Absolutely I am unable to be the one moviegoer to decide out of watching trailers. To get me into an AMC, all I want is an elevator pitch: the forged listing, the style, the faintest sketch of the plot. The remainder I will digest with popcorn in hand and my eyes glued to the display screen.
When The Devil Wears Prada introduced its highly-anticipated sequel, I clearly deliberate to disregard teasers in all varieties. I used to be too younger to see the 2006 unique in theaters. This time round, I yearned to view Anne Hathaway in all her Chanel-clad glory up on the silver display screen—not my telephone display screen.
On July 21, nevertheless, The Devil Wears Prada 2 thwarted my plan. With out warning, Andy Sachs (a.okay.a. Hathaway) appeared on my Instagram feed, wearing Chanel dad sandals and a denim maxi skirt. This singular second opened the costume floodgates, and now, the Prada-verse is all I see on-line. Paparazzi photographers and novice TikTokers are busier than ever, prepped with their widest-lens cameras and cell telephones to seize Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep, or all three again in motion.

Hathaway has been on set for lower than per week, and already, she’s been noticed in 5 Andy Sachs units. That is a minimum of 1 / 4 of the film (or a singular makeover montage set to Madonna’s “Vogue”). Considered one of her most viral seems to be to this point was her first suit, a cross between Runway editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly’s moody coloration palette within the first movie and an Aritzia summer time sale rack.
In concept, her tailor-made waist coat, Golden Goose ankle boots, and classic Coach bag did not spoil the plot. It did affirm Andy’s workwear aesthetic has taken a flip that aligns along with her story. By the point it is projected on an 120-inch display screen subsequent Could, I is likely to be underwhelmed—as a result of I do know it is coming.

A number of hours later, my telephone pinged once more with one other Hathaway sighting. Wearing a $7,900 Gabriela Hearst robe, the Oscar winner seemingly gave away a significant plot level: She’s again at Runway.
Whereas en path to the Hampton Jitney bus, Andy was not possible to overlook in multi-color beachwear, plus a Runway garment bag hanging from her carry-on suitcase. This confused 1000’s of followers on-line: On the finish of the primary movie, in spite of everything, Andy give up her journalist job on the top-tier, but poisonous, publication. So, did you simply toss your telephone within the water fountain for enjoyable, Andy? Or, did you notice Miranda was proper—and everybody does, in truth, need this?
That very same day, Anne revealed she’s again at Runway.

I should not be shocked paparazzi are posted up on each nook. Practically twenty years have handed for the reason that first film and its cultural cachet has solely grown in that point. (What number of instances have you recited the trickle-down cerulean speech? Precisely.) Pictures of the set are in excessive demand, and each units off its personal mini discourse in regards to the manufacturers the actors are sporting, the best way they’re styled, and what all of it may probably imply. After all photographers are going the space to snap a sneak peek. Some are even capturing by means of a 30-story excessive rise, which seems to be Runway journal’s new dwelling. (One other spoiler sabotaged by paparazzi.)
Nonetheless, in artwork and in life, nothing will get previous Miranda Priestly. On July 23, Streep waved to photographers from one of many highest flooring whereas she was in character.
One other now-viral TikTok revealed Miranda, Andy, and Stanley Tucci’s character, Nigel Kipling, are all working collectively once more—on sixth Avenue, no much less. There goes my dream of Andy launching her personal journal with out an oz of Miranda’s enter.
The clip additionally included the title of a possible new publication: Adore. The title appeared on the workplace’s giant TV, whereas Hathaway smiled at followers in one other never-before-seen white T-shirt, matching trousers, and a navy blue blazer.
It is virtually a ceremony of passage for New York Metropolis movies to have their costumes photographed whereas the challenge continues to be in manufacturing. Final summer time, Dakota Johnson‘s Materialists received the identical paparazzi remedy. Marie Claire ID’ed every outfit months earlier than the rom-com launched in June 2025.
Nevertheless, the sartorial stakes weren’t almost as excessive for Materialists as they’re for The Satan Wears Prada 2. Johnson’s character, a high-profile matchmaker, dressed effectively sufficient, however trend wasn’t an integral a part of the plot. By figuring out who and what Miranda and Andy are sporting, we might be robbing ourselves of main gasps within the theater. A single garment bag seemingly answered the query we have been asking ourselves for 20 years, in spite of everything.

Since The Satan Wears Prada 2 is filming largely in NYC, distant from twentieth Century Studios’ lot, hoping for zero spoilers seems to be a pipe dream. Even the studio itself shared Hathaway’s first two outfits on Instagram. From now till Could 1, 2026, nevertheless, I will do my greatest to scroll previous any extra posts. I am attempting to protect the integrity of cinema, folks.
And who is aware of? Perhaps it was the forged’s plan all alongside. Maybe they’re exhibiting the laidback seems to be now and reserving extra extravagant costumes for Could 1. In addition to, if Meryl Streep did not need to be seen, the legend has the ability of three Academy Awards to make sure she remained invisible. Was this was a ploy to get audiences speaking? If that’s the case, congratulations. It labored.
