Meryl Streep Returns as Miranda Priestly in ‘Devil Wears Prada’ Sequel: First Look
Meryl Streep, 76, has been spotted filming the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada in New York City, marking her return as the iconic fashion tyrant Miranda Priestly. Fans erupted online, stunned by her ageless appearance nearly 20 years after the original film’s 2006 release. Social media buzzed with comments like, “She hasn’t aged a day!” and “Queen is back!”

Reprising her role inspired by Vogue’s Anna Wintour, Streep’s Miranda Priestly remains a force of nature. On set, she mirrored her character’s sharp style: a lavender blouse, leather pencil skirt, and bold orange heels. The sunglasses, a nod to Wintour’s real-life “armor,” completed the look.
Returning Cast & New Faces
Anne Hathaway is back as Andy Sachs, now a polished executive, spotted in a sleek pinstripe suit. Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci also return as Miranda’s sardonic assistant Emily Charlton and art director Nigel Kipling. New additions include Kenneth Branagh as Miranda’s husband and Patrick Brammall as Andy’s love interest.

Sequel Plot & Book Differences
The sequel, directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, diverges from Lauren Weisberger’s 2013 novel Revenge Wears Prada. Miranda now battles the decline of print media, seeking a deal with a luxury firm where Emily (Blunt) works—setting up a clash of titans.
Behind the Scenes Drama
Weisberger’s 2003 roman à clef, based on her stint as Wintour’s assistant, initially sparked controversy. Wintour, though publicly gracious, reportedly fumed privately. At the 2006 premiere, she cheekily wore Prada, later telling CNN she chose to view the attention “positively.”
