"The Devil Wears Prada 2" is paving the way with groundbreaking momentum. Indeed, the first glimpse of Anne Hathaway reprising her iconic role as Andy Sachs in the sequel has been unveiled, and these photos offer a tantalizing preview of what lies ahead for eager fans. One particular scene captured on set showcases the 42-year-old actress, donning a chic patterned maxi dress accessorized with a chic tan bucket hat, as she strides across a bustling New York City street, engrossed in a phone conversation. This snapshot not only underscores that Andy has carried forward her haute couture education from the 2006 original into the future narrative but also reveals more about her lifestyle. Besides her cellphone, Anne is seen clutching a Fendi Basket Forty8 tote, a rolling suitcase, and a hanger bag emblazoned with the word "Runway," subtly hinting at her possible return to the fictional fashion magazine.
What else caught our eye in these photos? Notably absent from Anne's attire was a ring on a particular finger, subtly suggesting that Andy remains unmarried in the sequel. While this photo sparked much contemplation among fans, it was merely a taste of Anne's wardrobe for the movie, slated for release in May 2026. Another behind-the-scenes snap, shared on July 21st, unveiled a second look for her character, featuring a pinstriped sleeveless vest paired with matching trousers and sleek black closed-toe boots.
Since the sequel's announcement earlier this year, intriguing details about the film have trickled in. Among the new faces joining the cast is Kenneth Branagh, who will portray the husband of Meryl Streep's formidable Miranda Priestley. Furthermore, the plot of the second installment has been unveiled. According to a press release by 20th Century Studios, the narrative will revolve around Miranda's struggle with the waning influence of traditional magazine publishing, amidst a confrontation with her former assistant Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), who has ascended to the position of a high-ranking executive at a prestigious luxury advertising firm.
Will these two fashion powerhouses find common ground? Fans will eagerly await the answer. Emily herself has remained tight-lipped on the matter, teasing, "Why are Meryl and I so mean to each other in every movie we do?" she quipped to Entertainment Tonight in June. "We always seem to have beef with each other. I don't know what it is. Let's hope we remedy it this time. I'm not so sure, though."
