Almost two decades since its release in 2006, 'The Devil Wears Prada' is set for an overdue return in the age of digital media with some of its original cast reprising their roles for the upcoming sequel. Not forgetting the absolute devil herself, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, is sure to shine in the second edition of the movie with her first look stunning media outlets worldwide.
After confirming the release of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' for 2026, sources from Entertainment Weekly have spotted the set of the sequel's production with Meryl Streep. The 76-year-old actress can be seen with Priestley's iconic platinum white hair, large shades, a bedazzled tumbler and a colour-blocked outfit, seemingly channelling her inner ruthless fashionista with just one look.
Meryl was spotted on the set of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' yesterday (23rd July 2025) in New York City. Pictures of her emerged after Anne Hathaway teased her reprise as Andy, seemingly in the same colour tones as Priestley. Was this just a pure coincidence, or could it be linked to something planned by the producers?
Fans of the movie have expressed their excitement for Streep's reprise of Miranda Priestly with Twitter user @/TAYXKDOT commenting, 'She's got an aura around her where you can just feel her judging you from miles away even if she isn't looking'. Netizens have also praised iconic actress's dedication to her role, with Twitter user @/matheussheridan commenting, 'Her acting method involves fully embodying her characters, even off set. She isolates herself when playing difficult roles, adopting their mannerism in real life. Probably why she walks like Miranda'.
Additionally, 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' welcomes 2 brand new cast members, Kenneth Branagh and 'Bridgerton' star Simone Ashley. Are you ready to see the cast back in their roles in the iconic fashion film?

It has been almost two decades since the iconic group Destiny's Child disbanded. Yet, fans have remained eager for any chance to see the trio together again. As their music continues to resonate across generations, their reunion is always a highly anticipated event.

Sip Carefully: When spilling the tea becomes a public mess

WE are living in a digital age where personal lives are no longer just private affairs - they are content. A simple tap on Instagram Stories or a tweet beginning with 'let me spill some tea' can turn into a public spectacle, often at the expense of someone's dignity. The phrase 'spill the tea', once light-hearted internet slang for gossip, has evolved into something more damaging. On Malaysian social media, it's increasingly common to see private disputes, failed marriages, family drama and even intimate details of someone's breakdown being laid bare for strangers to consume, judge and share. A Culture Shift: From Gossip to Public Humiliation What used to be whispered in close circles has now become clickbait. Platforms like TikTok, X (Twitter) and Instagram have enabled a culture where exposing the disgrace ( aib ) of others is not only normalised, but celebrated with likes, shares and viral fame. Marriage issues, infidelity, toxic in-laws and messy break-ups are no longer topics of quiet reflection or dignified resolution, they're treated as entertainment. And more often than not, they are shared under the guise of 'awareness', 'venting', or even 'healing'. But are we truly healing, or simply humiliating? In cultures that value respect, privacy and emotional boundaries, the rise of oversharing, especially when it involves others' private lives, signals not just a shift in habits but a collapse of basic decency. The Double Standard of Digital Morality Ironically, while many users condemn cyberbullying or 'cancel culture', they often participate in gossip threads, screenshots and blind items that ruin reputations. The digital audience is quick to judge, slow to reflect. Worse still, once something is online, it's never truly gone. What might be a moment of emotional impulse or a cry for validation becomes permanent digital residue, impacting not only the individual involved but also their families, children and communities. During a Coldplay concert, Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and Head of HR Kristin Cabot were caught embracing on the kiss cam - both reportedly married to others, which instantly ignited a social media firestorm and escalated into the biggest global scandal as the incident exposed their identities, led to Byron's resignation, and sparked international debate about privacy, corporate ethics, and public shaming. (Internet Photo) The Consequences We Overlook Spilling someone else's personal story can have real-world effects: job loss, family rifts, mental health decline or legal repercussions. And yet, the line between public interest and private invasion has become dangerously blurred. Moreover, for individuals in crisis, the pressure to share their side of the story online creates an unhealthy feedback loop where trauma is commodified and resolution is replaced by revenge. Choosing Decency Over Drama This is not a call for silence, but for wisdom. There's a difference between speaking up on important issues such as abuse or injustice, and airing every disagreement or emotional hurt in a public forum. If we are to preserve the values of respect, dignity and community, we must re-evaluate how we use our platforms. Not everything needs to be posted. Not every heartbreak is a hashtag. And not every tea needs to be spilled. Social media is a powerful tool but with great reach comes great responsibility. Let's choose decency over drama, and reflection over reaction.
