So picture this: it’s literally midnight in New York City and Meryl Streep—aka Miranda Priestly, aka the mother of all high fashion villains—is out here strutting around in a blood-red gown like she just banished the sun itself. And next to her? Kenneth Branagh in a tux, looking like he’s auditioning for James Bond’s weird uncle. Yes, this is all for The Devil Wears Prada 2 because apparently the devil doesn’t sleep, she just shoots night scenes.
The vibe was very much: “rich vampires outside a brownstone,” and honestly, I would let them drain my life force if it meant I could see that gown up close. This isn’t even the first time Meryl’s been spotted in that exact same dress—she wore it earlier this month filming with Stanley Tucci (the king of camp) and Simone Ashley (the Bridgerton girl who probably brought her own crown).
As for the plot? Buckle up. Miranda Priestly is still terrorizing Runway, except now the magazine is kinda struggling because print is basically a fossil. Meanwhile, Emily Blunt’s character has leveled up and is now a big deal exec at a luxury fashion empire that pays Runway’s bills. Translation: Emily might finally be the one holding the Chanel boots this time.
The movie is set to hit theaters May 1, 2026, which means we’ve got two years to emotionally prepare, rewatch the original 40 times, and practice saying, “That’s all,” into the mirror until our families beg us to stop.
