Release Date and Key Cast Returning
The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be released in theaters on May 1, 2026. The four principal cast members from the original film are returning: Meryl Streep reprises her role as Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway returns as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt plays first assistant Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci returns as Nigel Kipling, Miranda's right-hand man. The sequel marks nearly two decades since the premiere of the original film.
World Premiere Celebration
The film's world premiere took place on Monday, April 28, 2026, at Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall in New York City. The event was a star-studded affair with numerous celebrity attendees and elaborate theme-park-esque activations celebrating the fashion-forward film. The cast members dressed in high couture for the occasion, with Streep in a red Givenchy gown, Hathaway in a red Louis Vuitton dress, Blunt in Schiaparelli couture, and Tucci in Giorgio Armani.
Additional Cast and New Roles
Beyond the original four stars, the sequel features additional returning cast members and new additions. Simone Ashley from Bridgerton stars as Miranda's new first assistant in a custom Prada gown. The film includes numerous cameos, with so many familiar faces that identifying them all could cause whiplash. New cast members include Pauline Chalamet and comedians Milly Tamarez and Catherine Cohen, among others.
Real-Life Connections
The cast has real-life ties that extend beyond the film. Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt are in-laws in real life—Tucci has been married to Emily's sister Felicity since 2012, with Emily having introduced them on the set of the original Devil Wears Prada. Meryl Streep's daughter Grace Gummer, known for Love Story, attended the premiere with her husband, Grammy-winning producer Mark Ronson.
