The first full-length trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially here, and it confirms exactly what fans hoped for: Miranda Priestly still owns every room she walks into.
Per People, the footage reunites the original power circle—Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci—and plays like a direct continuation of the world viewers left behind in 2006, only sharper, louder, and very aware that the media industry has changed.
The vibe is familiar: long hallways, killer coats, and Miranda moving with the same unbothered precision that once sent assistants scrambling for lattes. It’s not nostalgic fluff. It’s the same ice, just twenty years older and arguably colder.
Behind the scenes, the reunion hit just as hard for the cast.
In a Vogue interview previewing the sequel, Hathaway described a camera test that immediately transported her back. “I heard over the radio: ‘Miranda Priestly is walking.’ Meryl, as Miranda, had started down the hallway ahead of me — I was maybe 50 feet behind her — and seeing her from the back was practically psychedelic.”
She added, “I just felt so many portals open up at that moment. I was 22 again, but it was still now.”
There’s one key difference this time around, though. Hathaway jokes, “Thankfully, this time she didn’t stay in character the entire time, so we had a lot of laughs.”
That shift comes after Streep’s experience on the first film. Reflecting on trying Method acting back then, Streep previously recalled, “It was horrible! I was [miserable] in my trailer. I could hear them all rocking and laughing. I was so depressed! I said, ‘Well, it’s the price you pay for being boss!’ That’s the last time I ever attempted a Method thing.”
Back in 2006, Streep’s performance as Miranda earned an Oscar nomination, while Hathaway played Andy Sachs, the wide-eyed assistant thrown into the deep end of high fashion.
Now, the sequel picks up in a very different era, examining how the publishing and fashion worlds have evolved since Runway’s glossy heyday.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 opens in theaters on May 1.
