For the past month, the two leading ladies of The Devil Wears Prada have been visiting various countries to share sneak peeks of the upcoming movie. And from Mexico to Seoul, each appearance came with its own fashionable moment and cheeky references, a true marker for the film’s messaging and, in turn, the impact it has had on the culture. Now back in Miranda Priestley’s and Andy Sachs’s’ home turf, AKA New York, those moments have come together for the film’s world premiere. Reuniting with Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, and the rest of the cast and crew, we were greeted with another round of statement looks.
For those keeping track, the current premiere is worlds away from the original red carpet 20 years ago, where the style was thematic but nowhere near the current bespoke gowns of today. According to reports, Meryl Streep remarked that it was because “everybody was afraid of Anna on the first one, so we couldn’t find any clothes.” Now, with Wintour’s stamp of approval, every red carpet, including the world premiere, of course, has become certified “Runway” moments.
Starting with the “devil” herself, Meryl Streep stepped onto the carpet in a dramatic, devilish red leather cape by Sarah Burton’s Givenchy. Paired with black opera gloves, it channels Streep’s character flawlessly, while statement Givenchy sunglasses reference Anna Wintour, the inspiration behind Streep’s character.
Anne Hathaway also followed through with the red colour scheme, donning a custom red satin Louis Vuitton gown by Nicolas Ghesquière. With a stiff bustier that features a devil horn shape by the neckline, this style has been Hathaway’s go-to during the film’s press tour. For the modest dressers out there, this neckline is an easy fix with a cape, coat, or matching bolero.
Contrasting the leading ladies, Emily Blunt took to the red carpet in a textured beige gown from Schiaparelli Spring 2026 Haute Couture collection. While this isn’t the first time that Schiaparelli has been featured on the Devil Wears Prada 2 run, this gown definitely stands out from the other looks for its asymmetrical skirt, mushrooming-style bodice, and the maison’s signature shadow silhouette. The gown was paired with jewellery from Mikimoto, a mix of cultured pearls, gold, and diamonds. The look was kept simple with a choker necklace, and matching bracelets and earrings.
Following Blunt was Stanley Tucci, who came in a Giorgio Armani suit, a look so unapologetically Nigel. He wore a plush velvet jacket, a matching grey tie and pocket square, and just like his boss in the film, sported some wide-eyed sunglasses.
Within the new cast joining the film, Simone Ashley disrupted the colour theme with a lime satin dress by Prada. Possibly a reference to her character in the film, the dress features a cropped front and a train at the back, a piece that can become modest-friendly with tights or contrasting-colour pants. The actress tied up the look with silver pointed-toe pumps, a choker necklace, and two diamond rings. Whereas actress Helen J Shen took to the red carpet in a silver feathered dress by Lein. Paired with matching silver shoes and rings, the dress here did all the talking while it sparkled.
