The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer has finally landed, and it feels like Miranda Priestly just walked back into our lives with that terrifying calm that made her iconic. In less than a minute of footage, fans get confirmation that Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are all returning for a sequel that takes place nearly twenty years after the original. Variety, Entertainment Weekly, and multiple outlets have confirmed what the trailer already screams: the fashion world may have changed, but Miranda hasn’t softened, even a little bit.
The trailer opens with Madonna’s “Vogue,” a perfect wink to the opening montage of the first film. Miranda’s footsteps echo through the Runway hallway while assistants scatter like they did in 2006. Andry Sachs appears in an elevator, greeting Miranda with a calm “Took you long enough.”
It’s the cinematic equivalent of a raised eyebrow. A simple line, but the message is clear. Andy isn’t the girl who once cried in a Paris hotel hallway.
What The Devil Wears Prada 2 Trailer Reveals
The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer sets up the core conflict from the get-go. Miranda is fighting to keep Runway alive in a media world that’s collapsing under digital competition. Andy is now a major force in journalism and consults for several publications. Emily Charlton has climbed every corporate ladder imaginable and now controls a luxury advertising empire that Runway desperately needs.
Seeing Emily roll her eyes at Andy again restores something like peace in the universe. It’s almost therapeutic. One shot shows Nigel, clipboard in hand, observing the two with a smirk that feels like a callback to his iconic “You sold your soul to the devil when you put on your first pair of Jimmy Choos.”
The trailer also confirms several new cast members, including Kenneth Branagh as Miranda’s husband, Lucy Lui in a sharp executive role, and Simone Ashley in a still-secret position that fans suspect may involve a runway takeover. Filming is split between New York and Milan Fashion Week, which means the sequel will give us the high-fashion locations the first movie only hinted at.
Fashion Nostalgia with New Problems
The trailer doesn’t ignore the original film’s most memorable moments, like the flash of a cerulean moon board. Or when Nigel walks past a rack of coats that feel suspiciously like the ones Miranda discarded with silent disgust. And yes, there may be a quick shot of Andy sprinting through the Runway bullpen again, but this time she’s not carrying Starbucks cups. She’s armed with a briefcase that looks expensive enough to have its own security detail.
What the trailer highlights most is the tension between old power and new influence. The story seems ready to dig into how the fashion industry has shifted from glossy print covers to social media empires. The sequel isn’t trying to repeat the first film. It’s trying to answer what happens when the people who once shaped culture wake up to find that culture has moved on.
What the Trailer Doesn’t Tell Us
The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer leaves out several details on purpose. There’s no sign of Nate, which may be a relief to viewers who still remember the grilled cheese fight. There’s no hint yet of whether Andy stayed with him, though early reports suggest the sequel won’t revisit old romance.
We also don’t see any major showdown moments, although the tension between Miranda and Emily is palpable. It feels like old times, but much sharper stakes and flipped dynamics.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer does what a good trailer should. It pulls us back into the world of Runway and reminds us why these characters became part of pop culture in the first place.
