The first teaser for the highly anticipated sequel, “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” has officially been released, stirring excitement among fans of the original film. In the punchy 52-second clip, Meryl Streep reprises her iconic role as Miranda Priestly, striding confidently through the halls of Runway in striking red stilettos. The tension is palpable when Anne Hathaway’s character, Andy Sachs, makes her entrance in the elevator. “Took you long enough,” Miranda quips, to which Andy responds with a knowing smirk and dark sunglasses.
Set to capture the evolving landscape of fashion journalism, the sequel follows Miranda as she navigates her career amid the decline of print media. Complicating matters, she faces off against her former assistant, Emily Charlton, played by Emily Blunt, who has since risen to a powerful position within a luxury group that holds the advertising dollars Miranda desperately needs to sustain Runway.
The original “The Devil Wears Prada,” which debuted in 2006, follows recent college graduate Andrea Sachs’ journey into the competitive world of journalism through her challenging role as Miranda’s assistant. The film not only captivated audiences but also resonated with critics, earning an impressive $326 million globally.
Returning to their beloved roles are Streep, Hathaway, Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms, and Tibor Feldman. New faces include Kenneth Branagh, who will portray Miranda’s husband, and Simone Ashley in a role yet to be revealed. Additionally, recognizable talents such as Lucy Liu, B.J. Novak, Justin Theroux, and Pauline Chalamet will join the cast, while Patrick Brammall will be introduced as Andy’s new love interest. However, fans will note the absence of Adrian Grenier, who played Nate in the original film.
With the teaser now available, anticipation builds for what promises to be another captivating chapter in the world of high fashion and fierce ambition.
