The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially under way. Here's everything we know
It has been nearly two decades since icy fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) sneered at a cerulean sweater and made the life of her new fashion-clueless assistant Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) a living hell. Now, the two characters are preparing for a return, along with several other familiar faces and Oscar winner Kenneth Branagh.
The film's distributor, 20th Century Studios, announced its production on Tuesday with a teaser featuring pitchfork-heeled red pumps and iconic lines from the original, including Priestly's famously dismissive 'that's all'.
Alright, everyone, gird your loins. Here's everything we know about the sequel so far.
What will it be about?
The original film, which premiered in 2006 and was based on the novel by Lauren Weisberger, saw recent university graduate Sachs take a job as an assistant to the ice queen Priestly, editor of high fashion magazine Runway. Sachs quickly realises she is completely out of her depth, especially given the lack of support from fellow assistant Emily (Emily Blunt).
The sequel will reportedly see Priestly struggle against the decline of the magazine industry, eventually forcing her to make amends with her former assistant Emily who has become the head of a luxury brand that advertises with Runway.
Will Meryl and Anne return?

Gird your loins (and your wardrobe) for The Devil Wears Prada 2
Anna Wintour may be leaving Vogue but Miranda Priestly is here to stay. Meryl Streep has been seen prepping for The Devil Wears Prada 2 on the streets of New York, with Priestly sporting her signature silver, side-swept hair, a sleek leather skirt from designer Gabriela Hearst, and shielding those professionally judgmental eyes with a pair of pitch-black Jimmy Choo sunglasses. While Streep's character in the movie always has the final word – 'that's all' – as the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, it's the return of Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs that has fashion fans zooming in on photographs of costume labels for inspiration. In the original movie from 2006, Chanel dominated Sachs' wardrobe, once Nigel (Stanley Tucci) helped her dispose of that cerulean blue sweater and introduced the character to tweed and thigh-high boots. This time the film's costume designers are casting the net wider, although so far, no Prada. If you want to get ahead of the film's planned May 1, 2026 release date and steal Hathaway's looks, start with the Gabriela Hearst multicolour embroidered maxi-dress. While the label isn't Chanel, the price tag is just as impressive, with the dress available from Gabriela Hearst for $13,400. The pale blue Fendi handbag Sachs carries is slightly more within reach of mere, mortgaged mortals at $2680 (although it's currently sold out). More accessible and inspiring is an Agolde denim maxi-skirt worn by Hathaway with a simple white singlet from Toteme. While the originals are difficult to find, a quick trip to Cotton On or Kmart could put you on the right track, if it's unlikely you'll be standing near Wintour or the equally fearsome Streep playing Priestly in the near future. The sold-out Chanel velcro sandals, which have a touch of the German backpacker (from the right side of Berlin) about them, worn with the everyday outfit by Hathaway, debuted in former creative director Virginie Viard's autumn 2022 collection and are now being sought out on second-hand sites.

Top stars to attend high-powered Venice Film Festival
Hollywood stars, Oscar-winning directors, Asian heavyweights and European auteurs will vie for top honours at this year's stellar Venice Film Festival, all looking to make a splash at the start of the awards season. Running from August 27 to September 6, the 82nd edition of the world's oldest film festival will showcase a rich array of movies that spans psychological thrillers, art-house dramas, genre-bending experiments, documentaries, and buzzy studio-backed productions. Among the leading A-listers expected to walk the Venice Lido's red carpet are Julia Roberts, Emma Stone, George Clooney, Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Andrew Garfield, Oscar Isaac, Cate Blanchett and Amanda Seyfried. A who's-who of global directors will also be premiering their latest pictures at the 11-day event, including US filmmakers Kathryn Bigelow, Jim Jarmusch, Noah Baumbach and Benny Safdie, alongside top Europeans Yorgos Lanthimos, Paolo Sorrentino, and Laszlo Nemes, and Asia's Park Chan-wook and Shu Qi. Netflix, which skipped Venice last year, returns in full force in 2025 with a trio of headline-grabbing titles, including Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein", a new take on the classic horror tale starring Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth. Baumbach's comedy-drama Jay Kelly, starring Clooney, Adam Sandler and Laura Dern, is also in the main competition and on the Netflix slate, alongside the geopolitical thriller A House of Dynamite, with Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, and directed by Bigelow, who won an Oscar in 2010 for The Hurt Locker. Venice fires the starting gun for the awards season, with films premiering on the Lido in the last four years collecting more than 90 Oscar nominations and winning almost 20, making it the place to be seen for actors, producers and directors alike. In the past nine editions of the Oscars, the award for Best Actress or Best Actor has gone eight times to the protagonists of films first seen in Venice, including Stone for her role in Poor Things in 2024. Stone returns to Venice this year, teaming up again with Poor Things director Lanthimos in an offbeat satire, Bugonia. The indie icon of US cinema, Jim Jarmusch, will be showing his Father Mother Sister Brother, a three-part tale exploring fractured families with a cast that includes Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Adam Driver and Tom Waits. European auteurs are well-represented, with Paolo Sorrentino's La Grazia, starring Toni Servillo, selected as the festival's opening film, while Hungary's Nemes presents the family drama Orphan and France's Francois Ozon showcases his retelling of Albert Camus' celebrated novel The Stranger. One standout is the new thriller by Olivier Assayas, which centres on the rise of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Wizard of the Kremlin will be shown in competition. Jude Law plays Putin, with Alicia Vikander and Paul Dano also starring. The story is told from the perspective of a fictional adviser. A film that looks certain to raise emotions is Kaouther Ben Hania's The Voice of Hind Rajab, which uses original emergency service recordings to tell the story of a five-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in Gaza in 2024 after being trapped for hours in a vehicle targeted by Israeli forces. "I think it is one of the films that will make the greatest impression, and hopefully (won't be) controversial," said the festival's artistic director, Alberto Barbera, his voice trembling as he recalled the movie.
