The Devil Wears Prada 2 Trailer Drops—and Andy Sachs Is Back on the Runway
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt return as Miranda, Andy, and Emily 20 years after the first film was released
Grab your cerulean sweaters and emotional support tote bags—The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially happening.
20th Century Studios has released the first full trailer for the long-awaited sequel, reuniting Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci nearly 20 years after the original film defined an entire generation’s relationship with work, fashion, and toxic bosses we swore we’d never become (but maybe… did?). The film hits theaters May 1, 2026, and yes, millennials are already seated.
Andy Sachs Returns to Runway
The trailer opens with a familiar voice: Nigel (Stanley Tucci), narrating Runway magazine’s cultural dominance—because if anyone gets to explain fashion’s chokehold on society, it’s him.
Then comes the moment: Andrea “Andy” Sachs (Anne Hathaway) walking back into the Runway building. Cue collective millennial goosebumps.
She reunites with Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) and Nigel, who delivers the perfectly cutting line: “Look what T.J. Maxx dragged in.”
Miranda, initially failing to recognize Andy (classic), needs a refresher—Nigel reminds her Andy was once “one of the Emilys.”
But this isn’t the Andy we left behind.
We learn that Andy has returned to Runway as a features editor, stepping back into fashion with authority, perspective, and likely a therapist on speed dial. She crosses paths with Emily (Emily Blunt)—now running a powerful retail company that Runway is actively courting as the magazine navigates a rapidly shifting media landscape.
Emily, still gloriously unfiltered, clocks Andy immediately: “You’re more confident. Kept those eyebrows though, didn’t you?”
Some things never change—and thank God.
The trailer also teases the fashion moments we expect: bold silhouettes, power tailoring, and outfits that will absolutely reignite debates about whether stilettos are worth it (they’re not, but we’ll try anyway).
A Reunion Decades in the Making
Ahead of the trailer’s release, Vogue published an article that revealed more about the sequel’s emotional and cultural stakes. Runway is struggling to stay relevant in today’s media ecosystem—making Emily’s role and retail empire more crucial than ever.
Anne Hathaway described the reunion as deeply meaningful: “Everyone who was physically able to come back did… we started with such a deep knowledge and appreciation for the last 20 years.”
Emily Blunt, meanwhile, said slipping back into Emily Charlton felt a little too easy: “This character seems to be the glove that fits rather too easily for me. She’s a lunatic.”
She also shared how special it was reuniting with Hathaway: “There’s something delicious about a character where the guardrails are off… Annie is an excellent dance partner.”
Stanley Tucci echoed the sentiment, saying returning as Nigel was a no-brainer: “There was a good deal of Nigel in me… and especially in this film, the costumes are so integral to the character.”
Millennials Have Been Waiting for This
Fans have been begging for a sequel for years—wanting to know what happened to Andy after she walked away from Miranda and chose herself. Earlier this year, those wishes were finally answered when the sequel was officially announced.
Since then, leaked set photos, behind-the-scenes clips, and even Meryl Streep’s surprise appearance at a fashion show in Italy have fueled anticipation. Anne Hathaway sent fans into a spiral in July when she posted herself in a cerulean sweater, casually captioning it that she was heading to “werk.”
We noticed. Obviously.
Get the Heels Ready
While we still have a few months to wait, one thing is clear: The Devil Wears Prada is about to have a second life—this time with an audience that’s older, wiser, and probably watching between school drop-offs and work meetings.
Back then, we rooted for Andy as she found her voice. Now, as parents juggling careers, ambition, and burnout, we might see a little more of Miranda in ourselves than we’d like to admit. And honestly?
That’s fashion. That’s growth. That’s cinema.
