The Devil Wears Prada 2 Trailer: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway Are Back

Meryl Streep as the unflappable Miranda Priestly, flanked by Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs and Stanley Tucci’s Nigel, in a tense office standoff from the trailer.

The trailer opens with Madonna’s “Vogue” setting the tone, as Miranda Priestly navigates the decline of print media. Streep’s icy queen remains supreme, but the story flips dynamics: Andy Sachs (Hathaway) returns triumphantly as Runway‘s new Features Editor, while Emily Charlton (Blunt) has evolved from assistant to a formidable rival executive. The pair’s reunion crackles with tension—Emily’s chagrin at Andy’s promotion is palpable, and their catch-up scene highlights how much (and how little) has changed.

Watch Devil Wears Prada 2 Trailer: Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt Catch Up

Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, channeling fierce ambition in a chic black ensemble, ready to challenge the old regime.

The standout moment? Miranda’s hilariously oblivious reaction to her former assistants. When Andy reappears, Nigel (Tucci) quips, “Well, look what T.J. Maxx dragged in,” but Miranda blanks: “She’s one of the Emilys.” Streep delivers the line with perfect deadpan frostiness, turning forgetfulness into comedy gold. Few could sell such arrogance so charmingly—it’s pure Miranda, proving why Streep’s performance remains legendary.

Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Rachel Bloom, Patrick Brammall, and Lady Gaga add fresh intrigue. The trailer teases rivalries over advertising revenue, Miranda nearing retirement, and digital disruption threatening Runway‘s empire.
