Devil Wears Prada 2 Outfits

The much anticipated sequel to the film every fashion and luxury media enthusiast has watched at least once has finally arrived. The Devil Wears Prada 2 opened this week, with moviegoers keeping their eyes peeled for the next wave of big-screen fashion trends. Curated by Molly Rogers—protegé of the original film’s Patricia Field—the wardrobe unveils a modern “corporate bohème” aesthetic for Andy and an “assertive, sharpened” power wardrobe for Miranda.

1. The “Brimstone-Red” Valentino Rockstud Heels

Worn by: Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep)

The Piece: Valentino Garavani Rockstud high heels in “brimstone red.”

Context: These shoes serve as the “visual herald” for Miranda’s arrival in the film. They are a direct, high-fashion update to the red pitchfork-heel stiletto featured on the original 2006 movie poster. In the sequel, they appear prominently in the trailer and on the official film posters.

2. The Dries Van Noten “Toreador” Jacket

Worn by: Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep)

The Piece: An olive and aqua Dries Van Noten (Autumn/Winter 2025) toreador-style jacket covered in curtain tassels.

Context: Costume designer Molly Rogers refers to this as the “editrix jacket”—the spiritual successor to the gold-coin-adorned jacket Miranda wore in the first film. It is seen in a pivotal scene where Miranda shimmies in an elevator, signaling her enduring dominance in the fashion world.

3. The Dries Van Noten Grey Pearl-Embellished Coat

Worn by: Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep)

The Piece: A structured, dove-grey Dries Van Noten wool coat featuring hand-sewn pearl clusters across the shoulders and lapels.

Context: Miranda wears this monochromatic masterpiece during a high-stakes meeting at the Runway offices, layering it over a vintage 1990s Saint Laurent belted grey jumpsuit. The look is a masterclass in “tonal power dressing”—it’s softer than her sharp black suits of the past, but the pearl embellishments provide a literal “hard” edge that reminds everyone she is still the most formidable woman in the room.

4. The Vintage Jean Paul Gaultier Pinstripe Suit

Worn by: Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway)

The Piece: A 1990s archival Jean Paul Gaultier black-and-white pinstripe waistcoat and matching trousers.

Context: This look represents Andy’s new “features editor” identity—professional but with a sharp, vintage edge. She pairs this with a vintage Coach leather messenger bag, signaling her shift from “Runway girl” to a serious journalist who still understands the power of a label.

5. The Jemma Wynne & Pearl Stacked Necklaces

Worn by: Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway)

The Pieces: The Jemma Wynne Forme Toggle Pendant Necklace (18k gold) layered with a classic pearl strand featuring a delicate gold charm drop.

Context: This “signature stack” appears throughout the film and has become the breakout accessory moment of the sequel. While the first film featured Andy in heavy, layered Chanel chains, her 2026 jewelry is more “intentional and refined”. The Jemma Wynne toggle—a modern reimagining of 19th-century watch chains—serves as the anchor, while the pearls provide a nod to traditional fashion heritage. Costume designer Molly Rogers used this combination to reflect a character who no longer follows trends but defines them.

6. The Phoebe Philo “T-Shirt with a Train”

Worn by: Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway)

The Piece: A crisp white Phoebe Philo (2025/2026) cotton jersey T-shirt featuring an unexpected floor-length train.

Context: Described by critics as a “defining moment” in her style evolution, Andy wears this for a casual yet high-impact scene in Manhattan. She pairs it with Nili Lotan barrel-leg jeans and antiqued leather Prada pumps, blending high-fashion “theatricality” with everyday streetwear.

7. The Rabanne Blue Metallic Draped Dress

Worn by: Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway)

The Piece: A Rabanne blue metallic draped midi dress with a silver chain mail pouchette.

Context: This piece was reportedly chosen by Anne Hathaway herself for the film. It appears during a high-profile gala sequence (the annual SMBC benefit), marking Andy’s full circle return to the world of “campy glamour.” It is often cited as the most “theatrical” look in her sequel wardrobe.

8. The Gabriela Hearst Colorblock Maxi

Worn by: Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway)

The Piece: A floor-length Gabriela Hearst (Spring/Summer 2026) silk-and-cashmere maxi dress featuring bold, architectural colorblocking in shades of terracotta, cream, and midnight blue.

Context: This look has become the poster child for Andy’s “corporate bohème” aesthetic. It represents a significant departure from the rigid, trend-chasing outfits of her youth, leaning instead into sustainable, high-craft luxury. She wears this during the pivotal “walk and talk” through Central Park with Miranda, signaling that she no longer needs a “stiletto armor” to stand her ground.

9. The 2003 Archive Dior Military Corset

Worn by: Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt)

The Piece: A vintage 2003 Christian Dior (John Galliano era) green military lace-up corset top.

Context: This is arguably Emily’s most “Dior” moment in the sequel. She wears it during the tense boardroom scene where she confronts Miranda about ad-buying authority. The “swamp green” color is a nod to costume designer Molly Rogers’ vision of Emily as a “swamp monster”—beautiful but dangerous. It perfectly blends her new corporate power with the edgy, “hard” aesthetic she’s adopted in the twenty years since leaving Runway

10. The Berluti E’Mio Leather Briefcase

Carried by: Nigel Kipling (Stanley Tucci)

The Piece: A bespoke Ermenegildo Zegna midnight-blue three-piece tuxedo with silk grosgrain peak lapels.

The Piece: The Berluti E’Mio briefcase in a hand-patinated olive Venezia leather.

Context: Seen in a high-energy street scene in Manhattan, this briefcase is the ultimate “if you know, you know” luxury statement. While Andy and Miranda command attention with bold silhouettes, Nigel’s power lies in artisanal perfection. The E’Mio, known for its distinctive architectural clasp and signature Scritto engraving, perfectly anchors his grey three-piece Prince of Wales check suit. It signals that even two decades later, Nigel remains the guardian of craft and heritage in an increasingly fast-fashion world.
