Armani, Annie Hall, and a Lot of Vintage: An Exclusive First Look at The Devil Wears Prada 2
On the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2, Anne Hathaway thought she was doing a pretty good job of keeping her cool. That, despite a 20-year gap in which the film has become so deeply ingrained in pop culture that a three-word phrase (“Florals, for spring…”) can bring people right back to Runway—and despite the hundreds, if not thousands, of smartphone-armed fans and long-lensed paparazzi who gathered on Sixth Avenue to watch them film scenes.
But then there was the camera test.
“I heard over the radio: ‘Miranda Priestly is walking,’” Hathaway says, speaking to Vogue from the set of her next movie, in Budapest. “Meryl, as Miranda, had started down the hallway ahead of me—I was maybe 50 feet behind her—and seeing her from the back was practically psychedelic. I just felt so many portals open up at that moment. I was 22 again, but it was still now. Thankfully, this time, she didn’t stay in character the entire time, so we had a lot of laughs.”
Filming wrapped last summer on The Devil Wears Prada 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2006 movie starring Hathaway as Andy Sachs, an eager young reporter who—hired as the second assistant to Miranda Priestly, the fierce and formidable editor-in-chief of Runway magazine—wrestles with how much she’ll compromise her life, identity, and values for the job.
Once again directed by David Frankel, TDWP2 will follow Andy’s return to Runway as Miranda navigates the perilous new media landscape (and Runway’s precarious position within it). This includes reconnecting with another former assistant, Emily (Emily Blunt)—now the head of a luxury brand and holding the keys to commercial money that could mean Runway’s survival.

Many members of the original cast and crew have returned—very happily so—including Blunt and Stanley Tucci, as the suave and sage Nigel Kipling. “Everyone who was physically able to come back to be a part of the second film did, so we started with such a deep knowledge and appreciation for the last 20 years, and what the film’s become,” Hathaway says. “Someone new on our cast described it as ‘Gay Christmas.’”
Here, ahead of the movie’s May 1 release, we have the exclusive first look at what’s going on back at Runway. There’s a sharply spectacled Miranda at her desk in a power-shouldered blazer (an afternoon for fittings was spent shopping for and fitting the perfect set of Priestly specs); a wide-eyed, red-bobbed Emily looking poised to say something deeply cutting; a suited-and-booted Nigel and couture-swathed Miranda attending their own version of the Met Ball; and Andy raiding the Runway closet yet again.
