To all fashion enthusiasts, style babes, and Miranda girls, our time has finally come. Whether you’re an Andy or Emily girl, Runway opens its doors once again with red Valentino heels leading the way.
Get your best dress and sky-high boots on, because we’re seated for The Devil Wears Prada 2. After 20 years, the movie that defined our careers, our style aspirations, and our obsession with fashion is officially back. And yes, we are not okay. We are thriving.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 officially hits theaters May 1, 2026, and if you haven’t watched the trailer yet, stop reading and go. We’ll wait. The teaser alone, set to Madonna’s Vogue, Miranda in her signature frames, red stilettos, four devastating words (“Took you long enough”), racked up 181.5 million views in 24 hours. That’s not hype. That’s a cultural event.
Gird your loins. Runway’s back open, and we’re diving into Runway approved fashion and eyewear.
What’s The Devil Wears Prada Actually About? (Yes, It’s More Than Fashion)
The Devil Wears Prada film came out in 2006, adapted from Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel, and it’s never really left. Here’s why.
On the surface, it’s a movie about a journalism grad, Andy Sachs, who lands the most coveted (and most terrifying) job in fashion: junior assistant to Miranda Priestly, editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. What it’s actually about is the price of ambition. What you’re willing to trade to get where you want to go. Who you become in the process, and whether you’re okay with that person.
Andy walks into Runway, not knowing the difference between cerulean and blue. She leaves knowing exactly who she is, what she wants, and what she’s not willing to sacrifice for it. That arc? Still hits.
As Nigel put it: “You sold your soul to the devil when you put on your first pair of Jimmy Choos.”
Fair. And we’d do it again.
Who’s the Real Villain in The Devil Wears Prada?
(We’re Settling This)
It’s Miranda, right? Cold, demanding, makes her assistants’ lives miserable without blinking. Easy answer.
Except Miranda never once pretended to be anything other than exactly what she is. She was always clear about the terms. “By all means, move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.” You knew what you were signing up for.
The real villain of The Devil Wears Prada is the system that rewards that behavior and the culture that makes it so glamorous that millions of people, including Andy, including us, still line up for it. Miranda makes the most honest speech in the film when she tells Andy: “You are not as evolved as you would like to think.” She’s not wrong. Andy made every choice that got her there. Nobody forced the Chanel boots.
That’s what makes The Devil Wears Prada a great film and not just a great fashion film. It doesn’t hand you a clean villain. It holds up a mirror.
“That’s all.”

The Plot
Runway‘s survival is on the line in a collapsing print media world. Miranda’s navigating a landscape where the magazine’s no longer untouchable. Emily, now a senior executive at Dior, holds the funding that could save it. Andy’s back at Runway as Features Editor. It’s messy. It’s personal. And it’s fashion.

The Cast, The Characters, and The Glasses That Made Them
Here’s the thing about The Devil Wears Prada cast: the eyewear isn’t simply styling, it’s storytelling. Every frame tells you who that character is before they say a single word. Let’s break it down.
Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly
Miranda’s glasses in The Devil Wears Prada film are not accessories. They’re weapons. Large, dramatic, dark frames that walk into a room first and communicate one thing immediately: I’ve already decided, and I’m already bored by whatever you’re about to say.
In The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer, she’s back in signature oversized frames, striding down the Runway corridor. Nothing’s changed. Why would it? When something’s perfect, you don’t update it. You wear it again.
Off screen, Meryl consistently leans toward clean, structured, slightly oversized frames. Timeless, quietly luxurious, never loud. As we covered in our Meryl Streep style deep-dive, her eyewear is always the exclamation point on the outfit, never the distraction.
The Classic Specs match:
Oversized and Structured Square Frames
The frame that tells the room you’ve already read the brief, made the decision, and are simply waiting for everyone else to catch up.
Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs
Andy’s eyewear arc in The Devil Wears Prada film is one of the great character transformations in cinema. She starts with nothing… then steps into the famous Chanel boots, the belted coat, the dark frames, and suddenly – she’s someone else: someone the industry takes seriously, and someone Miranda almost respects.
In real life, Anne gravitates toward refined, feminine shapes. Slim cat-eyes, delicate ovals, always polished, never overdone. In The Devil Wears Prada 2, expect Andy to be fully grown into herself. Effortlessly chic. Quietly powerful. Done proving it, but still dressed like she has something to say.
The Classic Specs Match:
Classic Black Frames
Graceful and sharp enough to walk back into Runway without flinching.
Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton
Emily Charlton is the original fashion girl villain, and we mean that with the fullest respect and affection. She’s just one stomach flu away from her goal weight, and that line lives rent-free in the brain of every person who has ever worked in the creative industry.
Emily Blunt’s personal style is bold and intentional. Strong silhouettes, confident color, frames that make a statement. In The Devil Wears Prada 2, Emily Charlton’s a Dior executive now, which means the eyewear’s almost certainly sharper, more architectural, and completely unapologetic.
The Classic Specs Match:
A bold oversized lens or deep acetate
Decisive. Always.
Stanley Tucci as Nigel
Nigel told Andy the truth when nobody else would: “You have no style or sense of fashion.” Then helped her anyway. That’s the energy of a great friend and an even better stylist.
Stanley Tucci in real life is consistently one of the best-dressed men in any room. Clean, classic, European-influenced. Round or rectangular frames, always refined. The kind of man who understands restraint is its own form of loudness.
The Classic Specs Match:
A classic Round or clean Rectangular in carbon black or tortoise
Understated. Impeccable. Doesn’t need to announce it.

7 Ways to Dress Like You Belong in The Devil Wears Prada 2
Fashion’s swinging back toward intention right now. Away from fast, loud, disposable. Toward considered, classic, built to last. Your Devil Wears Prada 2 era is perfectly timed. As Miranda would say, you have no idea how many calories that requires.” Dressing well doesn’t either. But here’s how to make it look effortless anyway.
1. Lead with your eyewear
Sunglasses set the tone before you say a word. Oversized for authority. Cat-eye for edge. Aviator for polish. Choose with intention.
2. Go monochromatic at least once this season
Head-to-toe tonal dressing is the fastest way to look like you have your life together, even when you absolutely don’t.
3. Buy the piece that feels like too much, then wear it anyway
Miranda didn’t ask the room if it was okay. Neither should you.
4. Keep accessories minimal but deliberate
One great bag. One great frame. Done. Nigel didn’t pile it on.
5. Match your frame to your moment
Heading into a big meeting? Oversized or aviator. Brunch with the girls? Cat-eye or oval. The right frame’s always the right move. Need help finding yours? This guide breaks it down by style and vibe.
6. Stop saving things for special occasions
Andy wore the Chanel boots on a Tuesday. Wear the good stuff now.
7. Know your character and commit
Miranda, Andy, or Emily this season? Dress accordingly and go all the way in. Half-committed outfits are the fashion equivalent of “I’m doing the best I can,” and Miranda has thoughts about that.
