‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Teaser Drops on Anne Hathaway’s Birthday — Meryl Streep and Hathaway Reunite After 19 Years
Fans of The Devil Wears Prada got the ultimate surprise this week when Disney’s 20th Century Studios released the first teaser for The Devil Wears Prada 2 — perfectly timed with Anne Hathaway’s 43rd birthday. The brief clip marks the long-awaited reunion between Hathaway and Meryl Streep, nearly two decades after the original film became a cultural phenomenon.
A Birthday Gift for Fans and Star Anne Hathaway
The 52-second teaser, released on Wednesday, November 12, opens with Streep’s character, Miranda Priestly, stepping into a sleek elevator — her trademark stoic expression and commanding presence instantly recognizable. Moments later, Hathaway’s character, Andy Sachs, rushes in just before the doors close.
Without missing a beat, Miranda turns to Andy and delivers the film’s first new line:
“Took you long enough.”
The line, dripping with the icy wit that made Priestly an iconic character, has already sent social media into a frenzy. The teaser ends with the familiar sound of clicking heels and the film’s tagline — “Fashion Never Goes Out of Style.”
A Long-Awaited Sequel
Nearly 19 years after its 2006 release, The Devil Wears Prada 2 reunites the original cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. According to Variety, the sequel also introduces Lady Gaga in an undisclosed role, adding even more star power to the project.
While plot details remain under wraps, early reports suggest the sequel will explore the shifting landscape of fashion and media in the digital age — with Andy and Miranda once again finding themselves on opposite sides of the industry’s evolution.
The film is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
Revisiting a Classic
The original The Devil Wears Prada, directed by David Frankel and based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel, became a global box-office hit, grossing more than $326 million worldwide. Streep earned an Academy Award nomination for her sharp and stylish portrayal of Miranda Priestly, a character widely believed to be inspired by Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
Hathaway’s performance as Andy Sachs — the wide-eyed aspiring journalist turned confident fashion insider — was praised for its emotional depth and relatability. The film also helped cement Emily Blunt’s breakout status, thanks to her scene-stealing role as Miranda’s ambitious assistant, Emily Charlton.
No Anna Wintour Cameo
In the months leading up to the teaser’s release, speculation ran wild after Anna Wintour was seen chatting with Streep and Tucci at a Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in June. Some fans wondered if the legendary Vogue editor might make a cameo in the sequel.
However, Entertainment Weekly has since confirmed that Wintour will not appear in The Devil Wears Prada 2. The magazine reports that the film’s story remains a fully fictional continuation of the characters’ journeys rather than a meta commentary on real-life fashion figures.
Fans React to the Reunion
The teaser immediately went viral after its release, trending across X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram. Fans flooded the comments with excitement and nostalgia, celebrating the long-overdue reunion of one of cinema’s most beloved duos.
“Miranda Priestly saying ‘Took you long enough’ after 19 years? That’s the best line ever written,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Anne and Meryl in an elevator again? This is the crossover event of my life.”
The Legacy of Style and Power
The Devil Wears Prada 2 aims to capture the sophistication and emotional tension that made the original an instant classic — exploring how the fashion industry, once ruled by print media, has adapted to the world of influencers, digital platforms, and fast fashion.
For fans, seeing Streep and Hathaway share the screen again feels like both a nostalgic reunion and the promise of a new chapter in their on-screen power dynamic.
With the teaser now igniting anticipation worldwide, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about releases of 2026.
