The fashion world just got a major update: the first teaser trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 has officially dropped, and it’s bringing the one-two punch of style and satire fans have been waiting for.
A stylish comeback
The teaser opens with a pair of red high-heeled shoes—yes, those red heels—echoing the iconic visual of the 2006 original. Within seconds, Meryl Streep strides into the sleek offices of fictional Runway magazine, followed by the surprise return of Anne Hathaway as Andrea “Andy” Sachs. Their elevator encounter is short but potent: the line “Took you long enough” delivers the nostalgia with a twist.
Madonna’s “Vogue” plays in the background, tying the new trailer to the original’s fashion-soaked roots.
