Hollywood icons return: The Devil Wears Prada 2” is here!

A touch of glamor enters the cinemas! The long-awaited sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada” will be released in cinemas in the USA on May 1, 2026 and in Germany on April 30, 2026. After a long wait, fans can look forward to the return of Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, reprising their iconic roles. Streep will once again portray the feared fashion czar Miranda Priestly, while Hathaway will appear in the role of Andy Sachs. The teaser impressively shows how the two protagonists meet in an elevator, with Priestly speaking to the unsuspecting Andy with the words “About time.”

But it's not just the main actors who bring a breath of fresh air. Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are also back in their popular roles, while Kenneth Branagh is new to the cast as Priestly's husband. Filming for the sequel began a few months ago, and the first teaser was released on November 12, 2025. The trailer, which is set to the iconic song "Vogue" by Madonna, shows how secretary Andy once again acts alongside the powerful Miranda, while we can admire her fashion escapades in the offices of the fictional magazine Runway. The entire atmosphere is characterized by the glamor that we already know from the first film, which hit the big screen in 2003 and is based on the bestseller by Lauren Weisberger, who worked as personal assistant to Anna Wintour and was the inspiration for these characters.

Fashion and film – an inseparable connection

When it comes to fashion in movies, The Devil Wears Prada is no exception. The influence of films on fashion and lifestyle is huge, and this sequel speaks to a new generation. Movie costumes tell stories, capture moods and shape what we wear. Whether it's a return to vintage fashion or the latest designer trends, films are an indispensable part of the global fashion industry. As the website kultur-news.net reports, costume designers work closely with designers to bring the characters visually to life. Every style choice in the film can set trends and influence what is worn on the streets.

An example of this was the first film to highlight the glamor and challenges of a young woman in the fashion world. The return of this story suggests that The Devil Wears Prada 2 will also be instrumental in defining fashion and influencing our lifestyles. The charisma of Miranda Priestly is shown once again as she strides through the office in her striking red high heels, embodying not only her authority but also the unmistakable style that has impressed us all.

Bridging the time until the cinema release on May 1st, 2026 will be a celebration not only for die-hard fans, but also for all those who appreciate the influence of fashion on our everyday lives. The teaser and the comeback of these charming characters make it clear that the story of “The Devil Wears Prada” is far from being told to the end. Ultimately, in the fashion world, nothing is as constant as change - and we can be curious to see how the sequel to the cult comedy will perhaps once again shape our fashion consciousness.
