Devil Wears Prada 2 Is Official: Revisiting Characters That We Adored & Envied

Before Instagram glamorised fashion careers, The Devil Wears Prada gave us a raw, dramatised peek into the world of glossy magazines and the grit it takes to survive them. With lofty dreams and relentless pressures of the fashion industry, this story was a captivating mix of ambition, style, and outrageous expectations. It’s one of those movies you can’t help but revisit time and again, watching the iconic characters’ style statements and sharp humour. 

Based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel of the same name, The Devil Wears Prada is considered a pop-culture phenomenon. Every character and plot twist is masterfully crafted and filled with just the right amount of drama to keep you hooked. After much anticipation and speculation, the sequel to this iconic movie is set to premiere on 1st May 2026.   

As we eagerly await the sequel, let’s take a moment to revisit the world of unforgettable characters and the unique style statements that make them truly iconic.

Andrea Sachs

Andy, played by Anne Hathaway, begins her journey as a fashion sceptic, dismissing style and the magazine industry as superficial trappings. As the storyline progresses, Andy showcases a remarkable transformation in her style that is central to her character’s journey. Her early wardrobe –practical but ill-fitting sweaters, button-downs, and uninspired skirts – mirrors her disinterest in the world she’s reluctantly entered.  But as she immerses herself in the world of Runway, her wardrobe transforms, reflecting her deepening understanding of fashion’s nuance and power. Among the most memorable looks? The striking emerald coat lined with leopard print, her iconic tweed blazer, or the iconic pairing of Chanel boots with a green crochet Fendi bag.

Miranda Priestly

Miranda Priestly, brilliantly portrayed by Meryl Streep, emerges as a formidable force in the male-dominated world of business. Her character defies stereotypes and challenges conventional expectations of women in power. In the film, she is undeniably a fashion powerhouse, commanding her office with an air of authority in striking silver hair, sharp pinstriped suits, oversized sunglasses, and opulent fur coats. As editor-in-chief, she embodies influence and sophistication, with an impeccable sense of style that speaks volumes without saying a word.

Emily Charlton

Emily, played by Emily Blunt, brings a bold, avant-garde edge to the fashion landscape of the film. Her style is daring and fashion-forward – experimental textures, unexpected silhouettes, and striking colour pairings that reflect the high-stakes world she inhabits as Miranda Priestly’s senior assistant. Accessories like belts and jewellery add personality to her outfits, while her sculptural tops and structured garments add drama and flair to her look. Her perfectly styled auburn hair and dramatic makeup complete the ensemble, making Emily a sartorial force in her own right.

Nigel

Nigel, played by Stanley Tucci, is presented as a chic and suave figure, perfectly embodying his role as the creative director at Runway magazine. He struts through the fashion world in impeccably tailored checkered suits, often cloaked in deep, rich hues that command attention. Crisp white shirts act as a pristine canvas for his flair, while pocket squares and bold statement rings inject personality into every look. With stylish glasses perched on his nose, Nigel effortlessly channels the polished elegance of a true fashion connoisseur.

With its bold mix of ruthlessness and undeniably charming characters, The Devil Wears Prada has etched its place in our memories and the fashion world forever. It not only exceeded our expectations but also redefined the genre, leaving us eagerly anticipating a sequel that can match its brilliance.
