The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) Review: Meryl Streep Serves More Iconic Moments in Fabulous Sequel

Oh honey, she’s back… and she still doesn’t do “nice.”

Twenty years later and Miranda Priestly is still serving looks sharper than her tongue. The Devil Wears Prada 2 struts into theaters like it owns the place (because it does), delivering the perfect mix of delicious fashion porn, biting one-liners, and just enough heart to keep us emotionally invested while we judge everyone’s outfits.

The Queens Are Serving

Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly remains an absolute icon. She’s older, slightly (very slightly) softer around the edges, but that icy stare could still freeze lava. Watching her navigate the collapse of traditional print media while refusing to loosen her grip on Runway is pure entertainment. She’s less monster, more complicated legend — and we’re here for this evolved villain era.

Anne Hathaway returns as Andy Sachs, now a battle-hardened journalist who’s been chewed up and spit out by the real world. She’s wiser, wittier, and far less naive. The tension between her and Miranda is even juicier this time around because Andy finally knows how to play the game.

Emily Blunt steals every scene she’s in as Emily Charlton. She’s climbed the ladder and become a powerful luxury brand executive, yet she’s still gloriously petty, anxious, and fiercely loyal in the most chaotic way. Her chemistry with the rest of the cast is chef’s kiss.

Stanley Tucci as Nigel brings the warmth and wisdom we didn’t know we needed. He’s the voice of reason in a sea of stilettos and spreadsheets.

The Verdict

This sequel is everything we secretly hoped for: glamorous, funny, ridiculously stylish, and surprisingly sharp about the current state of media, influencers, and the fashion industry’s survival in the age of TikTok and AI.

It’s not reinventing the wheel, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a glossy, snarky, empowering love letter to ambitious women who are trying to have it all — even when “having it all” comes with a killer pair of Jimmy Choos and a terrifying boss.

Final Score: 9.5/10

If you loved the original, this one will feel like catching up with your most dramatic, best-dressed friends. Grab your girls, wear your cutest outfit, and go see it. Just don’t be surprised if you leave wanting to quit your job and demand a promotion… while side-eyeing everyone’s shoes.

Gird your loins, ladies. Miranda’s back.
