Alright, everyone, gird your loins! Two decades later, the Devil Wears Prada pack – Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt – are back on our screens for a long-awaited sequel, proving fashion, fun and friendship never go out of style.
Now we’re spilling all the tea from behind the scenes…
Anne insisted on a size-inclusive sequel
Anne, 43, wanted to make a movie that represented everyone.
“She made a beeline to the producers about it, securing promises that the models in the show that we were putting together for our film would not be so skeletal,” reveals a chuffed Meryl, 76.
“She’s a stand-up girl… Nobody lost their jobs – in fact, it created more jobs. Isn’t it better when you see so many different types of bodies up there like that?”
Meryl got the chop!
She may be the title character, but Meryl’s revealed many of her scenes ended up edited out! “I didn’t have any improvements to make on this script,” she confesses. “This script came to me fully formed and wonderful. Of course, I was cut out of quite a bit of it… Oh, yes! But I’m sure they will be on the DVD, if we even have the DVDs any more.”
The actors actually crashed Fashion Week
Meryl and Stanley, in character as Miranda Priestly and Nigel Kipling, sat front row at Dolce & Gabbana’s show during Milan Fashion Week in September 2025. “It’s really not easy to do something like that live, in real-time,” says designer Molly. “That is really a tall order. I think if we had been able to, we would’ve gone to more shows. In the first movie, we just created them and did that all on a sound stage.”
Stanley’s co-star played matchmaker!
After Stanley, 65, lost his first wife Kathryn to breast cancer in 2009, Emily, 43, introduced him to her big sister Felicity, 45, at her wedding to John Krasinski in 2010. Two years later, Stanley and Felicity were married themselves, and now share two kids. Stanley has revealed he has a “precious but so odd” 2006 photo of late wife Kate meeting future wife Felicity at the premiere of the original The Devil
Wears Prada.
long days ended with martini parties
Stanley would shake up a martini for cast and crew after particularly strenuous days on set. “You’ve never seen a makeup trailer so happy to have Stanley in it because you will get a martini,” says Emily. “We had a few with Meryl too. She was more of a Method actor on the first one.”
They raided fashion archives
Costume designer Molly Rogers – who worked on the original film under Patricia Field and also styled And Just Like That – reveals designers were “hesitant” to contribute to the first movie. But they had carte blanche 20 years later. “This time around, everyone’s so excited,” she says. “We went into the Jean Paul Gaultier archive – that was really fun – to look and see what would work. And we went to the Dior archive.”
