Fashion chills are back. Nearly 20 years after the original, Meryl Streep returns as the icy editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, and Anne Hathaway reprises her role as Andy Sachs in the upcoming sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2. The first official footage gave us a clack of red heels, an elevator reunion and Madonna’s “Vogue” setting the tone—all the fashion-film magic in one moment. It’s like when a Nollywood classic brings back its original cast for a sequel—nostalgia hits and excitement builds.
Hollywood’s fashion world just got a turbo-charged revival. The sequel to the beloved 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada is officially living up to the hype. The first teaser for The Devil Wears Prada 2 dropped on November 12, 2025—just in time to bring chills, glamour and anticipation.
The Teaser Moment
The footage opens on the familiar — red-stiletto heels clicking down the hallway of Runway magazine’s offices, to the soundtrack of Madonna’s “Vogue”, echoing the original’s chic aesthetic.
Miranda Priestly (Streep) enters confidently. Then the elevator doors open. Andy Sachs (Hathaway) steps in. She greets: “Miranda.” The response: “Took you long enough.” That line alone has fans cheering.
Returning Cast & Fresh Faces
Original stars Streep and Hathaway are joined again by Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci—yes, Nigel and Emily are coming back.
New entries include Kenneth Branagh (playing Miranda’s husband), Lucy Liu, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet and Simone Ashley.
When & What to Expect
The movie is slated for May 1, 2026 in theatres—exactly around the 20-year mark from the original film.
Plot details remain under wraps, but a key thread has emerged: Miranda is now facing the challenge of the digital age and a collapsing magazine empire. Emily’s character (Blunt) apparently rises to become a luxury media executive, creating possible tension with Miranda.
Fashion & Set Sneaks
On-set photos have already gone viral. Streep back in her signature white bob, tailored trench coat and sunglasses. Hathaway is stylish and evolved, ditching the newbie look from 2006 for something more seasoned and confident.
And yes — the fashion game looks elevated. This is the sequel where the outfits matter just as much as the drama.
Why This Sequel Matters

Nostalgia & New Growth: We loved Andy’s transformation in the first film. Now we’ll see where she lands almost two decades later.
-
Fashion Meets Drama: In a world where magazines are struggling and influencers rule, the film taps into real-world shifts in media.

Global Alignment
In Nigeria and across Africa, fans of global fashion and film will feel connection. Much like how the remake of a classic Nigerian movie can stir huge conversations, The Devil Wears Prada 2 will likely create water-cooler buzz about role-reversals, career paths and the realities of chasing fashion dreams.
