Gird your loins — Miranda Priestly has officially returned!
Meryl Streep, who famously played the fictional publication Runway’s editor-in-chief in 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada, was spotted in New York City on Wednesday, July 23, on the set of the highly anticipated sequel.
Streep, 76, donned a purple blouse tucked into a copper-colored leather Gabriela Hearst skirt with a coordinating trench coat and pumps. She completed her look, in true Miranda fashion, with a pair of oversized Jimmy Choo sunglasses and Briony Raymond diamond ring.
For glam, Streep wore her character’s now-signature white pixie cut.
The Devil Wears Prada, based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel of the same name, chronicled Andy Sachs’ (Anne Hathaway) career after she accepted a position as Miranda’s second assistant. The beloved film also starred Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms and Adrien Grenier. (Grenier, 49, is one of the few OG actors who will not be reprising their roles.)
While most details about the forthcoming sequel have been kept under wraps, Streep previously teased her return.
“I mean, I’d have to lose the f***ing weight, but I would do that, yeah,” Streep quipped to Access Hollywood in 2012.
Hathaway, 42, has also been on board to bring back Andy — long before slipping back on her cerulean sweater.
“I was so beautifully cared for on both of those films. I was a baby, like a legal child, when I made Princess Diaries — I turned 18 while we were making it, and I was a very, very young woman when I made Devil Wears Prada,” Hathaway told Women’s Wear Daily in December 2024, referring to two of her earliest films. “I was so guided and looked after and cared for by the communities that made both of those films in particular, each of their directors, Garry Marshall and David Frankel.”
She added, “I’m so excited that now I can do that for other people, that now I have the knowledge and the experience and the confidence to take care of other people on sets in which I’m looked at as a leader.”
At the time, Hathaway played coy about the sequel.
“I cannot tell you a thing!” she exclaimed.
Since filming began earlier this week, Hathaway has been teasing the movie’s fashion in a series of social media posts.
“Oh, my God. It’s the first day of shooting Devil Wears Prada [2]. I brought the frames that David Frankel, our director, wore on the first Devil Wears Prada 20 years ago,” she said in a Tuesday, July 22, Instagram video. “All of us on set fell in love with them, and we all got them. And, we all are back 20 years later — and we checked, and we all still have them. I brought mine as a good luck [charm] for our first day.”
The Devil Wears Prada sequel hits theaters May 1, 2026.
