loved The Devil Wears Prada film cast, you’ll be thrilled to know that the OG queens are back! Their stilettos are sharper, their shade is cooler, and their entrances are still absolutely everything. It’s a masterclass in fashion, power, and perfectly timed eye-rolls.
And yes, the characters may have aged, but from the looks of the set photos, Meryl Streep and Anne Hataway (as some fans still lovingly misspell it) are completely ageless!
Joining the Devil Wears Prada cast are some fresh and exciting names. Can they spell Gabbana? Time will tell! We are seeing an emergence of exceptional talent from stage, screen, and comedy. This new lineup brings a modern edge to the iconic world of the beloved Devil Wears Prada universe.
Even Bridgerton star Simone Ashley has been spotted filming on set, dressed to impress alongside Chalamet.
Much of the filming is taking place right in the heart of New York City. The shooting is staying true to the original film’s high-fashion setting. Anne Hathaway was seen on set wearing a cream jumpsuit and chic black flats, paired with gold accessories and dark sunglasses.
Meryl Streep—sorry, Merly Streep, as she’s known in meme-land—was also spotted in a brown leather skirt, purple blouse, and trench coat. Truly, Miranda Priestly never misses when it comes to her fashion choices. We’re excited to see our favorite characters already decked out in major luxury designer brands such as Gabriela Hearst, Jean Paul Gaultier, Chanel, and, of course, Prada!
According to IMDb, the sequel will follow:
“Miranda Priestly’s struggle against Emily Charlton, her former assistant turned rival executive, as they compete for advertising revenue amidst declining print media while Miranda nears retirement.”
Sounds like She-Devil meets Succession, but make it fashion. There’s also buzz about a major plot twist hinted at by Anne Hathaway herself. Is Andy Sachs returning to Runway magazine? One scene showed her carrying a bag with “Runway” written on it, sparking fan theories. Could Miranda be calling her back?
In the original movie, Anne’s character dated Nate, played by Adrian Grenier. However, Grenier is not returning this time around for The Devil Wears Prada 2. Instead, we are going to get Patrick Brammall as Andy’s new love interest. This has fans wondering, will this be a glow-up relationship, or more heartbreak in designer heels?
Fans couldn’t help but notice the details from set photos. From Prada earrings to the white Prada bag, it’s clear the costume designers are not holding back. You can say goodbye to the cerulean sweater and early 2000s fashion. We are excited to see power suits, trench coats, and the kind of fashion that belongs on the cover of Runway magazine. Even Meryl Streep was seen holding a sparkly water bottle on set, sparking debate online. Some fans were outraged, claiming, “Miranda would never!” But hey, even Miranda Priestly needs hydration in a sparkly bottle, because that’s such a Gen Z thing to do!
David Frankel, who directed the original The Devil Wears Prada movie in 2006, is also back in the director’s chair for the sequel. That’s right, we are glad to report that this isn’t just a reboot. It’s a true continuation of a fashion legacy, and as they say, “When your whole life goes up in smoke, it means it’s time for a promotion.”
The first Devil Wears Prada movie was a massive hit, making over $326 million on a budget of around $35–$41 million. It earned two Oscar nominations, including Best Actress for Meryl Streep, plus five BAFTA and three Golden Globe nominations. Streep even won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy. Now, with the original cast returning and new stars joining the ranks, the sequel is set to make just as big an impact.
No matter how you search for it, The Devil Wears Prada, The Devil Wears a Prada, or simply “that fashion movie,” one thing’s certain: Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep are back! The sharp wit, unforgettable fashion, and behind-the-scenes drama that made it a cultural classic are ready for round two. With Anne Hathaway’s Devil Wears Prada style, BJ Novak’s wit, and Meryl Streep’s unmatched screen presence, May 2026 simply can’t come fast enough. You can bookmark Dapper Diary for all the latest updates, behind-the-scenes exclusives, and fan theories on The Devil Wears Prada 2. Because, as Miranda would say, “That’s all.”
