Gird your loins, Devil Wears Prada fans. The latest trailer for the much-anticipated sequel has now been released.
In the preview, which comes after a brief teaser last year showed Meryl Streep‘s Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway‘s Andy Sachs meeting in an elevator, Andy and her former fellow assistant Emily (Emily Blunt) reunite, showing what has (and hasn’t changed).
“You’ve changed. You’re much more confident,” Emily tells Andy in the trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2. “You kept those eyebrows, though, didn’t you?”
The trailer also features glimpses of Miranda and Stanley Tucci‘s Nigel at the Met Gala.
Ahead of Sunday night’s trailer drop, Streep, Hathaway, Blunt and Tucci spoke with Vogue about making the eagerly-awaited follow-up film.
“It was like going into the back of your own closet and finding something, thinking, Oh, I wonder if this still fits?” Streep said.
Meanwhile Blunt said, “It felt a lot like coming home.” But she also poked fun at why she was so “easily” able to reprise her “lunatic” character.
“This character seems to be the glove that fits rather too easily for me,” Blunt said. “She’s a lunatic. Maybe I should question myself on that: why it seems so easy to step back into her.”
And Streep and Blunt spoke about the extensive fan interest in the sequel that manifested itself in crowds of onlookers as well as numerous photos and videos littering social media as the sequel was being filmed in New York this past summer.
“All of this attention and obsession with the quick consumption of this movie before it’s even out … in many ways is emblematic of how our industry and our lives have changed,” Blunt told Vogue. “We began wearing our sweatpants to set and only changing out of them at the last minute to try to preserve the magic.”
Streep, meanwhile, was thrilled at the excitement.
“It felt jubilant, when I first got out on Sixth Avenue—where we filmed 20 years ago and nobody was interested,” she said. “I got changed, got out of my camper, and just heard this roar! When we shot the wannabe Met Ball, it was even crazier. People were dressed up as Miranda! Honestly, it really threw me.”
The Vogue piece also goes into great detail about the clothes, hair and makeup for the sequel.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to hit theaters on May 1 from Disney’s 20th Century Studios. In addition to Streep, Hathaway, Blunt and Tucci, the sequel stars Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak and Conrad Ricamora. Devil Wears Prada director David Frankel returns to helm the sequel, written by Aline Brosh McKenna, who penned the screenplay for the first film, based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel of the same name.
Weisberger released a follow-up, Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, in 2013.
The original film saw Hathaway as a recent graduate who scored a job at the Vogue-like Runway working under its particularly demanding editor-in-chief in Miranda. The sequel sees Miranda and Runway dealing with the challenges of print media in 2026 as she comes into conflict with Emily, now the head of a luxury brand.
In the sequel, Andy returns to Runway after spending years traveling the world as a reporter, a career shift that informs the character’s fashion choices.
“You see her come back to Runway from her reporting job and she’s figuring herself out again, professionally and emotionally,” costume designer Molly Rogers told Vogue. “We distinguish her from the heel-clackers with menswear and vintage touches, and that New York style of character.”
Hathaway added, “I made it an actual story point in the film that we had to explain how somebody who, working as a writer in these times, could have a fabulous wardrobe. I pitched that Andy went on to do investigative journalism, traveled the world for 15 years… and when you’ve had an education at a place like Runway, you know what to do when you see a consignment shop. So she’s been thrifting for the better part of 20 years. And then the magic closet moment comes back with Nigel.”
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is produced by Wendy Finerman and executive produced by Michael Bederman, Karen Rosenfelt and McKenna.
