Get your first look at The Devil Wears Prada 2: Miranda Priestly returns, iconic Milan locations, and the trailer secrets fans are buzzing about
Inside The Devil Wears Prada 2: Release Date, Trailer & First Look
Fashion is fickle, but some stories never go out of style—The Devil Wears Prada is one of them. After a long hiatus, the devil is finally returning to the big screen, with the first official trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 now released. The highly anticipated sequel to David Frankel’s 2006 hit is steadily coming together and is set to premiere in cinemas on 1 May 2026. In recent months, we’ve caught glimpses of it through numerous behind-the-scenes photos, particularly from Milan, including shots during Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring/Summer 2026 show, where a small portion of the filming reportedly took place.
The sequel to the film that most wittily—and with just a touch of exaggeration—captured the inner workings of the fashion world is still in production. As the earliest set photos suggested, the trailer confirms the return of Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep (a Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee for the role), who embarks on a new adventure. Joining her is Andy Sachs, portrayed by Anne Hathaway, along with many other familiar faces. However, there will also be numerous new additions to the cast.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 returns with Miranda and Andy back in action—Milan, fashion drama, and a record-breaking trailer debut
What the First Teaser Trailer of The Devil Wears Prada 2 Reveals About Miranda and Andy
The first teaser clip offers little in the way of plot or new characters. It consists of a single atmospheric scene: fifty seconds starring Miranda Priestly, the editor of Runway, and her former assistant, Andy Sachs.
Miranda is back—and so is Andy, who now seems to be a “big wig” in her own right. The only line exchanged between them is from Miranda (Meryl Streep) to Andy (Anne Hathaway): “Took you long enough.” This line hints at either a rekindled partnership or perhaps a final showdown. What is certain, however, is that the two protagonists now appear more evenly matched, with Andy showing a newfound sense of empowerment—an observation highlighted by GQ Italia. It is no coincidence that they are both now wearing sunglasses.
Miranda Priestly’s Iconic Shoes and the Madonna Soundtrack: The Most Memorable Trailer Moments
The trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 instantly creates intrigue and tension through two key elements:
The music. The brief exchange unfolds as the two enter the elevator, following a scene of Miranda’s footsteps set to the intro of Madonna’s Vogue. As GQ points out, the soundtrack signals a return to a story of glamour and wit, perfectly matching Miranda’s confident stride. Her iconic red shoes encapsulate her authority and fierce spirit, sending a message that resonates beyond the screen.
The footwear. Viewers have also been captivated by the shoes themselves. As the camera follows Miranda’s unmistakable walk through the Runway offices to the elevator, the frame widens to reveal her full outfit: a black top, a pied-de-coq skirt, and a red belt. On her feet are studded red pumps from Valentino Garavani’s Rockstud collection—a signature design introduced in 2010 by then–creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli. This pointed, studded silhouette appeared in black during Piccioli’s Autumn/Winter 2023 Black Tie runway show. It is therefore not a creation by the current creative director of the Roman house, Alessandro Michele (Pierpaolo Piccioli now heads Balenciaga).

From New York to Milan: How The Devil Wears Prada 2 Redefines Fashion and Glamour
It has been nearly 19 years since we last heard anything about the cult classic The Devil Wears Prada—until now, as fans’ long-held anticipation is finally about to be rewarded. But there’s more: in David Frankel’s new comedy-drama, it is Milan’s time to shine. Yes, Milan is having its own Hollywood moment.
In the original The Devil Wears Prada, the story was set in the Big Apple, better known as New York City, primarily across the neighbourhoods of Brooklyn, Soho, and Midtown Manhattan. This time, however, the characters take an eight-hour flight all the way to Milan, Italy, one of the world’s fashion capitals.
The sequel places the Milanese neighbourhood of Brera firmly in the spotlight, with scenes filmed along its famous streets and in front of the Duomo, which had an iconic moment on October 10—a scene rumoured to be one of the film’s most significant.

Rumours have been swirling about a surprising cameo: Lady Gaga is reportedly set to appear in The Devil Wears Prada 2. With part of the film shot in Milan during her Mayhem Ball Tour, speculation is rife that she will play a small role in the movie. The devil meets Gaga—will it be a Bad Romance, or a playful love game between two icons?
